First of all, we need to have a goal. What's the goal anyway? Well, it's just something you want to achieve. A target, an aim, or a dream. You want to make real. Why setting goals is important? Because they give us life, purpose and direction. They keep us motivated and give a sense of accomplishment. Examples of goals. I will create a collection of 15 abstract paintings that reflect my personal journey, Curate an art exhibition and hosted in a local gallery. Within the next five months, I will compose and record an original soundtrack for a short documentary film delivering a final fully mastered audio track within the next eight weeks, let's take a moment to reflect on the goal that truly resonates at this point in your life. It could be a longstanding aspiration that hasn't materialized or perhaps it's something you've been avoiding but secretly desire. The key is to ensure that this goal genuinely your own, not influenced by external pressures from parents, friends, or social media. Let's focus on what you genuinely want today, not what you may have thought you wanted a decade ago. This is about discovering your authentic current goal. And now it's the time to test the goal. I'm presenting the list of questions that are important to ask before making plans and certain actions towards the goal. You can write down the answers. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Now that we've explored your goal and delved into its significance, it's time to take a moment and reflect. How do you feel about the goal you've chosen? Does it still resonate with you or do you prefer to change your goal? If you're motivated and committed to pursuing the goal you've identified, we'll move on to the next step. However, if you've come to the realization that your goal has shifted or evolved, don't hesitate to choose another one and revisit the questions. Remember, it's essential that your goal truly reflects your current aspiration. The next step on our journey is to make your goal smart, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound. Let's dive in your goal to make it even more attainable and impactful. What is a Smart goal stands for? Specific is all about getting crystal clear on what you want to achieve. Instead of saying I want to be a writer, try something like I want to write a 90 pages book by June next year completing 200 words per day. See the difference. The more specific you are, the easier it is to focus on your target is for measurable, you need to be able to track your progress and know when you've hit your goal. If you say, I want to get better at cooking, how do you measure that? It's pretty vague. But if you say, I want to learn to cook three new recipes every month, that's something you can measure. A stands for achievable. You don't want to set a goal that's completely out of reach. If you're a beginner in running, setting a goal, like I want to run a marathon next month might not be achievable. Instead, start with something like, I want to run a five K in three months. That's a more doable target. Next up, R stands for relevant. Your goal should make sense in the context of your life. If you set a goal, I want to become a professional skateboarder, but you're not really into it's not relevant. Make sure your goal matters to you and aligns with your interests and values. Lastly, is for time bound, you've got to put a deadline on your goal. Without a deadline, it's easy to procrastinate or lose motivation instead of saying, I want to learn a new language, say I want to learn Spanish within six months. That sets a clear time frame for now that your goal is well defined, it's the perfect time to bring a creative touch to it. I encourage you to channel your artistic site and visually represent your goal. This can take various forms, such as painting your goal or making a collage. Find a special spot in your living space where you can display it, whether it's on your work desk in your bedroom or any place you frequent. Having your artistic representation of the goal in view daily can serve as a constant source of motivation and a reminder of your commitment. 3. Seasons, Psychological Age: Imagine your goal as a season. Is it an inspiring spring, an emotional summer, a serious autumn, or a strong and clear winter? Choose the season that resonates with your vision and draw it. Reflect on why achieving this goal is beneficial. Consider the positive impact it can have on your life. Write down your thoughts on how reaching this goal aligns with your aspirations and values. Delve into the strategies for accomplishing your goal outline, at least two possible variants. These could be different approaches, methods, or steps you can take to progress towards your desired outcome. As you embark on the journey to achieve your goal, consider your psychological age. Are you in a childlike state full of curiosity and resilience, or perhaps in a teenage phase, insistent and determined, Maybe you approach it as an adult employing flexibility and analytical skills. Or as an older person with a peaceful and accepting mindset. Reflect on your psychological age and how it influences your approach to the goal. 4. Message from the Future: In this lesson, we will embark on a unique exploration, imaginative venture into the future. This exercise aims to deepen our connection to our goals by envisioning their realized outcomes and the positive impact on various aspects of our lives. You can respond to the following questions in written form. Envision the realization of your goal. How does it positively impact your health? Consider specifics, such as physical well being, energy levels, and overall vitality. Explore the creative enhancements that come with achieving your goal. How does your imagination flourish? And what new ideas or projects do you engage in? Delve into the professional realm. What advancements or changes occur in your career? Are there promotions, new opportunities, or shifts in your profession? Imagine the financial outcomes of your achieved goal. How does it affect your income savings, investments, and overall financial stability? Consider the enjoyment in your life. What leisure activities or hobbies do you now have the time and resources to pursue? Explore the dynamics with your family. How does your relationship evolve? Are there newfound connections or shared experiences? How do your relationships with friends deepen or change in terms of romance? How does your relationship transform for the better? Close your eyes. Envision yourself on a magic carpet transporting you to the future where your goal has materialized. Feel the emotions, note the details and record the date when you arrive there. Was it a smooth, fast journey? If your goal were your inner child's dream, what action would you recommend to do to expedite progress? Identify an action or habit hindering your journey. What can you stop doing to free up time and energy? Craft a powerful phrase, affirmation or idea that motivates you towards your goal. Decorated, and place in your visual goal space for daily inspiration. 5. The Magical Wand: Today we explore the concept of a magical wand to broaden our perspective on our goals. Seeking inspiration and motivation across various life areas. If you possess a magical wand, which life area would you address first? This could be connected to your primary goal or extend into areas such as career, money, relationships, health, personal development, spirituality, or hobbies. If you could consult a renowned professional in this chosen area, what actions might they suggest? Write down these ideas to guide your approach. Imagine you already knew everything. Possessing abundant resources, Health, clear vision material and emotional support, and influential contacts. List two small steps you would take as a first move. If you could ask the magical one for one resource, what would it be? Reflect on where this resource already exists in your life and strategize how you can access it more effectively in the absence of a magical wand. Consider the minimum actions you can undertake this month. Outline three concrete steps towards your goal. If someone at a similar level sought your advice, what two recommendations would you give based on your experiences? Complete the sentence, I allow myself to, and that's why I choose.

Today we'll create a symbolic sculpture representing the resources at our disposal, encouraging a deeper awareness of our inner and outer strengths. Begin by reminding yourself of your goal.
