How to Get What You Want Out of Life
Do you want to accomplish certain personal goals in life but you don't have the time, patience, or resources? Here are some suggestions to help you get started in getting what you want out of life.
Things You'll Need:
Create a plan
List your goals
Prioritize your goals
Determine the steps
Implement the steps
1
First, you need to create a plan for your life. Buy a journal and list four categories: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
2
Second, under each of the groups, list your goals or needs with whatever comes to mind. Don't think about it. Just write whatever comes naturally. Here is an example.
Physical
- Exercise every day
- Eat healthier
- Lose weight
Mental
- Read more books
- Do more crossword puzzles
- Look for another job
Emotional
- Re-think my relationship
- Get closer to my family
- Make new friends
Spiritual
- Heal myself
- Listen to my instincts
- Talk to my guardian angels
3
Third, prioritize your goals or needs for each category. Here is an example.
Physical
3 Exercise every day
2 Eat healthier
1 Lose weight
Now, circle the "number ones" in each category. These are your most important goals or needs in your life you need to focus on right now.
4
Fourth, you need to select one category and determine 3(or whatever number you want to use)steps necessary to accomplish this goal or need. Here is an example.
Physical
1 Lose weight
- quit eating at fast food restaurants
- eat whatever I'm eating but less of it
- write down everything I eat
5
Fifth, implement the steps by doing them for one week at a time until they become a habit.
