1. Manifestation
Manifestation is an energetic process of aligning with the universe to bring your goals and dreams to fruition. It works on the principle that energy attracts like, so focusing on things that bring joy will result in your desires becoming reality; conversely, negative emotions like fear or jealousy may manifest themselves if given too much attention.
One method for manifesting goals is sensory visualization, in which you sit quietly in a meditative state and imagine your desires in your mind’s eye. You could also write out your intentions or create a vision board as ways of getting clear about what you hope to achieve.
Inspiration and service should support the goals you desire; spirit will back them. However, it’s important to remain conscious of any limiting beliefs which could obstruct success, according to Bartz.
2. Visualization
Visualization is a technique in which one imagines their desired goal in vivid sensory details, so as to trick their brain into believing that goal has already come true – whether that goal be giving an impressive presentation or earning promotion at work.
Setting goals can be an excellent way of motivating you and building confidence that you will meet them, while simultaneously relieving stress. For instance, if you want to try skydiving for the first time, imagine yourself jumping out of an airplane and free falling.
Jim Carrey used visualizing himself parking on Mulholland Drive each night before becoming famous – even writing himself a check for $10 million to keep in his wallet (Dris, 2017). But visualization should never be considered an effective strategy on its own – you must incorporate goal setting and accountability as part of an integrated approach in order to move towards your desired goal successfully.
3. Affirmations
Affirmations can be an effective tool in breaking through negative core beliefs. Affirmations consist of positive statements repeated daily with the intent to help yourself believe them and bring them into your life.
Always aim to use future-focused affirmations – they tend to produce greater benefits in your brain than past-oriented statements. Affirmation cards can be found online and in books; alternatively you could even make your own if desired.
At their most effective, affirmations should be performed early morning or late evening before sleeping, when your subconscious mind is most open to receiving input. Add emotion when practicing affirmations – this makes them all the more effective! Additionally, keep a journal handy to record them all!
4. Goal Setting
An effective way to increase productivity is setting measurable and attainable goals, which will keep you on the path toward achievement while curbing procrastination and providing you with a clear picture of where you stand on your journey.
Studies have demonstrated that individuals with higher self-efficacy tend to engage in goal setting activities and experience success more quickly, persist through challenges and barriers more easily and persist through difficult circumstances more firmly than those without such high self-efficacy.
Goal setting should take into account core values such as integrity, responsibility, fairness and hope in order to be as effective as possible. Furthermore, creating a roadmap towards your desired results through breaking larger achievements into smaller steps is also vitally important.
5. Meditation
Meditation is a form of contemplation in which you focus your attention on something like breathing, an image or mantra (a repeated word or phrase), to relax both mind and body.
Studies have demonstrated the many benefits of meditation to your memory, concentration and overall mental wellbeing. Unfortunately there are no guaranteed results and it takes time to build a practice into your daily routine.
When your attention wanders, as it often does, simply bring it back to breathing. Keep in mind that success in meditation is measured not by how long one can sit still but whether greed, hatred, ill will and ignorance decrease – then you are succeeding! Group meditation provides support while building discipline – however you can practice alone too – just find a comfortable spot.
