Creating
Your Target is easy
What
I use to help create these targets is what I call SMARTS targets
SMARTS stands for:
Simple,
Sensory and Specific
Measurable and Meaningful
As If Now
Realistic
Time Framed
Smiley Factor
Some
more about what these all mean:
"S":
Simple is exactly that. Simple. Do not make it too complicated,
or long and drawn out. Most people should be able to understand
what it is. If it is a goal around some specific field, most of
your colleagues should be able to understand your target.
"S":
Sensory involves all of your senses. You use your sense of vision.
You hear things in this picture and movie. You smell things in
your movie of your target. You feel things, both with your hands
and with your emotions. In your picture, you have the internal
voice in your head that you always have. You put all of these
different senses into your picture, as well as the most important
one, the inner knowing of your heart brain. Make sure to get that
in the picture or movie as well.
"S":
Specific. This is best illustrated with an example. I have moved
many times in my life. Every time I moved, I created a list of
what I want. And every time there was a fireplace on that list.
The first time, I was looking at a place that had everything I
wanted but a fireplace. I mentioned this to the landlord and she
laughed. She took me into the unfinished basement, and there was
a plastic fireplace in the basement. I learned from this, and
when I was looking for the next place I put a real fireplace on
my list. I found a place that had everything except a fireplace.
I said this to the landlord and he said that there was a fireplace.
It was just boarded up behind the wall. The next place I moved
into, I put a real working fireplace on the list of what I wanted.
I found a place with a real working fireplace this time, but the
landlord would not let me use it. So finally I put on my list
"a real working fireplace I can use." And the next time, I got
it. You need to be specific.
"M":
Measurable. There must be some specific way in which you measure
the results, a quantifiable way that you know the goal is achieved.
"M":
Meaningful. The target, the goal must be meaningful to you. It
must be something you want and desire. If it means nothing to
you, there will be no reason to keep going for it. It does not
work to have it be something that someone else wants for you.
"A":
As If Now. Write your movie in the present tense, as if you are
describing a situation that is happening now. Tomorrow never comes.
It is like the sign "Free money tomorrow." You come back the next
day and the sign still says, "Free money tomorrow." Tomorrow never
comes. If you write your goals in the future, the future never
comes.
"R":
Realistic. Your target must be believable to you. If you do not
think you can attain it, chances are you probably will not attain
it. Now, this means two things. One, if you have a faulty belief
system about what you can and cannot do and you want to change
it, you might want to try my CDs. Two, "realistic" is different
for everyone. For some, making a million dollars in one year is
totally attainable. For others, it is not. Make sure your target
is realistic to you.
"T":
Time Framed. Put a definite date on your target. Put the date
as if today is the date, and write your goal with that date now.
This is similar to As If Now, but with an actual date or time
frame.
"S":
Smiley Factor. Make sure that you are smiling and happy in the
picture, that your goal includes your being happy. Here is an
example of why: You have a goal to be in Italy within five years,
but no smiley factor. You get some rare cancer that the only know
treatment for is in Italy, and you have to fly there to get your
cancer treated. This is not what you want.
Make
sure you do not have negatives in your goals. It is not good to
say something like "no more pain," because remember, what you
focus on is what you get. So if you are focusing on "no pain",
"pain" is actually what you are focusing on. If you don't want
this or that, you have to put it in your target as a positive.
Like if the pain were gone, what would be there? You might be
feeling great, or have free movement in your neck or whatever.
Just make sure you put all the things you don't want in terms
of what you would have when they were gone, so you can focus on
what you want, because that is what you will get.
