Try This: Intention -> Commitment -> Action
🏃🏾♂️Try This
This upcoming week, set aside 10 minutes in a private space to practice Emotion-Body Mapping. You can also do this in a conversation with a friend or coach!
1. Start with 5 minutes of grounding with whatever practice helps you feel present and in the moment.
This could be: jumping jacks, 5 minutes of meditation, or breathwork.
2. Take 1 minute to reflect on how you want to feel at the end of 2024. Narrow this down to 1 word.
It shouldn’t be more than 1 word! This word should be a Whole Body Yes for you.
2. Create 2 specific, measurable commitments that align with your intention word.
Here’s a simple framework for defining a commitment (aka goal) that I like to use:
Goal #: Name
Outcome goal
An outcome goal is a result of your process goals e.g. find a partner
Process goal
Max 2
A process goal is in your control e.g. Go on three dates a week
3. For each goal, list 1 specific action that you can take TODAY to take a step towards achieving the outcome you want
These actions should be specific, measurable, and achievable. For example:
Spend more time at the library - not a great action. It’s not very specific or measurable. How much time? Which library?
Research 2 local volunteer opportunities this week - great action. It’s specific, measurable, and achievable.
As you implement these actions, you can always revisit your Intentions and Commitments! This tool is best used when revisited over time. For example, I set goals for every quarter and revisit them every week to check in on if the goal is still relevant, and how I’m progressing.
