    Evaluate Your Relationship Life Area

    The purpose of evaluating your relationship life is to have a clear picture of where you are now, where you want to be, and to set out a plan of action that you would like to try. Use your Crossroads Ultimate Planner or your journal that you are tracking your Crossroads Journey in.

    Your relationship life area includes:

    • Family
    • Partner or relationship
    • Friends
    • Team members
    • Clients
    • Managers
    • Other relationships

    Your current Relationships Life Area

    • What does your current relationship life look like?
    • How do you feel about your current relationships?
    • What actions do you currently take in your relationships?
    • What are the consequences of the action you are currently taking?

    Your future financial life area

    Next, you will look at what you would like to change:

    • What do you want your relationships to look like?
    • What are your thoughts and feelings about the changes that you want to make?
    • What actions do you want to take instead of the ones that you currently take?
    • What are the consequences of these new actions?

    Trial plan of action for your relationships

    Now that you know what your relationships currently looks like and what you want it to look like in the future. It is time to create an action plan to help you get to where you want your relationships to be in the future. This trial should have a timeframe of three months or less.

    • What is the path you are going to trial?
    • How long is the trial period? Set a date and put it into your diary.
    • What is the focus of the trial path?
    • What does success look like?
    • What action steps do you need to take? Give them deadlines.
    • What tools and resources do you already have?
    • What tools and resources do you need?
    • What are your first three action steps?

    Remember to add the action steps to your diary or planner, and track your actions in the weekly tracking. And most importantly, start taking action.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 10 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 10 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator. This is the Week 10 Action Plan. This week we will look into your financial life area, where you are now, where you want to be, and create a plan to trial one of the paths you have uncovered. You will also continue to work with your happiness list and your weekly tracking.

    • Your financial life area
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking

    Your financial life area

    Back in week 1, you would have done your life assessment and reflection that would have given you a snapshot of what your financial life looks like. It may have even given you a goal to work on. This week you will evaluate your financial life in more depth. This will help you to have a clear picture of what you need to focus on in your financial life.

    Your happiness list

    Your happiness list is important as it is a list of things and activities that make you happy. Doing something from your happiness list daily will not only be a reward for achieving your goals, but it also brings a little bit of happiness to your life regularly. This will help with your mental health as well by increasing your:

    • Endorphins that help with reducing stress and blocking pain.
    • Dopamine, which helps with your feeling rewarded, motivation, and pleasure
    • Serotonin, which helps regulate your mood and long-term well-being
    • Oxytocin, which helps build social bonds, trust and love.

    If you read last week’s Action Plan, you will know that I am slowly getting the ingredients to create my own makeup. The next item I will be making is mascara; the ingredients I have to buy will also help with the other makeup products on my make list. Making my own cosmetics makes me happy, and it lets me know what ingredients are in my products.

    Another thing that makes me happy because it takes the stress out of getting dressed is to have a capsule wardrobe. I have recently acquainted myself with Courtney Caver’s Project 333 (https://amzn.to/3SJ8m3v affiliate link). The principle behind Project 333 is that you have 33 clothing and accessory items and you wear them for three months. It’s not a challenge about restriction or probity; if something wears out or you realise it’s not suiting your needs, then replace it. Then, in three months, change over some of the items that aren’t suited for the season you are heading into.

    Here in New Zealand, we are heading into spring, so my wardrobe will need to cater for wet, cold, windy days that will head into warmer, wet, windy days. At the start of the season, I will need to carry over some of my cold weather items, but also factor in some lighter clothing items for the days that it is warmer. Layers are important for spring as the temperatures during the day can fluctuate dramatically.

    Weekly tracking

    Tracking your activities each week will help you stay focused, see what you have achieved in the week that has been, and help work out what you want to focus on next week. Use your journal or Ultimate Crossroads Planner.

    • Weekly Tracking
      • Focus of the week
      • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
      • Resources required
      • Accomplishments of the week
      • Weekly Tasks/habits
      • Weekly Notes
      • Top 3 Action Steps for next week

    This concludes this week’s action plan. Now you will have:

    • A plan for your financial life
    • Added to your happiness list
    • Continued your weekly tracking.

    ​If you are feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads in life, book in for a Goal Investigation Session or purchase a WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support Pack.

      • Retirement fund
      • Spending money
      • Entertainment
      • Other actions you take with your money.

    • What does your current financial life look like?
    • How do you feel about your current financial life?
    • What actions do you currently take in your financial life?
    • What are the consequences of the action you are currently taking in your financial life?

    Your future financial life area

    Next, you will look at what you would like to change:

    • What do you want your financial life to look like?
    • What are your thoughts and feelings about the changes that you want to make in your financial life?
    • What actions do you want to take instead of the ones that you currently take?
    • What are the consequences of these new actions?

    Trial plan of action for your financial life area

    Now that you know what your financial life currently looks like and what you want it to look like in the future. It is time to create an action plan to help you get to where you want your financial life to be in the future. This trial should have a timeframe of three months or less.

    • What is the path you are going to trial?
    • How long is the trial period? Set a date and put it into your diary.
    • What is the focus of the trial path?
    • What does success look like?
    • What action steps do you need to take? Give them deadlines.
    • What tools and resources do you already have?

  • Your Happiness List

    Your Happiness List

    The purpose of Your Happiness List is so that you have a list of activities and things that make you happy. As we get busy and overwhelmed with life, we often neglect the things that make us happy. This exercise is designed so that you have a quick reference list of things that you enjoy doing. In your diary or journal, create a list of things and activities that make you happy when you do them.

    This will help with your mental health as well by increasing your:

    • Endorphins that help with reducing stress and blocking pain.
    • Dopamine, which helps with your feeling rewarded, motivation, and pleasure
    • Serotonin, which helps regulate your mood and long-term well-being
    • Oxytocin, which helps build social bonds, trust and love.

    Items on your happiness list could be:

    • Self-care – giving yourself a facial, getting your nails done, giving yourself a mani/pedi
    • Activities – reading a book, watching a show or movie, going for a walk in nature, hugging your pet, working on your car, building something, painting something…
    • Crafts: embroidery, painting, knitting, crocheting, decorating cakes, other crafts that you enjoy
    • Anything else that makes you happy.

    Uses of your happiness list:

    • Daily to bring a little bit of happiness into your life.
    • As a reward for accomplishing something on your Crossroads Journey
    • An emotional boost  when you are feeling down
    • After you have done some work on your sabotages and roadblocks as a pick-me-up.

    Revisit your Happiness List regularly and keep adding to it. Over time, you will have a variety of activities and things that make you happy. It will once again become natural to regularly do activities that make you happy, and you will become happier for it.

    If you are feeling overwhelmed and at a crossroads in life, book in for a Goal Investigation Session or purchase a WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support Pack.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 9 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 9 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator, to Week 9 Action Plan. This week you will be reviewing the month that has been and then go on and set the plan for the month to come. You will continue on your happiness list activities, bringing a little happiness to your life daily. And finally, you will carry on your weekly tracking.

    • Review your month
    • Monthly Plan
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking

    Review your month

    Having your weekly tracking up to date will help you when you review your month, as you will have a condensed version of what you got up to in the month that has just been. Reviewing your month will help you to see what is working, what isn’t, and what you have achieved.

    In your chosen HGD Crossroads Planner or your journal, start a new spread for the monthly review:

    • What was the focus for the month?
    • What action steps did you complete?
    • What action steps did you do instead?
    • What action steps did you not do? Why?
    • What will you not do again?
    • What do you need to do differently or change?
    • What progress have you made with your goals?
    • What have you still got outstanding?
    • What are you carrying over to next month?
    • Any other notes about the month that has just been?

    The plan for next month

    Now that you have reviewed the month that has just gone, it is time to plan the coming month. Having a plan will help you to have a focus for the month so that you know what you are working towards. This also helps with the weekly tracking because you have milestones that can be measured.

    • What is the focus for the month?
    • What does success look like for you this month?
    • What goals are you focusing on this month?
    • What action steps do you need to take this month?
    • What are the top 3 action steps?
    • What appointments have you got this month?

    Your happiness list

    You will know by now, if you have been following along with the weekly action plans you will know that your happiness list is activities that you enjoy doing and that make you happy. These can be activities like personal care: giving yourself a facial, doing your nails, taking care of your beard, getting a relaxing or therapeutic massage. Arts and crafts: painting, drawing, crocheting, knitting, building something, working on your car. Other activities that make you happy. Then you will do at least one of them daily. You can also use your happiness list as a reward when you achieve something from your goals or action plan. After you have done a roadblocks or sabotage exercise to lift you up. You can also do a happiness activity when you are feeling down.

    After work, I have been doing some crocheting before feeding the animals and myself. I am crocheting a long line cardi/overcoat; it is in an 8-ply acrylic yarn in the colour rhubarb. What have you been doing?

    Weekly tracking

    As you would have discovered in this week’s action plan, it is helpful to do the weekly tracking so that you have a record of what you achieved in the month when you do the monthly review.

    • Weekly Tracking
      • Focus of the week
      • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
      • Resources required
      • Accomplishments of the week
      • Weekly Tasks/habits
      • Weekly Notes
      • Top 3 Action Steps for next week

    This concludes this week’s action plan. If you want to get 1:1 support, purchase the WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support. You can send multimedia and text messages about your goal investigation, get accountability and support. The minutes are counted on the Goal Detectives’ time, not your time in creating the messages.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 8 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 8 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator, to the Week 8 Action Plan. This week, you will look at when motivation isn’t enough to keep you going and when it’s better to form habits. Keep working on your happiness list. Continue your weekly tracking.

    • When motivation isn’t enough
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking

    When motivation isn’t enough

    If you are like me, you are very excited and motivated when you first start a goal or project. But what happens when your motivation wanes? Do you struggle through, or do you move on to the next goal or project because you have lost interest in the current one? It would be better to build habits around your Crossroads Journey than to rely solely on motivation.

    Some things to think about when setting up habits around your Crossroads Journey:

    • Do you have dedicated time each week, each day, each month to work on your current goal?
    • Do you have about five hours each week dedicated to your goals?
    • Or how much time each week do you want dedicated to taking action on your goal or project?
    • What habits can you form to achieve what you have set out to achieve?
    • Have you added this time and habit to your diary or planner so it can be tracked?
    • It may help if you set a time each day or, at the very least, each week marked specifically for your goal.
    • Is there a repetitive activity? If so, have you scheduled it into your planner or diary?
    • What else can you do to form habits?

    Happiness list

    As you will know by now, if you have been following along with each week’s action plan, that happiness list is a list of activities that make you happy. You do at least one happiness activity daily. But also as a reward for achieving something from your Crossroads Journey. And also when you are struggling because it is an off day or you have done one of the roadblock and sabotage activities.

    If you have been following along since week one, then you will have a good selection of activities to do that make you happy. Is there anything else you would like to add to the list? What has been your favourite activity to do?

    One thing I have been doing that makes me happy is focusing on my self-care. I used to be a nail picker, and years before that I was a nail biter. I am coming up to about week 8 of growing my natural nails. I am surprised that they are stronger than they used to be. I have also been applying body lotion each night before I get into my pyjamas.

    I have also purchased an empty makeup palette off Amazon, and I have added the makeup that I made: mineral foundation; it was loose, but I pressed it into one of the empty pans. I have also added two of the three lipsticks I made. And I have made a list of the makeup that I want to make next. I have also priced how much it will cost to buy the ingredients, but I will have to get the ingredients I don’t have a little at a time. The first project I want to do next is make myself a mascara, as I am fully out. For now, my goal is to create all the products for this makeup pallet… but I am thinking of getting a couple more pallets so that I can have a pallet for different occasions. In the meantime, I can use the commercial products that I still have.

    15 pan makeup pallet:

    1. Pressed mineral foundation (already have)
    2. Blusher (using a commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    3. Highlighter (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    4. Bronzer (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    5. Mascara (I am completely out, so this will be my next project)
    6. Concealer (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    7. Lipstick (already have) – pale purple lavender/violet ish
    8. Lipstick (already have) – red brown
    9. Lipstick (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients) – pink
    10. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    11. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    12. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    13. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    14. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)
    15. Eyeshadow (using commercial product that I already have until I can get more ingredients)

    Makeup Ingredients I already have:

    • Sericite mica
    • Zinc oxide
    • Boron nitride
    • Magnesium myristate
    • Jojoba oil
    • Vitamin E oil
    • Emulsifying wax (getting low so will go on needs list)

      • Yellow iron oxide
      • Bronze mica
      • Titanium dioxide
      • Brown iron oxide

      • Rogue red lake

    Makeup ingredients I need (top 3 are for the mascara but are also used in some of the other products):

    • Sunflower wax 100g NZD$12
    • White kaolin clay 100g NZD$10
    • Black iron oxide 100g NZD$10

  • HGD Crossroads Week 7 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 7 Action Plan

    Hey Goal Investigator. Welcome back with the Week 7 Action Plan. This week, with your action plan, you will continue to take action on your goals – one action step at a time. You will also look at your vision board. Continue to work with your happiness list, and keep up your weekly tracking.

    • Your vision board
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking 

    Your vision board

    Back when I first learnt about vision boards, you got a blank piece of paper, and you cut out pictures of what you wanted in your life. Now that technology has advanced, there are so many more options. 

    • Paper collage
    • Photo folder on your phone and computer, and watch your vision board as a slide show as you play a motivating song.
    • Pintrest
    • Other memo apps and software

    Use as many as you like, just gather images and words and graphics of what you want in your life and visualise them daily. I personally use a folder on my phone and watch them on a slide show.

    Your happiness list

    As you will know by now if you have been following along with the weekly Action Plans from week 1. Your happiness list is items that you like to do that make you happy. These can be personal care such as getting a facial or giving yourself one, doing your nails, applying a divine body lotion to your skin with your nighttime routine, Activities that make you happy such as going for a dog walk on the beach or with your partner, working on your car, building something. Crafts such as embroidery, decorating cakes, making jewellery, crocheting or knitting. Do at least one thing from your happiness list daily, as a reward for completing an action step from your goal, as a pick-me-up when you are feeling sad or stressed, or you have done one of the activities from the roadblocks or sabotages exercises.

    For my personal care this week, I bought myself a body lotion, and it smells divine, and it makes my skin feel silky soft. Next week I will be getting myself a mascara – I am torn whether to buy the ingredients to make myself one or to just buy one.

    Weekly tracking

    Continue your weekly tracking; this is where you record the action you have taken this week, what you have accomplished and how you rewarded yourself. 

    Weekly Tracking 

    • Focus of the week
    • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
    • Resources required
    • Accomplishments of the week
    • Weekly Tasks/habits
    • Weekly Notes
    • Top 3 Action Steps for next week

    This concludes this week’s action plan. If you haven’t already created a vision board, continue to do things that make you happy and track your actions. If you want help with your goal investigation, you can purchase our WhatsApp Goal Investigation support, where you can share multimedia texts with your Goal Detective. You can ask questions about something you are stuck on with your goal investigation. If you need weekly support and accountability with your goals, or anything else goal-related.

The good thing about the WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support is that it is a tool you can use on the go, and you don’t have to book in time to work with your Goal Detective.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 6 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 6 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator. How has your week been? This week, check in with how your goals are going, highlight what actions you still need to take and how you are doing emotionally. A few weeks ago in week 3, you looked at your roadblocks and sabotages; how have you been going with your triggers?

    Check in with your goals and emotions

    You would have been doing your weekly tracking; this is separate from that. This is more an informal check-in with your goals and yourself. As this will be your sixth week of taking action on your goals and your self-development, you may have had other roadblocks and sabotages raise their ugly heads. Be kind to yourself. Use one of the Roadblocks and Sabotages exercises from week 3 and then do something from your Happiness List.

    In your journal that you have been using for your HGD Crossroads work:

    • For your short-term goal, what action steps have you got outstanding?
    • If you have completed the short-term goal that you set in Week 1, have you set a new goal?
    • What negative thoughts have popped up recently?
    • How have you been working through those negative thoughts?
    • Has anything else triggered you?
    • How are you feeling about your Crossroads Journey?
    • Are you happy with the progress you have been making? Why?
    • Is there anything else you would like to record about your Crossroads Journey?

    Your happiness list

    You will be very familiar with your happiness list by now. Have you been adding to it? Have you been doing something from your happiness list daily? How about when you accomplish something from your Crossroads Journey?

    In case you are new to the happiness list, this is a list of all the things you like to do that make you happy. Each day, do something from your happiness list, as well as after you have achieved an action step from your Crossroads Journey. Another time to use your happiness list is if you need an emotional boost. 

    Last week I mentioned that I had ordered an empty makeup palette; I have since received it. I have also transferred the loose mineral foundation that I made, and pressed it into one of the empty pans. I have also transferred two of the three lipsticks I have made. I would have transferred all three, but I can’t find where I have put the third lipstick, as it was not where I thought I had put it. I now have to create a list of the other makeup products that I need, including mascara, as I have run out this week. Oh, I am on day two of wearing makeup daily. Let’s keep doing things that make us happy.

    Weekly Tracking

    By now, the weekly tracking is starting to feel naturally part of your weekly routine. Keep going with your action steps, one at a time, record what you have been doing, and keep tracking your actions. 

    Weekly tracking:

    • Focus of the week
    • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
    • Resources required
    • Accomplishments of the week
    • Weekly Tasks/habits
    • Weekly Notes
    • Top 3 Action Steps for next week

    This concludes the week 6 action plan. If you need extra support throughout the week, you can purchase the trial WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support, where you can get 15 minutes to share multimedia and text messages about your Crossroads Journey with your Goal Detective. You can ask questions, brainstorm ideas, and get another pair of eyes on your Goal Investigation. The beautiful thing about the WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support is that you don’t have to book in a time with your Goal Detective, and you can use this service on the go. The minutes are counted by the Goal Detective’s time, not the entire conversation between both parties.

    HGD Crossroads Week 5 Action Plan

    Welcome to week 5 Goal Investigator. This week you are going to review the previous month and set the plan for this month, review your happiness list and continue your weekly tracking.

    • Monthly Plan
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking 

    Review your month

    At the end of each month, it is a good idea to review the month that has been; this makes it easier to set the plan for the coming month. Also it lets you reflect on what you achieved and the direction you are taking. You will find this monthly review easier if you have been doing your weekly tracking.  

    • What was the focus for the month?
    • What action steps were you meant to take?
    • What action steps did you actually take?
    • What action steps did you do instead of something from your list?
    • What action steps did you not take? Why?
    • What worked this month?
    • What did not work this month?
    • What will you do differently next month?
    • What will you not do again?
    • Is there anything else you need to note about this month?

    The plan for next month

    Now that you have reviewed last month, it is time to plan for the coming month. This way you will know what needs to be achieved and the actions you need to take. 

    • What is the focus for this month?
    • What goals and projects do you have active?
    • What goals and projects do you want to start this month?
    • What are your top 3 action steps
    • For your current and new goals and projects what action steps do you need to achieve this month?
    • Describe what it would look like by the end of the month to have had a successful month?

    Your happiness list

    By now you will be familiar with your happiness list. Have you been doing something from your happiness list daily? What about when you achieve action steps from your goals? Is there anything else that you want to add to your happiness list?

    This week I got home from a 10-day trip to Wellington; this was a good, refreshing break. I have also refocused on my self-care, cleansing and exfoliating my face regularly, and applying a moisturiser daily. Also, I have been focusing on breaking the habit of picking my nails and have bought myself a nail varnish. I am on week 4, and already most of my nails have reached a tidy short length. 

    Something I want to add to my daily happiness list is to do my makeup daily. To enhance the probability of me following through with this I have just ordered an empty makeup palette so that I can have my main products easily accessible. And I can use the book “Make It Up” by Marie Rayma to make more of my products. I already have lipstick and mineral foundation; next I would like to make eyeshadow in 3 to 4 shades and blusher, highlighter and bronzer. This may sound like a goal, but it makes me happy so I am adding it to my happiness list.
