A goal that is not written down is merely a wish. All the 'golden formulae' for goal-setting agree that your goals must be WRITTEN DOWN.

3. Keep a GOAL JOURNAL. This should contain each of your goals, together with the reasons why you want them, and how they will feed your Core
Values. Allocate at least one page for each goal and date it at the top. Record your progress - this will show you where you started from, how far you've
progressed, and where you still have to go.

Set aside a time and place every week to transfer your daily/weekly actions into your Goal Journal - this will keep you on track and keep you motivated when
you realise just how far you have come. Choose a journal or folder that evokes passion, something that you want to use and handle regularly. Writing goals
on scraps of paper gives the message that they are somehow unimportant - your subconscious will receive that message and act on it (or not, as the case may
be).

REVIEW your goals and your progress regularly. Write a summary of your goals on a GOAL CARD which you carry with you always. Read your Goal Card
every morning and every evening - if you do something regularly, at the same time, in the same way, it will soon become a habit.

Allocate time for this daily review session, think about your goals, see them in your mind as you read. Revisit your Goal Journal each week and record the
progress made. If, during the week you have taken no action toward your goal, write nothing in big red letters. (If you have done nothing for more than one
week, it's time to question the validity of your goal).
As time goes on, you may find you need to update one or more of your goals -your priorities may change. Make the necessary adjustments in your Goal Journal.
Of course, the best update session of all is when you have achieved that which you set out to do and you can put a big tick next to it! Time now for a reward
and to replace it with a new goal.
4. Use the Goal Journal to record the AFFIRMATIONS you will be using to re-train your subconscious. Affirmations are statements used to re-programme
your subconscious mind. Remember the 4 ‘P’s and make them:

• POSITIVE
• PROVOKING EMOTION
• PRESENT TENSE
• PERSONAL
