    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

    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)
    • Vegetable glycerine
    • Broad spectrum preservative
    • Pigments:
      • Red iron oxide
      • Yellow iron oxide
      • Bronze mica
      • Titanium dioxide
      • Brown iron oxide
      • Blue ultramarine
      • 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
    • Arrowroot starch
    • Magnesium myristate
    • Calcium carbonate
    • Emulsifying wax

    If you are interested, I am using the recipes from the book Make It Up by Marie Rayma. Here is the affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4cIzdTY, and I got started with the lipstick kit https://www.gonative.co.nz/products/lipstick-kit?variant=49653416689947 and mineral foundation kit https://www.gonative.co.nz/products/mineral-foundation-kit from Go Native.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 4 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 4 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator. Thank you for coming back. This week you will review your Crossroads Journey to see where you are and what you have achieved so far. You will envision what your life will look like in six years. You will also look at what you want to achieve in the next twelve months, then break it down into what you want to achieve in the next 3 months and break that down further into what you want to achieve in the coming month.

    This week the action plan covers:

    • Review your Crossroads Journey
    • Idea Playground 6 Year Time – Envisioning your future
    • The Quarterly Plan
    • The Monthly Plan
    • Your Next 3 Action Steps
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking 

    Review your Crossroads Journey

    It is a good idea to review your Crossroads Journey frequently and keep following the Weekly Action Plans; you will be guided on when you next need to review your Crossroads Journey. You will need your weekly tracking and the document where you keep your Crossroads goal notes.

    • What have you been focusing on?
    • What action steps have you set yourself over the last 3 weeks?
    • What actions have you taken so far?
    • What actions did you take instead?
    • What action did you not take?
    • What have you got outstanding?
    • How did you celebrate your achievements?
    • What will you be focusing on next?

    Your happiness list

    Keep adding to your happiness list and keep doing activities that make you happy daily. Also, as you achieve milestones on your journey, do something from your happiness list. Have a variety of activities on your list, with different costs so that there is always something you can do that makes you happy. Or even when you want a break from taking action on your goals. Just keep a balance between doing what you need to do to achieve your goals and what you want to do to make you happy.

    Envisioning your future

    Use an Idea Playground mind map and free writing exercise to envision what you want your life to look like in six years. As you envision what your future looks like, think about your holistic life. Your holistic life encompasses your financial, relationships, and wellbeing life areas. Think about:

    • Everything you want in your holistic life.
    • What does your financial life look like? 
    • Who is in your life? Who is your partner? 
    • What is your relationship like? 
    • Where do you live? 
    • What does your house look like?

    The next twelve months

    Now that you know what you want your life to look like in six years, what do you want to achieve in the next twelve months? You can break it down into quarters or use an Idea Playground. As you do this exercise you may need to review what you want to achieve in six years, and work out what you need to achieve in the next twelve months to start making what you envisioned real.

    The quarterly plan

    It is time to start getting the details fleshed out. You will now plan what you want to achieve in the next three months. As part of your quarterly plan, you will also plan what you need to achieve in the next month. 

    • What is the focus for this quarter?
    • What does success look like for you this quarter?
    • What are your top 3 action steps?
    • What do you want to focus on in months 1, 2, and 3?

    The monthly plan

    In this exercise, you will expand your focus from the quarterly plan and flesh it out into an actionable monthly plan. 

    • What other action steps do you need to achieve and when do you need to complete them?
    • What is the focus of the next month?
    • What does success look like for you this month?
    • What resources do you need this month?
    • What action steps do you need to take this month, and when do you need to take them by?
    • Out of these action steps, what are your top three action steps?

    The weekly plan

    Last week you were introduced to the weekly plan; you will continue to use the format to create your weekly plans.

    • What is the focus for the week?
    • What are your top 3 action steps?
    • What other action steps do you need to take?
    • What resources do you need for your action steps?
    • What appointments do you have this week?

    Weekly Tracking

    Continuing your weekly tracking will make it easier for you when you do your monthly and quarterly reviews as well as to keep you accountable for your actions. Also, it will help you on the days when you are feeling overwhelmed to see how far you have come.

    • 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

    Now that you have reviewed your journey so far, updated your happiness, envisioned your future and worked out what you want to achieve this week, go and start taking action. If you need help, you can book in for a 1:1 video Goal Investigation Session or purchase WhatsApp Goal Investigation Support.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 3 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 3 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator. This week we are looking at your roadblocks and sabotages. As you go through this week’s Action Plan, be kind to yourself, and have your happiness list handy. Identifying your roadblocks and sabotages is important to help you work through them and find solutions and other ways of thinking. 

    This week’s plan will cover:

    • Idea Playground – Roadblocks and Sabotages
    • Deeper Investigation into your roadblocks and sabotages
    • Your next 3 Action Steps
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking 

    Idea Playground: Sabotages and Roadblocks

    In your journal or HGD Crossroads Module 3: Roadblocks Action Guide, use an Idea Playground exercise to investigate your roadblocks and sabotages. Use a mind map first to gather your thoughts and start the investigation into what is holding you back, creating a roadblock on your path, and sabotages that keep cropping up in your life. Then follow this with a free writing exercise to continue to dump your thoughts. 

    Your Happiness List

    Last week you created your happiness list, and you would have started to frequently do an activity that makes you happy. While you work through your sabotages and roadblocks this week, use the happiness list when you need a break working through your sabotages and roadblocks.

    Deeper Investigation into your roadblocks and sabotages

    In this exercise, we will take the work that you have done in the Idea Playground and expand on it. Examine each sabotage or roadblock and follow the steps for this investigation.

    • What was the activating event or trigger?
    • What are your thoughts and beliefs about the activating event?
    • What are the consequences of the activating event and your thoughts and beliefs?
    • What evidence is there to support and show doubt about your beliefs around the activating event?
    • What alternative possibilities are there and what evidence is there to suggest it might be true?
    • Is your belief balanced, extreme, or inflexible?
    • Is my belief helpful or problematic?
    • If your belief is true, how much does it matter?
    • What can you do to evaluate if your belief is true?
    • If your belief is true, what is the most constructive way you can respond to it?
    • How can you change the thought so that it is not so extreme or inflexible?

    Your weekly plan

    To set your week up for success, plan what you want to achieve. This will also help with the weekly tracking as you can compare what you set and what you actually completed.

    • What is the focus for the week?
    • What are your top 3 action steps?
    • What other action steps do you need to take?
    • What resources do you need for your action steps?
    • What appointments do you have this week?

    Weekly Tracking

    Continue to track your progress as you have been for the last two weeks. This will help you to see your progress as you go, plus to see if you start to wonder if you are making any progress.

    • 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

    Now that you have done work on your sabotages and roadblocks, go and do something from your happiness list. If you want to work with me 1:1, then you can book in for an In-Person (if you are in Whangarei area), or a video Goal Investigation Session. Or you can purchase WhatsApp Goal Investigation support, where you will be able to get support with text, video or voice messages.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 2 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 2 Action Plan

    Hey Goal Investigator, welcome to week 2. This week you will evaluate your crossroads paths, create your happiness list, set your next three action steps, and track your weekly activity. Last week you did your life assessment, and that gave you a picture of where you are starting from on your crossroads journey. You also set a short-term goal and you would have started to take action. 

    • Idea Playground – Evaluate your Crossroads path
    • Your Happiness List
    • Your next 3 Action Steps
    • Weekly Tracking 

    Idea Playground – Evaluate your Crossroads Paths

    In your journal or Crossroads Quarterly Planner, use an Idea Playground mind map and free writing to gather all of your thoughts and feelings and ideas about the crossroads that you are deliberating. 

    Think about:

    • What are your different crossroads paths?
    • What are the advantages of the different paths you are considering?
    • What are the disadvantages of the different paths?
    • What actions do you need to take for each path?
    • Why do you want to consider exploring this path further?
    • Which path do you want to explore first?
    • Give your chosen path a timeframe to trial.

    Your Happiness List

    As we get busy 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. 

    Items on your happiness list could be things like: self-care – giving yourself a facial, getting your nails, giving yourself a mani/pedi, 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…

    When you tick off an activity from your crossroads journey, choose an item from your happiness list. And at least once a week, do an activity from your list to bring happiness into your life.

    Top 3 Action Steps for the week

    If you only get 3 things done, what are the top 3 action steps you need to do this week? Make sure you add these action steps to your diary. Also make sure you add a deadline for when the tasks need to be done by.

    Weekly Tracking

    Part of achieving success with your goals is tracking your progress. If you also need accountability, join us over at HGD Crossroads Module 1: Basics, which is the free module. There is the full module guided action plan, group discussion threads, and a weekly tracking form where, for the first 4 weeks, you can get 1 Goal Investigation session answered.

    Weekly tracking:

    • Focus of the week
    • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
    • Resources required
    • Accomplishments of the week
