Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Create a plan
• List your goals
• Prioritize your goals
• Determine the steps
• Implement the steps

1. First, you need to create a plan for your life. Buy a journal and list four categories: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
2. Second, under each of the groups, list your goals or needs with whatever comes to mind. Don't think about it. Just write whatever comes naturally. Here is an example.
   
   Physical
   - Exercise every day
   - Eat healthier
   - Lose weight
   
   Mental
   - Read more books
   - Do more crossword puzzles
   - Look for another job
   
   Emotional
   - Re-think my relationship
   - Get closer to my family
   - Make new friends
   
   Spiritual
   - Heal myself
   - Listen to my instincts
   - Talk to my guardian angels
3. Third, prioritize your goals or needs for each category. Here is an example.
   
   Physical
   3 Exercise every day
   2 Eat healthier
   1 Lose weight
   
   Now, circle the "number ones" in each category. These are your most important goals or needs in your life you need to focus on right now.
4. Fourth, you need to select one category and determine 3(or whatever number you want to use)steps necessary to accomplish this goal or need. Here is an example.
   
   Physical
   1 Lose weight
   - quit eating at fast food restaurants
   - eat whatever I'm eating but less of it
   - write down everything I eat
5. Fifth, implement the steps by doing them for one week at a time until they become a habit.
