EVERY DAY

keep those PROMPTS in front of you EVERY DAY

What will your life look like on a daily basis when you reach that goal ? How can you start bringing that into your life now ?
Here ’ s the secret : Significant changes and grand accomplishments don ’ t happen with a single moment of decision and commitment . Deciding to advance your business or to improve your relationships isn ’ t all that ’ s required to make those changes happen . The key is taking small , consistent steps to reach your goals . One great way to focus on this is to remember to do less of some things , and do more of other things .
For example , if your goal is to be more positive in your interactions with your team , you ’ ll likely feel you have failed in your goal if you give up after the first less-thanideal interaction . Instead , break it down into what you should do less of or more of . Maybe you need to do less of being critical of others ’ actions and words , or do less of comparing yourself to your fellow team members . Perhaps you should do more of cheering your team on in their achievements , or do more of sharing your experiences with them in an honest , open way . Each time you succeed in doing less or more of these things , it ’ s a victory !
What are the steps required to reach that goal ? This might be changes in your thoughts or actions , adjustments in your interactions with others , a certain number of enrollments or classes , etc .
What can you do less or more of that will get you closer to this goal each day ?
Write down what you need to do less of and more of , and keep those prompts in front of you every day . As you work toward your goals and make progress in these simple steps , the things that you do less of or do more of will shift . That ’ s one of the beautiful things about this tool — it changes along with you , and it can be applied to a wide variety of goals . Try it and see how it changes your life !
Now apply it to your own goal . Think of your major goal — whether it ’ s a personal development goal , a rank advancement goal , a time management goal , or another personal , family , or business goal . As you consider what you will need to do less or more of to reach this goal , think about these questions : doterra . com 47
