• Aim for Positive – check the goal you wrote down and be sure it is positive.

• If not ask yourself – what do I really want, repeat until goal is stated positively.

• Write it in positive terms before you go to the next step.

• Be in control – use O from the previous procedure to write a list of things I can do; that are conducive to achieving my goal.

• Do the things on the list and check them off when done.

• C/see, hear, & feel what the results of your goal be like. Imagine when you achieve your goal. Use your imagination and be sure you get a response in all three senses. Use Thinking out the Box above to get you going if you want. Write down what these three sensory messages are.

• Dovetail – are these results mutually beneficial? If not how can you refine them or revise them to make them so – if you need to; repeat ABC. Proceed once you have dovetailed.

• Engage the future – once again, using all of your senses, imagine what it’s like when you arrive at your goal? If it’s good proceed. If not, start again from D – The first step of the first sequence right at the beginning of these exercises.

• Flexibly ask yourself the questions in the next box and write down all the answers.
