We’re drawn to what we find attractive. It fills our attention and directs our decisions and behavior. Now that you have turned your dreams and desires into achievable goals, you can make them so compelling that you will naturally be drawn toward them.
Remember to only use the following steps with goals you’ve fully taken through the Well-Formed Outcome questions because it’s possible to make unwise or impossible goals compelling. (Unrequited love and quixotic dreams are two examples.) There are better uses of your energy and this technology.
Take one high-priority goal from your list and begin by imagining the goal in your mind’s eye and seeing yourself having already achieved it.
If the goal isn’t already a movie, have it take the form of a movie now. Increase the size and brightness of these images, adding vivid colors and dimension. Notice the way this intensifies how attracted you feel to the goal.
Continue to increase the movie’s size, brightness, and color as long as the feelings of attraction are intensifying until they plateau; then hold them there. Add rich, exciting, upbeat music to your movie of the goal. Have the music become surround-sound so it’s coming from all directions. Hear strong, supportive, encouraging voices cheering you on to your future. Fully enjoy this mental movie and the associated feelings.
Having done one example thoroughly and experienced the effectiveness, you’ll easily be able to take any of your other goals through this same process at any time you desire.
