Journal Entry From the Future + Planning & Navigation Steps:

1. Grab a piece of paper and imagine you are in the future about to write in your journal for that day. On this day, you have met your goal and you are ready to write all about how you feel in this moment. Write about who is with you, where you are at, what you see, smell, hear and what that day has in store for you. Don't focus on telling the story of how you met the goal and got to this point. Only focus on the "being" moment. The way you feel after completely the goal. 

2. Select a moment out of your journal entry from the future and draw it, paint it or collage it. This is the moment that is a snap shot of you knowing you accomplished your goal. Include yourself in the drawing, what you see, hear, smell and who you are with. Identify the feeling of the moment and located in or around your body. Make sure to illustrate this feeling in your drawing to really enhance the magic. You don't need to be artist for the richness to work. 

3. Planning & Navigation: Take a piece of paper and draw a diagonal line from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. At the top right corner, draw a mini picture of the moment you just illustrated in the step before. Feel free to jot down any notes you like about this moment for your planning. From there go half way down the line and make another milestone. This is your half way mark to meeting your goal. Write down or draw what is happening during that time frame on your journey toward your larger goal. Now, split the time in half again, what half way to your half way point. Draw it and make notes on the line. Keep doing this process until you are at TODAY. What do you need to do today to meet your goal. Write it down or draw it. Now you have a plan to follow toward your goal at the top right corner. Feel free to get as granular and task oriented as you want during this process and remember, the end result is about the feeling you are having when you reach your goal. 

Happy goal setting Woo Woo Achievers!
