Have you ever wondered why you have not achieved some of your goals? Have you achieved everything you set your mind to? If so why? Henriette Anne Klauser ‘s book Write It Down, Make It Happen: Knowing What You Want – And Getting It! addresses just that. Writing down your thoughts, ideas, and goals gets you closer to achieving them. Klauser states that the action of writing down what you want actually helps you develop clarity and a better understand of what it is you really want to achieve.

Your writing does not need to be in the form of a novel or big notebook.

There are several ways to capture your late night brainstorms or the gym meditative moments of sweat and tears.

“Don’t just write about what you want, but include why you want it. Why does it make a difference whether you have this or not?” – Henriette Anne Klauser

1. Journaling is a great way to clear your thoughts or reflect on how your day went or how you may do things differently in the future. Many people use a journal to capture what they are grateful for or what their intentions for the day are. Journaling is also very therapeutic and is a safe place to express your feelings and ambitions.

2. Index Cards or sticky notes are a great way to record goals and affirmations. They provide those quick reminders when we look in the mirror or our daytimers. You can capture ideas throughout the day for future writing, blog posts, or product development.

3. Writing Letters to God This is a powerful method that Klauser views God as an interventionalist. she writes down a request or concern to a pressing concern before she goes to bed and in the morning she starts writing both sides of the conversation. To her surprise often with the answers she had been seeking. Seek and you shall find!

Writing things down – makes a big difference in that it brings a person to:

– making a commitment and need for completion

-focus on the task or goal at hand;

-imprints what they want into their behavior

-affirms their desires and dreams

– and develops clarity in knowing what you truly want!

Start writing what you want down. Keep them within sight and look at them regually to achieve what you want. Otherwise, the moment has passed and the commitment may be weak. What do you really want?

Will You Choose to Win?

I often have people come up to me and say, “You know Deb, I am working really hard, I am putting in 10 hours, staying up late ’til 2 o’clock in the morning, getting up early try to get everything done and I am not getting the results that I want in my business or my life.” Life balance is a big deal. You can be continuously going for hours and hours but are you productive with your time?

Are you using your time efficiently to get what you want done? Have you ever noticed that you get more done when you have a deadline? Give yourself mini deadlines. Give yourself two hours for one area to work on so you can totally focus and dedicate your knowledge to that one area. Then when you are ready to work on another project or another area of your life totally dedicate one to two hours, whatever it is that you have time for.   You will be surprised about how much you get done in that time. Often people think ,”Oh I have so much time.” Are we making useful time? Are you dottling in the kitchen flipping through papers not filing paper so it is then sitting on your desk – cluttering and draining your energy. File it, touch it, file it. Get it out of the way so you can breathe easy and focus on the task you have at hand.

Go to the gym. Go for a walk 30-60 minutes daily. Try to get that in daily. Not only does give you a piece of mind, it is good for your body and increases your immune system and makes you feel excited!

The person with the most energy – will win.

The person is most passionate about what they do – will win.

The person who makes  the most effort – will win.

What are you going to do? I hope that you will chose to WIN!!
