Take the overwhelm out of your Crossroads Journey

Learn how to investigate your goals and take the overwhelm out of navigating the crossroads you are currently at, whether that’s in your career, your life, your relationships, or even how you manage your money. This video will step you through getting a look at your life now. Idea Playground of your paths you are exploring. Then you will set up your first short-term goal.

Get a snapshot of your life now

So that you know where you want to go, you will first need to know where you are right now. So in your journal, or if you are part of the HGD Crossroads Program, use the Life Assessment and Reflection Worksheet.

How satisfied are you with your Wealth Life Area: that is your career/job/occupation or business, what you do with your money, any debt that you have, and any savings or investments that you may have.

You will use a scale from 1 (most satisfied) to 5 (least satisfied) [on-screen text: the Satisfaction scale]. And next, how important is your Wealth Life Area to you? 1 being the most important and 5 being the least important.

How satisfied are you with your Relationship life area: this is all of your relationships – family, friends, partner, workmates. Using the same scale, rate how satisfied you are. Now, how important are your relationships to you?

Finally, you will look at your wellbeing life area: this encompasses your health and fitness, your overall wellbeing, your living conditions, what you do in your free time, how relaxed you are, and your feeling of being in control of your life.

Once you have this snapshot, take a few moments to journal a reflection. How do you feel about where your holistic life is right now? What do you want to change? What area of your life are you happy with right now? What area of your life needs attention right now?

Idea Playground

Now that you know where you are, we can start brainstorming where you want to go, or the crossroads that you are at. This will help you with the next step, where you will plan your first short-term goal or trial Crossroads path.

On a fresh page in your journal or in the Idea Playground worksheet, either create a mind map or free-write your thoughts. From your life snapshot, what do you want to explore more? Do you have an idea of what your short-term goal will be? Just dump all of your thoughts out of your brain and onto the page. This will help to free up your brain and help you to gather your thoughts about what you want to achieve.

Your short-term goal roadmap

Now that you know where you are in life, and you have dumped your thoughts, let’s get the goal details fleshed out.

1. Give your goal a title
2. Describe your goal
3. When do you want to achieve your goal? The goal deadline.
4. What does goal success look like? How will you know you have achieved your goal?
