Well, that's
case with traditional goal setting systems because only
left brain understands words. The right brain understands visualization and pattern,
midbrain understands real or imagined emotions and
brainstem understands real or imagined physical behavior.
That's why failure is so common.
But there is an alternative.
It's this: translate your objective into
different languages each part of
brain can understand.
Once you have translated your written objective and modified it so that all four parts of
brain are in agreement, then you have made major progress toward successfully achieving your goal.
The second step you need to take to successfully achieve an objective revolves around
fact that essentially no one can maintain a conscious focus on anything for more than 5 seconds.
Yet most traditional goal setting systems tell you to keep focused on what you want to achieve. That can't happen. Conscious long-term focus is an impossibility.
But when
unconscious mind is focused on something - such as keeping your heart beating and blood pumping, your body weight reasonably constant or breathing - that something happens. Otherwise, we'd all be dead.
Well, that kind of unconscious focus is required to consistently achieve challenging objectives, too.
The third step to successfully achieve your objective is to level out
unconscious road blocks that, otherwise, make accomplishing things impossible. Since these roadblocks operate without our conscious awareness -- like asthma, headaches, and maintaining a constant body weight when you consciously want to lose weight -- no level of conscious will power can overcome them.
But when properly instructed by
conscious mind,
unconscious will instantly change its programming from opposing a result that you want to support its achievement.
If you accomplish all three of these steps - translation, focus, and removal of road blocks - then you have almost a 100 percent chance of consistently achieving your seemingly impossible objectives.
