Setting goals along with a Full Moon will help give them a boost!
A couple of blog posts ago I spoke about reviewing the past year and letting go and now I want to share the next step in the process about setting goals. I thought it would be a great time to share this as we have a Full Moon today and you may wish to try it.
The Full Moon is a great time to set intentions and goals, review past goals and achievements and to take action towards them. You could even do a vision board if you wish, but I wont be talking about that today.
My Way of Setting Goals
The next step I took in the process after I reviewed my past year was writing down the things I wanted to achieve this year and some long term goals. First I set my sacred space by cleansing it and myself with some sage, then I grounded myself. Once I felt I was ready I looked at what my past goals were and wrote down if I had achieved them and then looked at if I still wanted to pursue them and if I did, what could I do differently to achieve them. I then wrote down new goals I wanted to achieve.
Now you do not need to have a lot of goals, you may just have one and that is perfectly fine. You also need to make sure these can be achievable too, at least some of them. When I say achievable, I mean there are steps you can take to get to your desired outcome, even if you might not know all the steps yet. The goal setting I did was not of elaborate things or things you would typically put on a vision board, although you could. These were things about my business and my personal like. Here is an example, I put down ten squats a day. Now this might seem fairly easy, but I needed to make it achievable as if you can train your brain to see you can do something, it will be able to see you can achieve things and encourage you more with the harder stuff. I also know myself and although I need to get fitter, I just know I wont stick to say walking twice a week or going to the gym. I will still go for walks, but if I put that as a goal and feel like I HAVE to do it, it will demotivate me.
I finished my goal setting with listening to some relaxing music and imagining them coming true and how I would feel when they did. I tried to experience the feeling as they say if you can feel how it will feel then you are a step closer to manifesting it.
The next day I started taking action on some of them and I also made a plan for the week on steps I need to take and this is something I will continue to do. You must take action. Every step of action, leads you one step closer to your achievement. Action is not one of my strong points so I have to keep encouraging myself to do it. But I am determined to do it this year and to make more progress! I’ve also read that this is a nine year, which means it’s a year of action! So I’m hoping this will help!
Journal Prompts for Setting Goals
Here are some things for you to consider and help you write your goals.
Did I achieve my goals from last year?
If no, do I still want to achieve them?
What will I do differently to achieve them?
What do I want my life to look like?
What do I really want?
What do I want to achieve?
What do I want to achieve spiritually?
Write these questions down and answer them. Look at different areas of your life such as relationships, personal goals, business/career etc. Once you have written it all down and feel good about it, find some relaxing music (I just got some from YouTube) and imagine your goals being achieved and how it will feel.
Goal Setting with the Full Moon
So where does the full moon come in to this? Well goal setting and manifesting are best done in a Waxing Moon stage or Full Moon. Setting goals with the Full Moon at the height of her power, amplifies the energy and gives you a boost. If you have time tonight, make a little ritual out of it, light some incense, cleanse your energy, ground and then get started. You can also ask the Moon to help you achieve your goals and to give you that needed boost/motivation to get you going and taking action.
You can do your goal setting any time, but the Full Moon will give you a boost in the right direction. So I encourage you to try it out tonight! And remember, you must take action!
My plan is to also do a vision board at some point and to share details of that with you. I have just learnt a new way of doing it, so I’m excited to try it out! I may wait until the New Moon and waxing phase though to give it encouragement in the right direction. I am just learning more about Moon Magic too, so I will probably be sharing about that in the future!
Let me know in the comments if you do this and how it goes! I would love to know.
Love & Light
