How to Set Goals You Actually Achieve

Setting a goal can feel exciting, but excitement alone cannot carry you through the days when progress feels slow, doubt begins speaking, or an old pattern tempts you to stop. In this continuation of Only 30 Days to an Entirely New Reality, Kelli explains how to turn a meaningful goal into a process you can follow. You will learn why achieving a goal requires both an execution plan and an identity plan and how these two plans work together to help you continue after the initial excitement fades. Your execution plan identifies what you want to accomplish, the strategy you will use, the repeated actions that support it, and when those actions will happen. Your identity plan prepares you to recognize the beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that may surface as you begin asking more of yourself. In this episode, you will learn: The difference between a vision and a measurable goal The four parts of an execution plan How to choose a strategy that fits your current season How to turn your intentions into scheduled, repeatable actions Why every meaningful goal creates an identity question How your language can reinforce an old identity or support a new one How to prepare for the moment an old pattern appears How to create evidence that strengthens the identity you are practicing How to use an Evidence Book or Proof Journal during your 30-day practice Your Exercise Choose one meaningful goal and create two plans. Execution Plan What specific result am I working toward? What strategy will I use? What repeated actions does that strategy require? When will I complete those actions? Identity Plan Who am I practicing being as I pursue this goal? What old belief or behavior is likely to appear? How will I respond when it appears? What action can I complete today that creates evidence? At the end of each day, record what you completed, what you learned, and one moment that reflects the identity you are practicing. Every completed action—and every decision to return after a missed day—becomes evidence.
