Stage 2 - Creating a plan
To obtain your goal you will need to break it down into a plan of action. Think about a maximum of five smaller steps that will help you to achieve your aim.

Visualising your end goal is good, but unless you take action to make it happen, it will only ever remain a dream and you don't want that, do you? 

To help you stay motivated it is important that you reward yourself every time that you achieve a step towards your goal. This can be anything that you want for example; going to the cinema, buying a book or some item of clothing, whatever you want as long as it does not detract from your main goal.

There is one important thing to be aware of when you start on your journey, there may be set backs on the way. This isn't a problem, as long as you alter your course and remain focused on where you want to be. People who succeed have experienced more set backs than anyone else, but the difference is that they keep going.

Stage 2: Call to action
First of all set a date to achieve your main goal:  then for each of the steps write down the following action plan:

I your name will achieve................................ by..........................


Then, for each of the steps write down the following:

My first step to achieve my goal is........................
The action required by me, to achieve this is..................
The date I will achieve this by is..........................
When I achieve this stage, I will reward myself with................

Now repeat this up to a maximum of five times, taking you up to when you want to achieve your main goal.

Stage 3 - Motivation
Nature provides some wonderful sights and experiences, which we can all sometimes take for granted. But it is equally important to appreciate the wonderful architecture, inventions and discoveries that the human world has also achieved. Every building, invention and discovery all started as a thought in the mind of someone, who then took the next step and put it into action. 

For you to want to do something there has to be a benefit to what you are doing and you must feel passionately about it. So I would like you to focus on how good life will be when you achieve your goal. Do not concentrate on escaping from negative things, but look towards the good positive benefits that you will gain from achieving your goal.

So list at least three benefits and make them as exciting as possible, the more you can see, feel and sense this, the better, really use your imagination.

Is there a visual representation of your main goal, perhaps a picture in a magazine or from the internet, which you can download? If so start to search for appropriate images that you can look at to keep you motivated.

Stage 3: Call to action
Write down three benefits that you will experience when you reach your goal.

Benefit 1.........................................

Benefit 2.........................................

Benefit 3.........................................

Look out for images that represent your goal and pick one that really inspires you.
