Following on from my previous blog post ‘5 Steps to Your Annual Review’,
Step 5 is getting SERIOUS about your INTENTIONS & GOALS for 2022.
Getting SERIOUS about your INTENTIONS & GOALS sets you up for success for 2022 and beyond.
This is my favourite part of the Annual Review as it is where you take everything you learned from the first 4 steps and turn them into GORGEOUS, DREAM DRIVEN GOALS!
So how do you set GORGEOUS, DREAM DRIVEN GOALS for 2022?
Go through every area of your life in your Wheel of Life (or use mine below) and think about what success in each area look & feel like for you in 2022? Then go back through all of the questions from the first 4 steps of your Annual Review and use your answers to set your intentions & goals for 2022.
The first step to success to is writing down your goals, I highly recommend buying a notebook/journal specifically for your goals and revisiting this regularly to check progress. You can also document them online but I find they can get lost with everything else that we have online, emails, documents etc.
When I am setting intentions & goals I use the acronym SERIOUS, I hope this supports you to set goals for 2022 in all of the key areas of your life.
Go through your Wheel of Life (or use mine) and ask yourself the following questions,
S = STOP
What will you stop doing that is not serving you in 2022?
Do you have habits that you want to stop?
Do you have behaviours that you want to stop?
E = ENGAGE
Who do you need to engage with in 2022?
Are there relationships you need to give more time to?
Are there relationships you need to give less time to?
Do you need to find a coach and/or mentor to support you?
Do you need to offer support to someone?
Do you need to receive support from someone?
Is there someone you want to learn from?
R = REMOVE
What do you need to remove from your life in 2022?
What do you physically need to remove from your life/work/business?
What do you mentally/emotionally need to remove like beliefs & stories you tell yourself?
What do you need to remove electronically – electronic space also takes up mental headspace!
If your life is full, there is no room for anything else to enter!
I = INTENTION & IMPROVE
What is your intention in each area of your life in 2022?
What will you improve in each area of your life in 2022?
What is working for you that you want to build on?
What parts of your life do you love that you want more of?
O = OPEN YOUR MIND
How will you open your mind and move out of your comfort zone?
Your comfort zone is exactly that – comfortable.
There is no growth there, you will only grow by moving outside of your comfort zone.
What do you need to learn about to move you out of your comfort zone?
What passions do you have in life that you want to learn more about?
How will you grow & evolve in each area of your life?
U = UNDERSTAND
How will you understand more about each area of your life in 2022?
How will you understand more about yourself?
How will you understand more about others?
You are the key to your own success in life and so understanding and nurturing your relationship with yourself is time very well spent.
S = START
What will you start?
We usually take on way too much and so ‘Start’ is the last thing to do.
Our lives are already overflowing with busy and so to start something new, we need to create the precious time to do so.
It’s better to focus on everything else (especially STOP & REMOVE) so you can create the physical, mental and emotional time and space to start something new!
That’s it, answer these quick and easy questions to get SERIOUS about INTENTION & GOAL setting in every area of your life for 2022 and beyond.
Whether this was your first time setting intentions & goals for the year or you have been doing this for many years, I hope you learned something new.
More importantly, I hope you TAKE ACTION!
Intention & goal setting is only as good as the ACTION YOU TAKE to plan for 2022, I’d love to hear how your intention & goal setting went and what ACTIONS you will be taking?
I wish you happiness, joy, success and purposeful, positive change in 2022 and beyond.
