Be Careful What You Wish For: Goal-Setting is Self-Care

We set goals daily.  

We set goals when we decide when and where we’ll buy groceries.

We set goals when we schedule our days and weeks.

For some reason, I sometimes wonder why we leave the big things to themselves.  It makes no sense.  When we postpone goal setting, we run a real chance of experiencing something that makes us deeply unhappy.

I know many people working in dream jobs that are really working in nightmare jobs.

So, whether you are seeking a new job, more money, a successful diet, or that perfect home, be as clear about what you want as you can.  Clarity and detail count for a lot when you communicate with the universe.

Use a Goal-Setting Journal

In the first chapter of your Goal-Setting Journal, describe whatever you are willing to do to achieve your goal.  Are you looking for a new house or a job or a new friend?

Describe your goal with as much detail as you can.  You are not just looking for your dream job.  You are looking for a job that will allow you to perform specific tasks which you want to participate in.

Explain your job description.  Where is your dream job going to be located?  What are the hours?  What kind of person will you work for?  What will your co-workers be like?  What will your space look like?  How much will it pay?

Write down your intentions with as much detail as you can.  This is how you will  bring your goal to life.  Be as long and as specific as you can.

Describe what you’re willing to do to get this dream job.  Do you have the proper training?  Do you need to update your resume?

Focus in and get detail-oriented.  The more narrowly you focus, the more powerful your intention will be.

Finally, embrace that dream!  Think about all the things you can achieve.  Be as clear as possible.

While you are on your path, keep yourself grounded and focused.  Include regular healing sessions such as reflexology and Reiki therapy.  Throughout my life, I’ve proven to myself that regular sessions help – a lot.

I also hope you’ve had a chance to visit this YOUTUBE channel.  “Let’s Live with Thurman Greco” is a positive, entertaining series of interviews which I’ve conducted throughout the last 15 or so years.  There have been a few intermissions, but not many.

My guests enjoy being on the show and many ask to return.  One thing they all have in common:  we’ve all met each other somehow in Woodstock, NY.

Join us soon!

And, let us know how you like the shows.

10 Ways to Cope with Stress

Everyone I know and meet is stressed out these days.  Many are ill.  Flu.  Heart Issues.  Rashes.  Arthritis.  You name it.  Coping with current events can be challenging for all of us.

There are things that you can do to cope with the situation.

BOOK A REFLEXOLOGY, REIKI, OR CHAKRA HEALING SESSION.   It may be that just one session is all you need to feel more relaxed, grounded.  Or, it may be that one session  won’t heal everything but one session is better than nothing.  And, maybe you can find time in your schedule to book several bodywork healing sessions.

TAKE A NAP.  I work.  I know how hard this can be but I manage to schedule my naps for a few short minutes when I get home from work.  These little power naps are crucial to my overall wellbeing.    I also try to schedule a nap on my  day off.    Put your feet up for five minutes even.  It will help.

SPEND SOME TIME WITH FRIENDS.   Your connection to your community is a boost to your grounding and calm.  Chatting with friends and acquaintances over a cup or tea or at a meeting of some kind can be very positive.  This will give your mental health a boost.

DO YOU MEDITATE?  If not, now is a good time to begin.  I just read in a book that people who meditate live three years longer than those who don’t.  If you do, now is a good time to pat yourself on the back.  You’ve got a good habit.   If you don’t meditate, now is a good time to begin the practice.  This might be a good time to join a meditation group or class.

DEVELOP A NEW INTEREST.   The opportunities to expand your horizon are limitless.  Not all hobbies are expensive.  Many are not costly at all.  The important thing is that you find something new to do which you like.   Your options are endless here.

CHANGE YOUR DIET!   When you add new foods to your life,   you’ll be on an adventure. Choose a new food each week.  Bring it home and  discover where the food comes from, how it’s cooked, stored, and eaten.   You’ll enjoy  these discoveries each week.  This change will help you feel more alive, and energized.  At the end of a year, your kitchen will be an entirely different place with all the new foods you’ll be eating.  You’ll know and enjoy many new foods!  Chances are, you will be more energized and happier overall.

DISCOVER SOMETHING EACH DAY THAT YOU CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR.   It doesn’t have to be a big thing.  But, finding something to be thankful for is important.  Try to do this early in your day so you can enjoy this feeling all day long.

USE A DAILY PLANNER.  This one small change in your life can give you a large shift as you relieve the stress caused by missed appointments and unscheduled events.  Finally having your life schedule organized  is a major stress reliever for many.

HONOR YOURSELF.  We all experience setbacks of one kind or another.  The important thing is to not allow them to control your life.  Take a negative event and turn it into a strength-building exercise.  This will help you  overcome feelings of stress and negativity.
