1 Master Your Little Voice - Your inner voice can guide or hinder you, depending on how you engage with it. Reflect on its purpose, reframe negative messages, and adjust its tone to take control. Shape your thoughts to foster positivity and empowerment. Tame Your Inner Critic
2 Visualise Your Success - We naturally visualise outcomes, often achieving what we focus on. Instead of imagining failure, like a date going wrong or an interview falling apart, shift your focus to positive results and success. Visualisation
3 Use The Language Of Success - Language shapes thoughts and influences others. Using specific, direct, and concrete language creates clarity and builds trust. For example, “I will have that done by Friday” is far more effective than “I may possibly try.” Successful people use empowering language that reflects confidence and commitment. Have you ever thought or said?
4 Change Your State - Your body can influence your mind. For example, smiling can make you feel happier, even if you’re feeling down.

5 Dare To Dream - Without a dream, it can’t come true. Setting goals is key to staying focused, managing your time, and achieving success. Without structure, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by distractions and lose sight of your long-term objectives. By breaking down dreams into specific, manageable goals, you create a path that is both achievable and rewarding. Do You Dare to Dream by Jenny Garrett
Goal Setting - Goal setting plays a crucial role in managing your time and achieving success. It helps keep you focused, motivated, and on track to accomplish what matters most. Without clear goals, it’s easy to become distracted and lose sight of your objectives.
A valuable framework for clarifying and refining goals is the SMARTO Framework. SMARTO builds upon the traditional SMART criteria—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—by adding the O for Own. This additional element emphasises the importance of personal ownership of your goals.
The Stress Management Society - 7 Step Achievement Plan - Goal Setting Guide 2025 encourages you to consider the following when setting achievable and meaningful goals:
Be Clear

Whatever goals you decide to set yourself - good luck!
