Goal Setting: How to brain storm your goals

As we have discussed in previous articles, high level goal setting focuses on four main areas of your life: health, wealth, family/community and spirituality. That’s the easy part. But how do you go about finding what you really want to achieve in each of these four areas. In today’s goal setting article we show you how.

The best way is brainstorming. Brainstorming boosts creativity and helps generate many ideas quickly. However, brainstorming by itself can be frivolous, and you can often end up further away from finalising your goals than you were at the start. To keep you on track with your brainstorming, consider using the following tips.

• Brainstorm for ideas only (the review comes later)
• Write up every suggestion as it comes (no matter how out of left field)
• Suspend your judgement – it is often the thinking outside of the box that leads you to extraordinarily results.
• Go for quantity – after you review you can look at the quality

Once you have written down everything, take a small break and then come back to evaluate what you have written. Consider what topics best meet your needs and what you want to achieve in life. From here you need to narrow your thinking and ideas in to two or three main points. These main points will help guide you into what you want to achieve in this area of your life.
