Set Intentions and Take Control of
Your Life
Abi Egbeyemi
Declare your intentions,
see the outcome of any decision you make even before you act, learn to
think five steps ahead.
Why is this important?
-
It helps you take
control of your day. It gives you an outline of the actions you
have to take to accomplish your goals for the day.
-
You become proactive,
like a chess player you are able to think a few steps ahead.
-
It gives your
subconscious mind results to manifest.
-
It will reduce the
amount of stress you will encounter in your day.
-
It gives you a sense
of accomplishment at the end of your day.
Whenever you make plans
you should start with the results you want to get. You usually have an
idea of what you want to get done in the day, but do you ever stop to
think of the outcome? Do you ever think of how you want to impress so
and so at that meeting that you are offered a raise or get that
promotion you want. Or do you think meeting with that company president
will result in a multimillion dollar contract for your company. Or that
date will turn out to be the love of your life and the start of the life
you dreamed of.
You can use the outcome
method for everything you have to do, even everyday chores, just thing
of how you want things to go and how you want things to be when you are
done. The other day I had to go grocery shopping, something I don’t
enjoy, I had to go to two grocery stores on about three miles apart, get
back home, find parking, and get to work. So I declared: I will go to
both groceries stores, get everything I need, get done in 45 minutes
come home and park in my favorite spot and get to work. Not only did
this happen exactly as I declared, I had five minutes to spare. This is
just one small example of how thinking of the outcome first can affect
something as mundane as grocery shopping and parking.
How can you do it?
Start your day with the
outcome in mind. Visualization: Before you start your day think about
what you need to accomplish. How you want to get it done. What
resources you need. How you want to feel at the end of the day. Before
you start a project think of the outcome. What you want the project to
look like when you are done? Who needs to see it? What do you want
them to say or do when they see it? What impact do you want it have on
your life?
Setting intentions and
visualizing the outcome allows you to take control of your life: you see
how your day is going to turn out. You do this everyday and you will
visualize your entire life one day at a time. This is how you manifest
your life, how’s that for taking control.
