Salaams and Good Morning !
Here is your daily dose of Wisdom for Living Your Best Self!
Gabrielle Oettingen is a brilliant researcher who has spent her career studying the science of making your goals and dreams come to life.
She has come up with a simple but powerful way to manifest your dreams.
In her book Rethinking Positive Thinking, she also reminds us that it’s simply not enough to visualize our ideal life. Although it’s very important to start with a vision of our ideal lives, in order to make it happen, we need to "rub this dream up against reality."
Here is her WOOP formula for applying this idea in our lives.
W is for Wish - What do you want? At this point dream BIG. Imagine you have a magic wand. If you could have anything at all, what would it look like?
O is for Outcome - Why do you want it? What would it do for you if this dream became a reality? See it, feel it. REALLY feel it. Get excited.
O is for Obstacles - What’s in the way? What may stop you from getting what you want? Embrace the reality that there will be obstacles so that you can prepare to deal with them and so that they don’t derail you.
P is for Plan - What will you do about that? How will you deal with these obstacles? (More about this later).
So, there you have it. The formula for making dreams and goals a reality.
Wish
Outcome
Obstacle
Plan
You can WOOP everything – from how you are going to spend this evening to your biggest goals in life.
So go for it. Start practicing WOOPing :)
Wishing you a day full of positivity, purpose and peace.
Warm blessings
