Ultimate Goal Setting Method: How to Effectively Plan & Achieve Your Goals

1. Introduction: Welcome to the ultimate goal setting workshop where you will learn how to effectively plan and achieve your goals. Do you have desires that you want to make your reality but you never know how to get there? Then this class is for you. My name is Georgia, and in this class, we will create an action plan for success in order to help you reach your goals. Including tools such as reflection visualization, habits, routines, and more. I have qualifications in psychology and health coaching along with a huge passion for self development, productivity, and mindset. I aim to help and inspire people to work on themselves and improve their lifestyles. I have been on my own personal growth journey and gone from struggling with mental health issues, feeling lost and lacking purpose, to owning my own business, Reaching my goals and being so clear on who I am and my purpose in life together. We can create your very own step by step guide for lasting change with my proven formula, leaving you feeling excited, motivated, and ready to start your self development journey. This class is for you if you often procrastinate instead of taking action. If you thrive on planning an organization, you will gain clarity on your goals. You will have the tools to make gradual and lasting change within your lifestyle. And by the end, you will leave feeling ready and motivated to start your journey. Once you have this method, you can use it again and again year after year to set and achieve new goals and continue up level in your life. Your project for this class will be to fill out the goal setting workbook that I have provided to create your very own action plan. So if you're ready and you're as excited as I am to achieve your goals, then let's begin. 2. Project Introduction: Your project for this course is to fill out this 16 page goal setting workbook which I have provided for you. You can download this PDF from the files and print it out for you to write on. I have printed mine in a four and had it bound, but you could print it in whatever way works for you. Each lesson in this course directly refers to a different page in the workbook. I will fully explain to you the questions and what you need to think about in order to answer them. I've chosen this project because I think it's the perfect way for you to understand all of these elements about you and what you are working towards. And it lays out the formula very clearly and gives you the opportunity to go back and forth on what you've written. Filling this out is the minimum that you can do for this project. There are several opportunities to get more creative, which I go into detail about throughout the course and at the end. In the next step section, all you will need is your printout and something to write with. Feel free to grab highlighters or colored pens to get more creative and to be able to differentiate areas and highlight important bits as well. Once you have completed your course and your project, you can upload a photo of your chosen section in the gallery. This could be a section that you directly want feedback on. For example, your action plan or a section that gives inspiration to myself and others, such as your life buckets or your routines and affirmations. It is completely up to you to get started. Simply begin your first lesson and we will follow along in the work group together. See you there. 3. Past Reflection: Welcome to your first lesson of the ultimate goal setting method. In this lesson, we will be looking at your past reflection. It is so important to reflect on the past in order to learn from it and move forward. We never want to look negatively on our past or something we've done or an experience. We just want to understand why we do things, how we can learn from them, and how we can make positive change for the future. In the workbook, you have two pages of reflection with six questions to fill out. I will just note that if you're on a reflective role, then absolutely grab yourself some more paper, get stuck into everything that's coming up for you. So let's walk through these questions together now. The first question is, what word would you use to describe this past year? It may take you a few minutes to think of an answer. It can be difficult to put so much time into just one word. However, I have included this section because I think it allows you to get a sense of what stood out to you the most over the past year. Maybe it was a certain feeling or an event. Perhaps you've had an overarching theme throughout the year or a specific adjective that can sum up what you've done. Whatever that word is for you is going to be great for comparison. It will help you visualize that key shift that you're going to make from the past year to the next year ahead. The second question is, what have you achieved over the past few months? This one is fairly self explanatory. Look back at any accomplishments and things that you've done over the past few months, simply so that you can recognize them, feel proud of them, and begin to grow from here. The third question on this page is what have you found difficult or struggled with? Looking at these questions are some of the most important. Understanding your weaknesses and where you struggle is how you can learn and grow from these experiences. You can use this to choose any areas that you want to strengthen or work on at a later point in the course. So anything that you've found difficult or struggled with over the past few months, write it down in this section. If you want to add anything extra about why, then absolutely go for it over on the next page. Our fourth question is, have you learned anything important over the last few months? Any lessons that have stood out to you, Whether that be educational lessons, life lessons, a conversation you had with someone, anything that's stuck out to you is important. Note it down here. The fifth question is, are you 100% happy in your life right now, or are there areas you would like to grow in? If so, what are they now? If you're 100% happy and perfect, then that's amazing. But I think most people will have areas for improvement, as do I. And that's why we're here, right? See if you can identify these specific areas that feel like they're lacking or need any extra work right now and write these down. The sixth and final question here is, did you set any goals at the beginning of the year that you have or haven't achieved and why? So this one is kind of split into two parts. If you set any goals at the beginning of this year, whether that was specifically written down or just in your head that you wanted to achieve. Take a moment to think about what these were and whether you have or haven't achieved them. And write these down and leave space next to each one. Then for each goal, I want you to ask yourself, why. Why did you achieve one goal versus not achieving the other? For example, why did you manage to get a promotion at work? Was it something you really wanted? Did you find it easy? Was it because someone was looking over you and so on compared to why did you not stick to the gym like you said you were going to? Is it because it was boring? Did you run out of motivation or did you find another exercise that you enjoyed more? I hope these examples make sense. This will help you to understand the difference here. Perhaps where your priorities lie or where your weaker areas are, or whether one specific theme keeps popping up throughout, such as lack of consistency. For example, once you've completed these two reflective pages, you've completed your first lesson. This first part is quite heavy going and you might feel tired or drained afterwards. So well done, It would be a good idea to allow yourself some chilled self care time after that one. And I look forward to seeing you again in lesson two. 4. Letting Go: Welcome back to lesson two, where we will be delving into letting go of things that are no longer serving us well. To figure out what these things are, you can refer to your previous answers of the past reflection on questions three and question five, and also think about the following questions. Has anything been holding you back recently? What habits would you like to break? What do you do that drains your energy and doesn't make you feel good? Do you have any persistent negative thought patterns that you want to change? I will give you some examples from when I filled out my page. I said that my self doubts hold me back going on my phone too much drains my energy, and I would like to break the habit of scrolling on my phone before bed. I can have negative thought patterns about the way I look. And I have beliefs around your personal value coming from the way you look, which I am working to change. I put a lot of pressure on myself sometimes and sitting inside all day can make me really grumpy. So this is your page to mind, map all of these different things or number them in a list, whatever works best for you. This can be a really hard task to do. And some things might come up quickly and others might take a bit longer. But once you've written some of these things down, in the next lesson we'll begin to look at how we can change these. And this is not going to be a linear journey, and that's okay. Beginning the process now and putting things in place for when you're struggling is exactly how you're going to begin the change on this journey. For now, I want you to just close your eyes and have a think about the questions I'm about to ask. I want you to acknowledge these thoughts and feelings that you've had. Think about why you may have been feeling like this. Where these feelings may have come from. Do you think that thinking this way has helped you towards your goals or has it moved you away from them? Thank yourself for trying to protect you or for trying to help you get through a situation, or for taking on this belief from someone else. Say that this has served you well. But it's now time to let go of it because it's holding you back and you're ready to move on and believe something new. Well done, you have finished lesson to. Looking at your past, your weaknesses, your struggles and things that are holding you back can be super heavy going again. So amazing work. We have now finished these more difficult lessons and are moving into more future goal focused sessions. From now on, we will see you in less than three. 5. Rewriting Your Story: Welcome back to lesson three of the Ultimate Goal Setting workshop. This lesson is all about rewriting your story. Looking back on what we uncovered from last lesson around things that are not serving us well, we're now going to transform this into things that will be serving us well. Once you've completed this page, it's going to be full of all the things that boost your mood. How to get out of slumps and bad mindsets and more. It's going to be a great one to refer to. I will use three of my examples from the last lesson to show you how you can find these solutions yourself. Number one is changing the habit of scrolling on my phone before bed instead of scrolling on my phone. I recently got a Kindle I'm planning to read instead, and I'm so excited to read the new books I've downloaded on there. I will ensure that before I even get into bed, I've done everything on my phone that I need to do. There is no need to even go on it. I will also keep a note pad and pen next to my bed. So if I randomly think of anything and if any ideas pop into my head, which does happen, I usually drop them down on my phone. I can then write them down instead. In the long term, I would also like to get an alarm clock, so I don't even need to sleep with my phone in the same room at all. Number two is sitting inside all day makes me grumpy. When I'm planning my day, I ensure that I add in any breaks, some walk, some exercise to get myself up moving and to have some time outside. If I have lots of long days of work planned for the week, then I want to make sure at least twice during the week that I change my working location. Whether I go to a cafe or a restaurant, changing up really helps my mindset. If I have spent lots of time inside and I know that I'm not really feeling great by the end of the day. I know that taking myself out on a short walk around the park always makes me feel better. I set myself a ten minute minimum and I usually end up staying out longer because I'm enjoying it so much. Number three is my negative thoughts around self doubt. The way I look, relating this to myself worth I will take this day by day. If I'm having a good day, then I roll with that. Remind myself of the things I love, the things I enjoy dressing in a confident way, all these things to boost my mood. I'm having more of a bad body image day. I can still dress in a way that makes me feel good, but it might look a bit different to the previous day. I will make sure to write things down or tell myself things I love about myself and stick them around my mirror to promote positive thinking rather than automatically slipping into negative thinking. If I'm feeling nervous about meeting new people or not feeling great about myself, I've got a list of affirmations. I say to myself to hype myself up, for example, you are strong, you are confident. You are an amazing friend. Your hair looks so good today are just as worthy as everyone else. You have got this act confident and no one will question you. Do you see how much detail I've put into my answers here? Again, if you need more paper here, go for it. Spend a good amount of time on each thing that you wrote on the previous page, finding realistic solutions for these. If you're unsure on ideas on how to change this look elsewhere, use Google. You can just type in how to change a certain behavioral thought pattern and you might get some new ideas to ones that you've already thought of. Ask friends and family, other people may see things differently and give you new ideas. One last thing I want to address is a super common way of thinking is all or nothing thinking. For me this could be once I've set myself my goal of not going on my phone before bed. As soon as I do that one time, I'll think I've failed and I'll give up. Or you miss a day of gym where you have a sofa day. Then you've failed your goal. This is so not true. If you do think like that, then you need to add it to your previous letting go page because it's not going to serve you well going forward at all. You are going to rewrite this and you're going to say that if you have one bad day or something doesn't go quite as planned or you go back to your old habit for a day that is okay and I can't stress this enough and it's completely normal. I will add. It is how you come back from this which makes all of the difference. So you can write down what you'll do. Maybe you'll remind yourself of why you started or read through this workbook again. Maybe you need to make the habit, you're swapping. More exciting so you get a new book or take yourself out somewhere different or put your favorite music on or ask a friend to join you. There is always a solution and never a reason to give up. You have so got this amazing work in lesson three, and I will see you again in lesson four. 6. Life Buckets: Welcome back to lesson four, and today we are looking at our life buckets. You're probably thinking, what the hell is a life bucket? And that is what I'm here to tell you today. I first heard about this technique on Georgie Stephenson's podcast, and I loved it. So the idea is that you give a bucket to each area of your life that you prioritize and value. For example, mine would be friends, family, boyfriend, travel, nutrition, fitness, mental health, finance, and career. Once you've decided what they are, you can refer to your buckets and regularly check in with them. Perhaps something doesn't feel quite right, you're not feeling fulfilled, you're feeling unhappy and can't work out why you refer to your buckets, you will assess which ones you think are full right now and which ones are empty or lacking. Which have you been putting all of your energy into recently and which have you been neglecting from this, You can spend some time refilling that bucket and refilling that area of your life. For example, say that I'm really low on energy this week and I don't know why I've been exercising. I've been spending time with others and traveling. Actually, I realize that I've been eating out loads. I'm traveling and I'm seeing friends. I haven't been in my usual nutrition routine, and this might have thrown me off a little bit. Now I know that I need to focus on bringing my bucket of nutrition back up for the next week. Now it's your turn. Write out what your buckets are. Feel free to color them in and make them pretty. You can stick this page up in your house to make sure that you regularly check in with them or create your own poster of your buckets to have up in your room and make it your own. Having it somewhere where you can see it regularly will keep it fresh in your mind and remind you to check in. Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this lesson and some more creative freedom in a task. See you in lesson five. 7. Big Life Goals: Welcome back to lesson five, where we are going to look at understanding your big life goals. For this lesson, we're going to do a visualization. I believe these are so powerful and can truly help you feel into your goals and realistically visualize what you want for your future. This can work really well if you get comfy, close your eyes. Perhaps dim your lights to really feel that relaxation and calm while we do this. But please do whatever you feel comfortable with. So let's begin. Close your eyes, breathe in slowly, and let your breath out slowly, again, in and out again, even more slowly, in and out. Try to imagine that your stresses, your anxieties, your deadlines are rolling off of your head, down your shoulders, down your arms and falling away to the floor. Find a calm center inside yourself. Keep your eyes closed and breathe in and out. You are in a forest. Walking along a cobbled path amongst the greenery and tall trees, you come to a clearing where the path forks into two different directions. You take the left handed path and begin walking. This left path is leading you to a version of your future self in one year's time, where you haven't reached your goals. You haven't invested time and effort into yourself. You haven't stuck to your plans. You have done the thing that you always do and set your new, your goals and not done anything about it. How do you feel about this version of yourself? What do you wish you had done? What do you look like? Where are you? I'm going to give you a few moments to continue thinking about this version of you. Now you don't like what you see on this path. You walk back to the clearing in the forest. This time you take the right hand path and start walking. This right hand path is leading you to a different version of the future you in one year's time. Who has reached the goals you set out to even more? You put the time into yourself. You understood your priorities. You have transformed. You have progressed, and you're feeling amazing. What is it that you have achieved? Where are you now? What do you look like? How do you feel? I'm going to give you a few seconds to continue thinking about this version of you, Okay? Now, when you feel ready, slowly open your eyes and come back to the room. If you want more time here to visualize, feel free to continue playing some relaxing music or rewind it and listen to the visualization. Again, I showed you two different versions of yourself here to help you realize what it would feel like if you went down both different paths. This can really help you to feel motivated and capable of what you're wanting to achieve. I would imagine that your mind was filled with lots of different images and feelings during this time. Now I want you to use the big life goals page in your workbook to mind. Map all of these things down, what you want to be doing, what you want to achieve, what you look like, what habits you have, what your day looks like, what people do you have around you? Where are you living, where are you working, what's your financial situation like, and everything in between. Feel free to dream big here. I hope you feel a lot clearer on your goals and your future after that. Visualization can be an incredible tool to motivate you to boost your mind and positive vibes and remind you of why you're doing something. You could do this every night before you go to bed or as you wake up in the morning or once a week on a Sunday before you start a new week. Or just whenever you need to pick me up, use it to benefit you and your lifestyle. Well done on lesson five, and I will see you in the next one to understand how we're going to get you to these goals. 8. Action Plan: Welcome back to lesson six. In this lesson, we're going to create an action plan for those goals that we wanted to reach from lesson five. We now know what your big life goals are. We know where you're working towards. If you always have that future visualization in your head and you believe it, then you know where you're headed. But now we're going to look at the next year ahead. We're going to split your goals into three month sections throughout the year. You can split your goals up by how long you think they may take, when you want them achieved by, or in order of what you want to focus on first. So we have a zero to three month plan, a four to six month plan, a seven to nine month plan, and a ten to 12 month plan. Step one of this process is to put each goals deadline into one of the sections. Perhaps you have all year to complete some things, whereas other things may have an earlier deadline. For example, say that you have a financial savings goal of 5,000 pounds for one year's time. This can go in the ten to 12 month section. You also have a marathon that you're running in six months time. The deadline for this needs to go in the four to six month section. If you want to split each section up into three like I've done to represent each individual month, absolutely, go for it. You can get even more specific with your deadlines this way. Once you've done this with all of your goals, it's now time for step two. You can't just rock up at the deadline, unfortunately, and achieve your goal. You have to put the work in first. We need to work backwards from the goal and put a plan in place in the months prior in order to achieve it. Let's go back to those same examples. If you want to save 5,000 pounds by the end of the 12 months, this means that you need to save around 416 pounds every single month. To get to that goal. In each month section, you need to write, save 416 pounds as part of your action plan. Then you have a marathon in six months time. How much training time do you need? Let's say three months. For the three months before your deadline, you need to write start your marathon training plan. That might be three runs a week. And then you have to implement that into each month, into each week section to complete those runs as part of your action plan in order to achieve that goal. And you want to do this for every single one of your goals, the more detail, the more specific you can get, the better. Here again, if you want to map it out in a different way, stick a big post wrap on your wall. By all means, use this workbook as a plan and create your own version in whatever way works for you. Now, I just want to say, although we've created a timeline for your goals, I want to relieve any of the time pressure. If we put pressure on ourselves, it can generally change our feelings around the goal and move us into more of a negative mindset around it. And will affect the way we achieve it and whether we achieve it at all. This is a rough no problem with it taking longer time or shorter time when life gets in the way or even if you change your mind on a goal as it's not working for you anymore or your situations changed, you can swap it for something else. The idea is that you know what you're working towards, that you're heading in that forward moving direction. You have the right mindset for this and that. You now have these tools that you can apply to any further goals that you may set. Well done for completing lesson six. This is a huge section with lows to think about and organize great work. I will look forward to seeing you in lesson seven. 9. Routines: Welcome back to lesson seven, where we're going to look at your day to day routines. When we are looking at making changes to our everyday lives and upleveling ourselves, it is extremely likely that we then need to change the way we live our everyday lives in order to achieve that change. Because if we want a different outcome, we have to act differently to get there. Routines are great to give your life structure and productivity. We want to add routines in that are in alignment to our future goals. And where we're headed towards, obviously, everyone's routines are going to look different depending on age, family, work, things that make you happy and everything like that. We're specifically going to look at morning and nighttime routines here. Just have to think about what you currently do in the morning and in the evening. Are these routines serving you well? Do they set you up for the day and then to have a good sleep at night? Or do you think they're making this harder for you? Think about what might be more beneficial for you to do during these times. It might be something that you've previously highlighted on a page in the workbook. Now very few of us will have hours to spend going through a long list of morning and night rituals every single day. You do need to make this realistic to your own situation commitments, lifestyle, and understanding of yourself. But also incorporating your future visualization and where you see yourself in one year's time. Thinking about what this version of you does in their mornings and evenings and finding a balance between the two. Feel free to research different ideas of what sets you up well for your day and what things will be beneficial to you. Perhaps it's about getting yourself into that positive mindset ready for the day in the morning. This could be through mood boosting music or a motivational podcast. Maybe you get some exercise done in your morning or change up your breakfast or spend 5 minutes journaling in the evening. Maybe you want to have a bath a few times a week or read before bed. You could get into a better evening routine of skin care or making a plan for your next day. This is completely individual and up to you. Make sure you gather all those different ideas. Think about how often you want to do them throughout the week and how beneficial those different things are going to be to you. An important thing to remember here is if you stack up loads of different things that you want to try and do, if you suddenly try and do them all in one day, it's probably going to be an unrealistic thing to achieve and keep up, therefore making small changes or telling yourself you're just going to do one at a time and get used to that first before starting another one is a really healthy and beneficial way of looking at it. Well done for lesson seven. I look forward to seeing you in the next one. 10. Reset Checklist: Welcome back to lesson eight, where we are looking at our reset checklists. This page of the workbook is your checklist to refer to when you need to organize your space and mind, ready for a new month. It is completely up to you and your lifestyle, whether you want to make this a Sunday reset, which you repeat every week, or a monthly reset, which you do once a month, and anything in between. Or maybe you have two different ones where there's one smaller one that you repeat every week and a bigger more in depth one that you repeat every month. If this is the case, then simply use a highlighter or a symbol to indicate which steps are for your weekly and which steps are for your monthly checklist and which are for both. The purpose of this is to bring in regular check ins where you can keep yourself on track and get your body and mind prepare for a new week in order to keep you on the path to achieving your goals. I don't know about you, but by the end of the week, my home can be a bit messy. My mind can be all over the place. I'm feeling a bit tired and I might be feeling a bit overwhelmed. This check in allows you to get all of that stuff in, check and reset your mind and space so that you feel positive for a new week rather than stress and exhausted. So here are some examples for the reflection section. Feel free to ask similar questions that were in the past reflection section of this workbook. Things like what has gone well this week or this month? What are things that I want to work on? What's your focus for the next month and how are you going to work on that? Your todos could be things like washing the bedding, doing a face mask, tidying your home, and your week ahead. Prep could be things like writing out a plan for the week. Slotting in things like your work, your habits, your exercise, your plans. And then there is another section for anything else that you have in mind. Maybe you want to take yourself out on a solo date once a month or get your nails done. Anything that resonates with you fits in with your lifestyle and your goals and is something that you genuinely want to implement. Put down here, well done on lesson eight. I hope this one's got you even more clear on your routines and daily rituals. I can't wait to see you for lesson nine. 11. Affirmations: Welcome back to lesson nine, where we will be looking at affirmations to help us reach our goals. If you don't know what affirmations are, they are a way of positive thinking and self empowerment. Now, it is proven in countless studies that your thoughts and attitudes will impact your life and the way you live it, the way you think and talk to yourself will be what you see and how your life ends up. I know it won't be everyone's thing to sit and say affirmations to themselves in the mirror. If you're new to this, it can feel very weird. But they can also be a way of prepping yourself if you're feeling nervous, as I previously said in one of the lessons. Or a way of hyping yourself up if you're feeling down, or a way of building your confidence if you're lacking it in the moment. The more you tell yourself positive things and change your negative ways of thinking, the more your life will transform. You can also refer to the rewriting your story page of the workbook to see what negative thoughts you want to change and add into your affirmations. You can also write affirmations based on your goals. For example, I am in control of my emotions. I am open to new and exciting opportunities. I am grateful for the money I have and I'm worthy of the money that I desire. I can do hard things. I embrace the uncomfortable and so on. Also, use the Internet here. Type in affirmations four and insert your goal here. You'll get loads of different ones come up. There is also space to write your new word of the year at the bottom of your page. Refer to the word you used to describe your previous year on the past reflections page. And compare this to your visualization of the next year. To come up with your new word, you can have your affirmations listed on your phone or next to your bed. You could pick a few to say every morning or in the moment when you need to embody a certain feeling. I find that they come in handy in those moments. Especially, I use them when I need to build my confidence for meeting new people. Or if I'm doubting myself or I have to talk in front of people, I need to hype myself up. I can shift my mood by saying the appropriate affirmations and they really are that powerful. And I know that you can use them to do the same. Well done for completing less than nine. I will see you in the next one. 12. Next Level Self: Welcome back to lesson Ten, Becoming Your Next Level Self. This next step is about actually becoming this version of yourself. It is all well and good, just saying and thinking who you want to be, what goals and routines you want to have. But if you don't actually step into this, make the changes, start this process, then nothing's going to happen. I want you to really think about who this person is and how you're going to step into them. What additions and changes are you going to make right now? How are you going to become this person that you visualize? What energy vibe does this person feel? Who is this next level version of you? And how can you start being them now instead of the big life goals mind map where we were looking at the version of you for five years time. This next level self in you need to step into right now. And specifically looking at the next one year like we focused on in the action plan. Jot down some ideas for this. Here you may be repeating some of the things that you've already written on other pages, but that's okay. All of this is helping you to understand every aspect of what you have to do right now, how you're going to get there, and how this energy feels for you, and really cementing this in your mind. Lots of this section can be about the feeling and the vibes of what you're stepping into. Quite often the version of ourselves that we're at now compared to where we want to be, can be a huge dump in just the general way we live our lives. Actually practically making these changes can be a really long process, but all of these tools we're looking at are going to help you get there. Having these constant reminders in your life, whether that's things on your phone, up on your wall, pictures, words, affirmations, routines, they're all going to be those general reminders that are going to help keep that ticking in your brain. It's when you forget about these things that it makes it harder to step into that next level of view. And you have to do all of that work. Again, constantly in the forefront of your mind is exactly how you're going to get there. Stepping into this now, implementing all of these little things, now preparing all of these things on your phone in your everyday life that you're going to see frequently. Those are the things you need to do right now in order to start stepping into that and begin that journey onwards and upwards. Well done on completing lesson ten. I look forward to seeing you again in Lesson 11. 13. Habits: Welcome back to Lesson 11, Creating Your Habits. Here we want you to collate all of the changes throughout your workbook into daily habits that are going to get you to reach your goals. Flick back through your workbook and add in the things that you've written from your previous pages. What habits did you write that you wanted to change on the rewriting your story page? Maybe you want to check in on your life buckets once a week. What morning and night habits do you need to implement and what do you need to do to get to your big life goals that are on your action plan? Write down the habit that you need to do and how often you need to do it. Is it daily, three times a week, once a week? The key is finding the balance to make this realistic for your lifestyle, as well as productive to help you reach your goals. If you have lots of new habits on here, I want to be clear that trying to do all of this at once is probably not going to work as it's going to be too much change all in one go. What you need to do here is put them into different priorities, similar to what we did by staggering the goals in the action plan. Perhaps some of them are smaller and easier than others. Some you may need to start right away in order to get you to an earlier goal. For others, you might have more time. Use highlighters or symbols to group your habits. For ones that you need to start now, one that you need to start in a month's time, so on throughout the year. You then need to have a tool to track these habits. Are you a pen and paper person or are you an online person? There are so many different apps you can download to track your habits. Or you can draw yourself a tracking table or print off a template or purchase a habit tracker booklet. You can add your habits that you're starting first into your first month's tracker and start from there. Remember to change them and add in the new ones every month in order to stick to your plan. Fur back to this page each month when you're writing your new habit tracker out. Reminders on your phone work great for reminding you to do things like this. Well, done on completing lesson 11. Amazing work. You only have one final lesson until you've completed the course. I'll see you there. 14. Next Steps: Welcome to Lesson 12, the final lesson in this course. We're looking at your next steps you have worked through and written out so much information about what you have to do to reach your goals, which is incredible. And you should be super proud of yourself for making it all the way to this point. However, now is the hard bit. Now you have to put all of the hard work in to make this happen, but the good news is you have all of the tools and information you need within this booklet to refer to any time. Here are a few things that I strongly recommend within your everyday life that are going to help you to implement these new changes. First is a planner or a journal, whether this is digital or physical, whatever works best for you. But something that you can plan your days, weeks, months in that you can refer to with to do list. You can write your reflections in cross off your resets and to generally keep you on track. You can embed your action plan into this and write out what you need to be doing every single month. Second is a habit tracker. I mentioned this before, but again, whether you want to implement this into your journal or have it on a whole separate thing, digital or physical, whatever works best for you. But you will need to be tracking your habits every single day in order to keep on top of reaching these goals. An optional tool is the Vision board. This can be a super fun, creative activity that can serve as a visualization tool as well. You can look at it every day to remind you of your goals and keep these images fresh in your mind. Finally, is an accountability buddy. If you have any friends or family that a re on a similar journey to you, then get them involved, get them to complete this course and you can keep each other accountable. No worries. If you don't have anyone to do this with, as you have enough, check in tools of your own to keep yourself on track, but it can just be an extra help. Finally, your project upload. To complete this course, I want you to upload a photo of one of the pages from your workbook. This is completely your choice, but here are some ideas. It could be the colorful and creative life buckets page that you made or your affirmations can be really great for others to see and get inspired. Or your action plan, if you'd like feedback on the timeline that you've chosen, whatever it is, I would love to see what you've got up to for your project on this course. 15. Conclusion: Congratulations on completing this course. You have done amazing. I hope you feel motivated and inspired to get going on your journey. If you're ever in doubt, then refer back to your workbook. You can redo some of the activities and it will get you right back into the zone. We have covered your past reflection, letting go of the negativity and unhelpful behaviors and reframing these into positive and beneficial changes. We have created your life buckets and understood what means the most to you. We have visualized your future and created an action plan for your goals. Over the next year, you have designed your own routines, reset checklists, affirmations and habits, as well as jumped into your next level self. You have done a huge amount of work and you should be very proud. I look forward to seeing your project uploads to complete the course.
