Getting Grounded to Achieve Your GoalsGrounding involves identifying where you are at and where you are going. By engaging in daily grounding activities, you can "stay on track" to reach your goals instead of just aimlessly going through the day. Daily Grounding Activities Morning GroundingIt is always better to start the day with a sense of hope, energy and direction. I am a morning person, so of course I would say that. Nevertheless, just like breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gets your body jump-started, morning grounding is one of the most important activities of the day, because it sets the tone and direction. My long-term goal: 5 years from now I want to be: My short term goal: To achieve my long-range goal, today I need to (list 2 things): Once you have regrounded and reviewed where you are going, you can get in touch with yourself so the journey is as rewarding as the goal. As you identify ways you sabotage yourself and actively increase the positives in your life, things will start to fall into place. For example, once you are “happy” or “content” mentally you will probably feel more focused and sharp, physically you will find you have more energy and spiritually you will be more hopeful, positive and content. In the “Things I need to do today” section, remember to keep your goals reasonable. For example, in the emotional section, you could try to view everything through a positive light today, listen to your favorite music on the way to work, workout. Emotionally I feel (circle one): angry, anxious, content, depressed, happy, irritable “blah” other: _________________________________________________ Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to feel happier ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Mentally I feel (circle one) confused, distracted, focused, foggy, scattered, sharp Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to feel sharper, more focused ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Physically I feel (circle one) energetic, healthy, sick, sluggish, strong, tired Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to feel healthier and more energetic ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Socially I feel (circle one) belonging, content, loved Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do to nurture (or develop) positive relationships are ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Spiritually I feel (circle one or more) accepting, content, hopeful, peaceful, none of those Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to nurture (or develop) my spirituality are ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Occupationally I feel (circle one or more) apathetic (don’t care) content, driven, exhausted, unfulfilled Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to be more contented at work are ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ Environmentally I feel (circle one or more) afraid, cluttered, comfortable, connected, crowded, relaxed Because _____________________________________________________ Things I need to do today to improve my environment are ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ At the end of the day, review this list.
