Wouldn’t you like to know how to reach your writing goals without much effort and stress? Believe it or not, sometimes we put a choke hold on our goals. We don’t mean to because we’re so passionate about them. However, that passion works against us and before we know it our goals our die.
The more you obsess over meeting your goals, the more you’re likely to push the goals away from you. This sounds counterintuitive to what all of us have been taught, which is to focus, fo- cus, focus on our goals. But that’s the paradox.
What is the paradox? When you’re extremely focused on your goals, you create an energy force that pushes your goals away from you. When you relax into your goals and take ‘inspired action’ to reach your goals, you create a ‘positive’ energy that draws your goals closer to you. You may be shaking your head. But I’ve tested the ‘paradox’ theory.
Testing the Paradox Theory I used stress out about reaching my writing goals to the point where I was miserable. Writing was be- coming more of a chore than something I was pas- sionate about. It became the dreaded task. And I wanted to give up. But there was something inside of me that wouldn’t let me give up. So, I had a little conversation with myself that went something like this… “You have all of those self-help, spiritual, and meta- physical books that teach you how to set an inten- tion and let it go.
You’ve listened to radio show after radio show where you’ve heard hosts tell their audience members that being uptight about their goals pushes them away. You’ve been known to give people advice on how to visualize the ‘end result,’ yet you’re not taking your own advice. What’s wrong with this picture?” I reflected on my thoughts for a moment and agreed that I wasn’t taking my own advice or applying the knowledge I learned throughout the years. It was time to practice what I learned.
The Steps to Reaching Your Writing Goals First Step My first step was to purchase a web theme for my writer website that matched my personali- ty. After a few tweaks, I got it to look the way I wanted it to. If you’re not happy with the look and feel of your author or writer website, hire a web de- signer, or purchase a theme from any suitable source available online.
Second Step The second step was to meditate on my goals. I needed to make sure I wanted to reach my writ- ing goals. This is important. You may think you want to become a best-selling author, but in real- ity, you don’t. What you really want is the ado- ration, fame, and money. There’s nothing wrong with these. However, you may stumble and fall because you’re so focused on the ‘material’ as- pect of writing. Remember, most writers would write even if they weren’t paid for it. Be totally honest as to ‘why’ you want to see your book on The New York Times Best-Sellers list. The answer may surprise you.
Third Step The third step was to write down my goals. Seeing your writing goals on pa- per will help you acknowledge whether or not you want to reach them. You can revise your writing goals over and over again until you’re satisfied they’re the goals you want to reach.
Fourth Step The fourth step was to ‘feel’ as if I already reached my goals. This step can be tricky if you’re not sure how you’d feel. But here’s a trick… Think about the best time in your life. Maybe it was when you married your high school sweetheart. Maybe it was when you took a European vacation. Maybe it was when you adopted a puppy or kitten. Maybe it was when your child was born. Maybe when it was you went into remission. Think about whatever made you super-duper happy and hold onto that feeling.
Fifth Step The fifth step was to take inspired ac- tion. Taking action for action sake won’t help you reach your goals. Inspired action is when you ‘feel right’ about something, whether it’s sending greeting card copy to a company or applying for a blogging opportunity. If it ‘feels’ right to you go for it, keep the ‘end result’ in mind.
Sixth Step The sixth step was to release my goals. You know you’ve done your best and its time to release your goals. Think of your goals as planting seeds. A farmer doesn’t plant seeds and then dig them up to see ‘why’ whatever it is they planted isn’t growing. They plant the seeds, water them (or not), and let nature take its course. If you keep revising your goals and strategiz- ing over and over again how you’ll reach them, you’ll never reach them. Take inspired action and let go!
