So now you have the right mindset because you did a lot of gratefulness. And now, you are really aware of what's happening in your life. So now you are in the right place to start setting goals. I hope you were able to do all the exercises that we have included in the in the last step. If you haven't, please go back and try to do them because doing that is going to help you set very amazing unintentional goals. So now it's time to use the template that we have the lifestyle design template, by now you have every ingredient and you have rated how you feel about body mind family from zero to 1010.

Being I feel great, zero being I feel horrible. So you have those scores in there. And now it's time to set those goals. And it's like what do you want to do? What do you want to change? And then I have a few examples here.

These are our own creations, some of them so I As you can see here, this was done in Friday, January 20 2017. And this was Samantha's. So in our case, we do them together, we find that doing it with someone else is more powerful, because the other person is asking you the questions, and they are writing all the answers for you. So you just have to think and then you don't have to take care of like doing all the work. If you are alone, you can always do it. As Samantha was saying, setting a nice environment is very nice.

Sometimes we also go somewhere sometimes if we are traveling, we try to go to a nice corner, a nice cafe, a place that you where you feel well, and a place where you feel inspired. It doesn't matter what it is, it could be in your house, or could be whatever you feel well and inspired. So as you can see here we have the headings. In this case, we didn't use a template. Do you don't have to if you have a piece of paper or you want to be more artistic, please do. This is your creation and your rules all the time.

Get ideas to help you guide you through the process. So as you see, we have family, we have mine, we have all the headings. And then below we have a few goals, we recommend not to write a lot, because just be realistic about how much you can get done. You can do a creation as often as you want. Sometimes we do it every month, sometimes every three months, sometimes every year. So it depends how you are feeling.

We go back to are you feeling frustrated? Are you feeling kind of unbalanced. If that's the case, that's a great time for you to do a creation. If you're feeling great, you can go longer without doing it because your life is kind of working. And you are already doing what makes you feel well. This is my example.

For example, I'm not as artistic as Samantha is, as you can see, I'm more like basic, but again, I just have the headings there and I just brought the things that I wanted to do in every ingredient so you can read some of them. Feel free to pause This is my creation. So they may not make sense to you. But you get the idea, we recommend to have around three, three to five calls on each section is enough. If you're feeling well in one section, and you just think you know what, I'm feeling really good about my body, I'm feeling really good about my mind, but I'm struggling with work, maybe your energy and time needs to be focused on work. But remember, don't neglect the rest.

Make sure that you are still maintaining the rest and just work on the ones that you are not feeling great about. This is another example from Samantha. She even like, has like a little album. It's very nice. So these are just ideas on on ways to do this. When you're setting goals, we follow a system that is called called Smart, smart.

S is for specific M is for measurable, A is for attainable, are for relevant and T for time bound. This system was created in the 80s by George Duran. And we always follow the system because we believe he's very brilliant. And it does work. We have used this with hundreds of clients. And it always works.

Because it forces you to be specific to be able to measure it. Something that is attainable, that you can do something that is relevant and important for you. And they have to have a deadline. Because if you don't have a deadline, it's very easy to procrastinate. When we have a deadline, and it's in our calendar, most likely it will happen. So let's dive into an example.

Something that we hear all the time for a goal, I want to feel better at home. That's a great goal. We all want to feel better at home. But how did you take action with this goal? It's very difficult to put tasks in the calendar because you don't really know what to do. So a better one is I want to organize my kitchen at home.

Now this is a little bit more specific. Now we have a specific space. So how do you get to a more specific goal More questions. So all the questions that we were doing in the last video, those will help you come up with a better goal. But this call is still not enough to be able to take action into because how do you measure that? Like, how did you organize your kitchen, it's a whole kitchen is a specific area.

So that's why we have the even better goal. And this one says I want to clean and organize all the food in my fridge and pantry. So we have now two specific spaces by April 25. So you have specific deadline, and you and I want to have clear counter space. So now you can measure it. Are they counters clear?

Yes or no? Is it April 25? Yes or no? And then you have the kitchen. So if you go back to the to this month, you can see is it specific? Yes or no?

Is it measurable? Yes or no? Is it attainable? Yes or no relevant? Yes or no? And do you have a date?

Yes or no? So following This system will help you be way more specific. And most likely your costs are going to be more exciting, more realistic, and you're going to be able to move forward with them. We want to show this graph because time and goals go hand in hand, you can have a lot of goals. But if you don't have a lot of time, it's very unrealistic to be able to pursue all of them at once. That's why the exercise of creating your ideal week comes in place, because that forces you to draw the square of time that you need for that specific goal in your week.

And if you can put it in there, that means that you have the time. If you write everything that you have to do and you don't have space, that means that you either have to change something, eliminate something, or you have to break that down into smaller pieces of time, or you just cannot do it. So this is when we start tweaking things around. This is when it gets exciting because Now you are making very intentional decisions. Now you are looking at your week with these calls, the new ones that you want to incorporate. And that was now when you are going to start questioning everything that you are doing, and then thinking, is this activity really helping me have the lifestyle that I want?

Yes or No, maybe it's not. So maybe it's time for you to let that go and include the new and exciting goal there. So how to get goals done. These are a few pieces of advice that we have learned from working with a lot of clients and some others that we have read in blog posts and books and we have seen in videos. The first one is accountability. That's a huge one.

Could be a person could be a reminder in your calendar. It's very, very important to have someone remind you of what you want to do because it's very easy to forget. So accountability is one of the things that we do most with our clients, when we are doing the one on one coaching or things like that. One of the things that are working friends always say that these great is us checking in a How is that going? You told me that you will have these done by today? How is that going?

You told me that this will be finished tomorrow? Have you done it yet. So that accountability piece is really important. And you can use a good friend or family member, your calendar of visual reminder, put somewhere where you are seeing it every single day. You can be as creative as you want. Sharing your goals with the wall is also a great thing.

Why? Because if you share your goal with everybody, they are going to ask you about it. And then you have to answer questions you have to say yes or no. And then if you know that other people know, most likely you are going to get started and you're going to get it done. Breaking the goals down down into tasks. That's what we did with the example before.

It's very important for you to be able to create tasks that you can take action on and placing them in your calendar. So use your idea week schedule to try to find the right time. And then put it in there, reflect and take notes on your progress. And it's okay to change goals. Again, if you decide to do something, and it's taking way more time and energy than you expected, and you go back to reflect because you are feeling frustrated, it is okay to change. Allow it a little bit of time.

But if you sense that it's not working properly, please, by all means change as much as you need to make a goal feed your your lifestyle. And then it takes up to 21 days of repeating to form a new habit or to break an old habit. So you have to be patient. This is not something that it's gonna happen like that. This is something that it's a work in progress, and then you're gonna do one step forward, two step backwards, to step forward, and then it's kind of like a game like that. So be patient.

Always, always reflect, see what's happening, why it's happening, and then tweak and then keep evolving, and keep having fun because the secret is to keep having fun. And then always, always acknowledge the things that you have accomplished, even the little ones. If you have done something good, just just say congratulations, congratulate yourself because it's really important. Okay. I hope this video has helped you with all your goals, I hope you can now set realistic goals, follow that system, this match system, go back to the template or to the piece of paper that you are using. And make sure that you are setting those goals.

And make sure that you are placing the goals into your ideal week. And then make sure that you are scheduling them in your calendar and set a reminder in your calendar for next week or next month. Whatever timeframe you want to have for you to reflect and go back and say how is this working? How are these calls working out? Am I doing it? And then even if you're not doing them, it's a great way for you to understand why because maybe they are not relevant anymore, but at least you understand the why and then you can move forward with them.

New ones. So this is a really good exercise and it's going to transform your life. We will see you in the next video.
