Now you have written your list of goals, why don't you take a few minutes to relax, sit down with your lists and start to use your imagination. Practice imagining what it will be like to have achieved all of those goals, short, medium and long term. Try to picture yourself after you have achieved them.
How will it be? How have things changed? Don't just create a visual picture and focus on how you look, but use all your senses. Maybe you feel different or even sound different; perhaps other people respond to you differently. Use your imagination to create a powerful vision of what life will be like when you have reached your goals. Having well defined goals and a belief in your ability to achieve them will already start to help you beat stress.
Stress is a medical condition and it can have a serious effect on your health. If you think you are suffering from stress it is crucial that you consult a medical professional.
