Attaining Life’s Goals
Mental, Emotional and Physical Sensations
I feel I am not being rewarded or recognized
I notice I am not meeting my goals
I sense I am not moving fast enough
I can’t seem to focus or pay attention
Go back to the basic Goal Setting Process
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound
Share your vision with friends
The Clock Exercise
With two clocks in the room, notice that each has an audible click as the second hand moves
Concentrate on one of the clocks until all you hear are the clicks emitted from that source
Shift your concentration to the other clock and focus your attention again
