Passion Party #571 - If When, Then...

Settling goals does not cut it.

There have been too many years wasted on empty goal-setting.

Promises made in January sit collecting dust or lie tattered on the floor come December.

I know what I want to do

and I know how to do it.

The doing is the hard part

and doing it with consistency is harder.

This year, rather than set goals,

I will create "pre-suasive" statements that will help me achieve

what i want to do in my life.

Instead of having a goal of "lose 10 pounds"

I will say, "When I am offered dessert, then I say "I'll have mint tea with honey, please."

Instead of having a goal of "make more money"

I will say, "When the work day is over, then I can make one more call to a client and offer my help."

The pre-programming may seem artificial, but it is how habits are formed

I want to get where I want to go not by force but by flow.
