Goal Setting

Goals: What’s Your Theme

by Lloyd christie

 Theme’s give your goals vitality

A goal is nothing more then an idea of how an activity or a action will take place. The theme is the idea in action. Take football for example or soccer as it is called in some of the more stranger part of the world. When football was created the idea was to kick the ball in the back of the net.

The idea or plan to get the ball in the back of the net became the theme. Rule‘s of football, you can use any part of your body apart from your hands to get the ball from one end of the pitch to the other, kicking it was the most effective method, hence the name football my American friends. Anyway Know matter what happens on the pitch the theme remains constant, the ball has to be played from one end of the pitch to the other without picking up the ball or hurting anyone, that’s something my american’s friends need to bear in mind, that being said, Fouls and injuries, streakers and flasher and other interruptions happen from time to time, but there are only momentary Interruptions, The game goes on because the theme remains constant, get the ball at the back of the net!

Key Point’s

  • Things don’t always go to plan
  • If you find you self off plan or distracted from your goals simply get back on theme
  • It helps to remember the theme of your goals

Football the greatest game in the world

Football is a great analogy for living, because life demands that we stay on the ball, Even with our most basic goals. But some time’s there are interruptions on the pitch like the odd flasher or striker – you may momentarily shop and stare at the tits and ass running across the pitch or play your ball off side, or even score an own goal (messed up), you may be stunned to hell at some flasher’s meat and two veg. What ever happen’s you have to remember the goal – the game must go on. You know the theme; is to score goals – by working within the frame work of the rule’s or law and your highest values.

They say just showing up = 80 percent  psychological drive, 20 percent mechanics, that mean 80 percent of a goal success is based on our mental theme.

You can think of a goal as theme which is a set of ideas in your minds eye, hopefully it is written down too. You may be aware of it physically as day dreams or random thoughts implus. You may feel it and as a sense that frame’s and colours your awareness. You can appreciate this when you think back to a time when you, was really excited about something it really coloured your awareness, this may have been a wonderful idea that came to mind a new job or the feeling of being on holiday in a new and different environment, this experience became a theme.

Maintaining themes and setting Goals

Over the last 3 weeks or so I’ve been off course with my blogging or better still – off theme. That’s because I did not have my blogging goals in the for fount of my mind – I took my eye off the ball (it was a flasher) I failed to daily check in with my goals and set new goals. Sometime’s we play the ball of pitch – but I’m not going to cry about it, like one of these’s weird football fan – atic’s who burst out crying when their team loser’s, those guy’s need Jesus, if Jesus can’t help personal development is a good idea…

Seven Reiterations to keep on Theme

  1. The devil make’s work for ideal hand – there are so many fun and important things to do other then what know you should be doing/ working on your long term and short term goals
  2. Read goals daily
  3. Set goal daily – this is how you build you theme and keep it in mind
  4. Work within defined time’s – give yourself a time to accomplish a task and work like and run with your allotted time and like a streaker to accomplish your goals
  5. Choose today what god you will serve – Every moment of the week/mouth is full of completing themes – choose your dominate theme.
  6. If you don’t have a plan for your time then someone else does
  7. Planning ahead is the key and sticking to the plan is the only way to get the ball forward.

and KEEP ON THEME LIKE M.A.D

  • What Theme’s do you need to keep on track with, Personally my major theme is to meet my blogging  and speaking goals – What’s your Theme –  When you’ve got your theme, “RUN” for your goal like a streaker :)

The Principle Of Rhythm… Renewing Your Vision

by Lloyd christie

“Everything flow in and out everything has its tide’s …This is the  principle of rhythm”

Ok earlier this week… my big mission has been to get my mind re-orientated after a good two months or so of solid work.  Ive had  a clear vision and three weeks of chillaxing.  I find it is time now to re-new my vision.

I reviewed my goals and notes and I also put pen to paper to do a writing exercise to clear my mind and gain clarity of thought and that I did. I managed to gain a deeper clarity and over standing about where I am at in relation to my goals, vision and current position.

You’ve heard it before…the mind body and spirit connection

Well the first thing I realised is that I need a detox. I ve learnt that cleansing the body has a great impact on the mind and I find it helps speed up the renewal process.

When the mind is jumbled go back to square one “The body”

You can use the body to effect change in the mind, this works both ways, all you need to no is how… My two day detox consists of my regular musesli breakfast in the morning and though out the day a juice made from cucumber mixed with barley grass and ginger. It may not sound or look too tasty but I think it’s actually quite nice and refreshing.  To generalise green things have a cooling effect on the mind and body and spirit a result of the alkaline properties in the greens which helps to cancel out some of the acidity, caused by a bad diet and stress etc

This is going to be a quick short sharp detox/ to get my mind into gear and my will power super charged. There’ll be many positive side effects  of my fast, which include challenging the emotions and desires which need to be pulled in line every now and again. Denying the emotions and desires has a stretching effect on the personality, aiding discipline giving one a greater sense of personal resolve. The benefits will extend into many other areas of my life.

The Reorganization and review of files and plans for world domination  ; )

Clean up Time

After a review looking at my paper work I see that I can further increase my results and productivity by bettering my organisation.

I find the need for more structure and organisation in the bureaucratic side of my work, so the need for greater organisation been added as a continual target. I had too many files and note books with duplicate topics spread between them, this is mainly because I am always on the move from location to location working in different places.

Finding Balance

Over the Last three weeks I’ve been a bit lax in my work and on my discipline. I found that my productively have slipped…  I’ve been taking it a little too easy.  Being too relaxed has had a knock on affect on my routine…  I can’t have that…  So this week I’m going to be working on my discipline levels.

I have been attempting to change my attitude towards self discipline,  I have not been so hard  on myself … this little experiment has left me feeling very relaxed in fact I feel brilliant.  But I need to find a happy balance between chilllaxing and being productively disciplined.

I find a definite need for a solid structure to navigate but not so rigid that it destroys spontaneity before it’s born…. but anyway the last time I reorganized in terms of laying out a clear imprint of my vision and detailed review of my paper work was at least three months ago. It would seem that this is the beginning of a new season in the evolution of me. I Find that with the passing of time and goals the next level can seem some what cloudy; this is a sign of the final stages of decay of the old mental conditioning and feelings.

Time for a new…

Renewing mental and emotional conditioning on my ongoing personal development journey I have realised  the importance of a periodical renew process to  update ones mental image and conditioning to reflects the changing circumstances and feeling.

It’s like touching base with yourself.     I’ve become aware that when I get to a stage where I’ve cleared a benchmark or goal I lose a little clarity because for that period I was so focused on clearing the benchmark or goal. So I’ve now learnt to stop and lift my head above the water (get a clear view of where I’m going and where am at).

Lifting your Head above water

So I’ve found that it’s that time of the season where I need to get back to the mind and imprint a clear picture of where I’m going in my minds eye. This is not just about a mental picture it’s a feeling.  Feelings are the life of the party.   Feeling can be manifested by visualizing, talking and writing .

In general exposing yourself to areas related to your goals such as joining the appropriate clubs, exposing your self to inspirational people connected to or related to your goal, people that you can find a mutually energizing relationship with and amplify the spirit of your work.

The above is all about creating feeling which can be directed towards setting the scene to the attainment of goal. This I believe is the key to self conditioning and motivation, it’s the ability to direct and inject energy and purpose into your spirit.

The Principal of Rhythm

Everything flows in and out, everything has its tide’s, all things rise and fall, the pendulum swing manifests in everything, the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left – rhythm compensates

Yes this principle explains that life moves through stages or to put it better life is circular or spiral in nature. All things move through seasons and the seasons themselves are growing and evolving, moving through cycles and spirals slowly changing degree, this is something I learn from in order to gain a better over standing of my own routines, patterns.

At the beginning of the season your vision is green and rich full of life it’s fruitful and as the season moves into the next stage there is a process of change  At the point of mental change, renew the land/mind like a farmer after the harvest and prepare the mind the next stage of cultivation.
