Sometimes it seems like a tall order to go for the big dreams or goals in our lives. We often have big dreams, big goals that we want to achieve but when we write them down and can’t remember where we put that list (remember those New Years Resolutions??) our dreams can fall to the wayside. Usually, our health goals are at the top of such lists. Things like: lose 10 pounds, eat healthier meals, make green juices for breakfast everyday, exercise or go to the gym more consistently, etc. Before I created the system I’m about to share with you I would put these things on my list never to do a single one of them.

Step 1: Create a Big Picture Goal - This step is crucial for the success of your DREAMS to become real. We all need a big, juicy, fun dream that upon reflection, makes us feel excited and ready to take action or serves a purpose far bigger than ourselves. A great example would be wanting to create a healthier lifestyle to feel your best and also be a role model for your kids rather than losing weight to find a partner or starting your own business to share your gift or a great passion with others rather than starting a business to make millions. Don’t get me wrong we all want to feel sexy or have money in the bank but it’s important that your big picture goal will keep you going for the long haul rather than a quick fix. Having a big dream will ensure that you do all of the little things necessary everyday to create long term dream achievement.

Step 2: Map out a Plan- With your big dream/goal in mind what little steps can you take daily to come closer and closer to achieving success? What steps are absolutely necessary for you to take action on? Do you need to create a grocery list, go through your pantry and get rid of foods that will sabotage your weight loss efforts? Do you need to invest in a mini trampoline or exercise equipment so even if you don’t have a chance to go to the gym you have the opportunity to do so at home? Or, do you need to go back to school in order to secure that big job opportunity? Make a list of small steps that will ultimately help you reach success of your dreams.

Step 3: Ask for Help – Change takes time, effort and accountability. You not only need to take action to achieve your dreams, you also need support from your family or a ‘buddy’ to reach out to in times of anxiety or ‘can I do this’ negativity. Change takes time and attention. I’ve always thought if we are great enough to dream it, you are great enough to achieve it. Who in your life can you share your dream with? How can they support you? Whether it is a neighbor to babysit the kids,  hiring a cleaning service once per week or emailing a friend to help you stay on track – asking for help and someone to share in your success will greatly affect your dream success.

So, what’s your big dream? Are you on track to achieving it? Where do you need help or support? We can strategize together to see these dreams into reality! xoxo
