Revised List of Goals

It seems I made a false start. Here's my revised list of goals, in what I think is the most rational order of achieving them. Please leave your comments.

Basic Goals for Self Actualization

Goal 1. Presence, Being in the Now: Achieve a measure of Presence, or total attention to the present moment for a large part of your day, free from the incessant mental chatter of your mind, especially the negative stuff. Spiritual exercises to achieve this have been described by Eckhart Tolle in The Power of Now and The New Earth. Natural Tim also offers some insight. He refers to this as your Soul Baseline Level, or SBL. Maxwell Maltz councils us to focus our attention on what is happening in the present situation. This goal was tougher to achieve than I thought, and I am still working at keeping a measure of Presence throughout my day, working at not backsliding into the machinations of my ego. Sounds simple but is a tough one, indeed, and clearly the place to start because it liberates you from the fears and snares of your ego that can impair your progress towards any goal.

Goal 2. Concentration and Focus, or honing your ability to focus and concentrate your attention on a single image. These skills help to unleash the power of your subconscious mind, to activate what Maxwell Maltz calls our Creative Success Mechanism.

Goal 3. Learn relaxation techniques. Another key tool for achieving goals.

Goal 4. Adopt a physical training routine. The goal is integrate this permanently into your lifestyle. A real catalyst for achieving goals.

Goal 5. Ensure proper nutrution. No more muck. Another catalyst, while sweets and junk food are poison when it comes to achieving goals.
