Using Emotions for Success

Emotion is a powerful tool in the goal setting process. Get excited about what you are doing. Get excited about the progress you are making. Feel the goal as if you have already achieved it.

Emotions are the mindset of how you feel about things. Positive emotions are uplifting and inspiring whereas negative emotions are deflating and discouraging. By getting excited about the goal setting process, it stimulates feelings of happiness and general wellbeing which not only puts you in a positive emotional state but enables you to think more clearly and work more productively towards your goals.

Feel the emotion of driving that brand new car. Feel the emotion of walking into your beautiful new home, the recognition of that promotion at work or the completion of that bestselling novel that you were writing. Feel it now. Don’t wait for it to happen, trust that it is going to happen and feel it now.

Visualise how you would feel if you had already achieved the goals that you have written down and feel that way now. It may sound a little ridiculous, but by doing so you are affirming to yourself that you are successful, that you are succeeding at achieving your goal sand your mind then starts to believe that all of these things are possible.

You are removing doubt, doing away with fear and having faith not only in yourself but in what you can achieve, whilst getting day by day that little bit closer to achieving it.

Go on, give it a go.
