Goal Setting Activity

We will now play an interesting game. It is one goal setting activity. I believe this game will change your life.

Take out a piece of paper. Draw a picture of what your life looks like ten year later.

Use Your Imagination and visualize your future.

Use your imagination and draw the details as clear as possible. For example, if you want have an office, paint the color you want and the model you like.

Think of your future ten year later. Your future vision is in your mind and draw it on the paper.

If you can't draw well, don't worry about it. You may find a picture you want from the magazine or from the Internet.

When you have finished drawing, stick the picture on the paper.

This is a good method for you to relax too. When you are alone and no one can disturb you, dream what you want in life and draw it.

You can do this at home when everything is quiet. And sit on the floor or chair. You can even go out and sit on the grass if you like. Just make yourself comfortable.

Be bold to dream. It can be the images that you are winning, or your slim body, things that your dreams for every day.

When you have finished the picture, you may put it on the wall, maybe in your bedroom. So you can see it often.

This is one of the most powerful methods to enable you to achieve your goals. It will provide you with ten times the chances of actually realizing your goal. So take part in this goal setting activity.
