The C.R.E.A.T.E Your Outcome Model to Goal Setting

Published on by Lyn Bailey

The C.R.E.A.T.E Your Outcome Model to Goal Setting

CREATE your Dreams

As we start the new financial year, it is a great time to reassess what we want the year to bring. Now is a great time to start a 90 day plan. The seeds we sow today will bear fruit in 90 days.
Here is a great tool to set you on the right path. Use this to create your dreams.

The C.R.E.A.T.E Your Outcome Model of Goal Setting

Concise and Clear – Write your outcome in 1-2 sentences with as much clarity and detail as possible.

Realistic – Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in a lifetime. If you have difficulty reaching goals, make them smaller. If you always achieve your goals, make them bigger.

Ecological – Ask yourself “Is it safe to me, to others and to the planet?”

As if Now – Write your dream in the present tense, as if it is happening now.

Time/Toward the Positive – Put a future date for when your outcome will occur. (Example: (It is now June 30th, 2019, and I am celebrating having doubled my income in 12 months.”) Make sure it is stated in the positive, and state it exactly as you would like it to happen

End Step/Evidence Procedure – This is the most important step. Ask yourself: “What is the final piece to the puzzle that has to happen so that I know I have achieved my dream?”

This is exactly how you should write your goal.

It is now (future date)…………

I am/ I have (end step/evidence procedure) ………

See my example: “It is now June 30th, 2019, and I am so excited looking at my bank balance showing I have doubled my income in the last 12 months.”
I ask you to take the time to write 1 dream you would like to become a reality in the next 90 days. If you would like to share that dream with me, then email it to me at bailey.lynette@gmail.com

Proof That letting go Is Exactly What You Are Looking For

Published on by Lyn Bailey

Letting Go

Over the last couple of weeks I have moved house. This has meant a lot of sorting, packing, cleaning, decluttering, making decisions. I found myself feeling overwhelmed on a daily basis. This lead to procrastination, with me sitting amongst boxes in tears, unable to make the simplest decisions about what to let go and what to pack. After several days of this happening, I decided to meditate on my need to start letting go. I found an amazing guided meditation Insight Timer by Sarah Blondin, called Healing Through Letting Go https://insighttimer.com/sarahblondin/guided-meditations/healing-through-letting-go
When I did this meditation, I found myself being able to let go of “stuff” that I was unable to let go of the day before. I reduced about 50 folders and their contents to 1 small container of paper. That in inself was a huge change in the way I saw my need to hold on to all this hard copy.
Then, I started to look at the reasons I why needed to hold on. One folder was a workshop I attended some 10 years ago, on the Law of Attraction. I kept it because I was very keen on the topic and eager to know more. This was a great resource at the time. Since then, I have spent 12 months training with Christy Whitman, Quantum Success Coaching Academy, to gain certification as a Law of Attraction coach myself. That was 5 years ago. I now know more than what that folder ever held, yet I still carried it with me as a resource, just because I couldn’t make the decision to let it go.

As I started to let go, an amazing thing happened. The more I let go, the easier it became to let go of more. While my day would finish with only 1 moving box packed, I felt OK because 3 to 4 boxes of stuff had been moved to rubbish, recycle or repurpose at the local charity store.
As the clutter around me became lighter, so did my mood, and my energy increased.
As a LOA coach, I believe that we have an emotional attachment to everything we keep in our lives. So there was an invisible thread connecting me to each and every piece of paper I was hoarding
‘just in case”, and that it took energy to hold on to that thread. So my clutter was draining me of energy on a daily basis without me even being aware of it.
I did share some of my moving experiences on my FB page if you want to hear more about them.

Got the Mummy guilts?

Published on by Lyn Bailey
Want more family time?

Can you relate to any of these challenges?

  • You feel like you are spreading yourself TOO THIN and not giving anyone or anything the attention they deserve
  • You are working because you HAVE to and not because you WANT to
  • You feel constantly GUILTY that you are neglecting your children, your partner, your work, yourself…..
  • You are constantly TIRED, lacking in ENERGY and SLEEP DEPRIVED
  • You are not coping the way that the EXPERTS and the BOOKS say that you should be.

You are absolutely not alone As a working mum, midwife, coach and mentor, who has worked with mums for over 40 years, I have a passion for helping mums to love all aspects of their life and be the best they can be.  I have found that many mums face challenges when it comes to balancing time for family, time for work and time for themselves.

What do you hope to achieve in 2018?

Published on by Lyn Bailey

What do you hope to achieve in 2018?

If you haven’t already planned for your success, today is a great day to start.

It is never too late to start. Take 30 minutes, get a glass of water or cup of coffee, whatever your non-alcoholic drink of choice, a pen and paper, then find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed for that 30 minutes.

 

There are 3 steps to planning for your success.

  1. List
  2. Prioritise
  3. Act

List: Make a list of all that you would like to achieve in 2018

Prioritise: Now review the list for a few minutes and decide what is your number 1 success you would like to accomplish in 2018 and place a 1 in from of it. Now look at the list and select number 2, then number 3. You can continue down the list if you wish, but the important factor here is to have numbers 1, 2, 3 beside your top 3 priorities.

Act: Now look at priority number 1 and list 1 action you can take today to make it start to become a reality. It does not matter how small that step is, just take it TODAY. Then repeat for number 2 and 3 on your priority list.

At the end of the day, you will be one step closer to each of your desired successes for 2018.

When we look at the Opera House and the mighty ships that sail past her, we see magnificent structures. Just remember, they all started with just one step, the first inspired step. Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn’t fail!

 

 

 

For me, one of my main 3 goals for this year was to start blogging. It has taken almost 3 months, but here is my first attempt. Today, I decided to take action and write a blog. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it only has to BE. I’m even putting it on my website to get that started!  Remember, imperfect action is better than no action. What action are you going to take today?
