Successful Goal Setting: the SMART and SAFE way
A new and powerful process for goal setting and achievement, SAFE combines the best of traditional goal setting with the power of the Law of Attraction.
Traditional Goal Setting Theory
Traditional goal setting theory teaches the logical process often described as SMART. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time oriented. Though
SMART goal setting is useful and often brings us the results we desire, it overlooks a powerful and useful methodology that is even more helpful in goal setting activities: The Law of Attraction.Popularized by The Secret DVD and book, and by the media, including Larry King and Oprah, the Law of Attraction is often portrayed as a magical method to achieve riches and love. But the Law of Attraction isn’t something to use only for special occasions or grandiose dreams, it’s a means of achieving everything we want, including the goals we set in our personal and professional lives.
A new method of goal setting combines the traditional SMART process with the Law of Attraction; it’s called SAFE. SAFE stands for:
See your goal vividly,
Accept it on faith,
Feel it with emotion, and
Express it in pictures and words.
Which would be easier, chasing butterflies around a field trying to catch them with a net or attracting them to where you are standing with your net? SMART is like chasing butterflies, SAFE is like attracting them to you.
