Time Mastery Now

The first rule of reviewing goals is to do it as often as possible. Simply put, the more often you take the time to look at your goals, the more ingrained their positive statements of achievement become in your consciousness. When you review your goals, your mind becomes focused on the target you are aiming to reach and this generates the motivation to act.

At minimum you need to review goals once per week. If that is all the time you have, make sure you allow for at least an hour or more. Aim to dedicate between 3-5 minutes to the review of each goal during each session. If you have many goals, you may not be able to cycle through all of them in a single session. This is all the more reason to have goal review sessions more frequently!

Making the time every single day, or at least every second day to review your goals will greatly increase your odds of successfully achieving your goals. The fact is if you want maximum progress on your goals each day, why not take at least a few moments to look over your goals list everyday?

Reviewing goals is part of the larger goal management process. Generally when you review goals your only action will be to make notes. This is not the time for detailed planning of actions, or making changes to the details of the goal. Instead it is a chance to view the steps you must take to achieve the goal, read the positive affirmation statements and mentally visualize the goal being successfully accomplished.

Daily goal review works well with the creation of a daily to-do list. If you review goals while making your to-do list for the day or week it gives you an opportunity to ensure your doing the tasks that lead to goal achievement.

From the mental perspective of the goal review, it is important to be relaxed and to clear your mind before starting your goal review. Deep breathing or meditation can help in achieving this. If you find it difficult to focus during a goal review session, just remember what a massively positive impact achieving more of your goals will have in every area of your life. Return your focus to the review of your goals.

Aim to create a mental picture of each goal being completed already as you review it. Play a little movie clip in your mind of the goal being achieved. You might be crossing the finish line at the race and you look up at the timing clock, and there it is, a time slightly better than your goal. Maybe you can visualize yourself enjoying the view from the deck of your new home. Or you are at the beach in Cancun, relaxing with your happy family and soaking up the suns rays. By directing the movies in your mind creatively you can program yourself to fully committ to the vision that the goal represents.

Reviewing your goals is an essential step in making progress towards the achievements you deserve. Make it a regular aspect of your goal management program and you will be successful in creating more of what you want in your life.
