Smart Goals Are Sensory Rich Goals

One of the reasons for people not achieving their goals are because they are not clear enough on what they want. If you don’t know what you want, how will your universe deliver this to you?

The way we become clearer is to take ourselves to a point in time in the future when we have achieved the goal and then cycle through all our senses. This gives us clarity and specifies what the goal means to us in great depth and detail. We create smart goals by using all our senses.

An Example

As I sat at the computer and typed out in great detail what my goal was, I included all the senses. I saw what I could see, I heard what I heard etc… I even went into great detail to estimate how much money I needed to save.

One of the greatest things about setting smart goals is that we set it with our conscious mind which is a fraction of what we are capable of. As we go about creating it, we assume how it will play out in our conscious mind. But when we dig deep into our universal mind, we access a greater intelligence and the goal often comes in ways that are beyond comprehension in our limited conscious mind.

In my case, it took about 2 weeks from creating my goal before it came to fruition – my evidence step. I was offered a job overseas in the country of my birth. In my universe things had aligned with my contacts to create a means of supporting the goal. As part of the contract, I negotiated an around the world air ticket and a salary that would give me money for my travel. Within a few short months I began my round the world trip that was my sensory rich goal.

Crystallize Your Goal

Part of accessing you senses is to go into the future as if you have already achieved your goal. This will give you an outline of the goal you wish to create. As you cycle through your senses, you add the details that crystallize the picture of your goal.

There are 2 million bits of information that comes our way every second of the day. We’re only able to process 134 of these bits of information with our five senses. So when we go into the future and create smart goals and cycle through the senses, we are filling in as much as we can of the 2 million bits of information. More importantly, we fill in that 134 bits of information we are able to process.

It’s this creation of smart goals and filling in the details that paints the picture on the canvas of your mind.

You Get What You Ask For

Recently my wife decided that she wanted a specific job that paid her a certain amount of money. This was her goal and she took action to achieve the goal. The universe was aligning itself until it delivered that that she had asked for. She got the job she asked for and she was only $1,000 short of the salary she was seeking.

The problem was that she was not specific enough. The right job came, however it was the other side of town. She spent three hours a day in travel and soon realized that this was not what she wanted.

When we use all our senses, we clarify our goal, we become very specific what we are asking for. We create smart goals. As such, when you do achieve your goal you’ll be satisfied with it rather than disgruntled because there was something that detracted from the outcome.

Use In Evidence Step

When you do this part of the exercise, you want to go forward to that moment in time that is your evidence step and write it down in detail in a sentence or two. After going through this step, doing the evidence step is easy because you have already painted the full picture in your mind.

How To Do This Step

You will go about creating the story of your smart goals by adding in the other senses. As you see yourself, what do you hear, feel, taste and smell. Write this down as it surfaces in the picture of the canvas of your mind. The more things you can add to your picture, the stronger the magnetic pull is created to suck you towards your goal.

When creating smart goals, just keep on asking yourself what you see, hear, smell, feel and taste.

Be Open To How Your Smart Goals Will Arrive

But this was all in my logical conscious mind. If I had made the picture of my logical mind the rule I needed to follow, it would have taken me a few years to achieve my goal.

When you create a sensory rich goal, you effectively hand over the creation of this goal to the universal mind, which knows all because everything is linked. It will send you the answers and it becomes the responsibility of your logical conscious mind to decipher the messages.

Be open to the answers that come to you and be willing to attack some of the solutions that might scare you. In Part 2 of ‘Train Your Brain’ we change your relationship with this fear and turn it into an exciting adventure for you.
