To give you an idea, here are a few examples of short-term goals: Reading 10 pages a day, mediating and exercising for 30 minutes, waking up early and going to bed on time, saving money for a vacation, or choosing to eat healthier. A couple examples of long-term goals could be buying a house in the future, pursue a higher education in college, starting your own business, increase your level of fitness, or starting a family of your own.

'As If' Technique
What is the "as if" technique? The "as if" technique is an exercise that utilizes the power of action. For example, when you act "as if" you are confident. When you act "as if" you are happy, you will start feeling that way. Your mental state will start to change when your body and its actions change. It sounds simple, right? Well, that's because it really is THAT simple. The hardest part of this technique/principle is convincing yourself to do it.
