I really liked the visual this picture painted! Not only are we covered in the Armor of God, but we're heading in to battle to slay our goals! We are conquiring fears of the unknown, self doubt, and making good positive things happen!
Two weeks ago I began a blog series called "Evaluating the Past Year and Setting Goals Moving Forward." Last week, I began breaking down 3 of the 7 areas below.
1). Fitness
2). Finance
3). Family
4). Field
5). Faith
6). Friends
7). Fun
That post can be found at "Slaying our Goals" Moving on with numbers 4 through 7 today complete with our oils to help us!
Now, when you're thinking of your field, that's equivalent to your occupation, or your job. I would like to get some Highest Potential on my body, so I'm going to apply a drop on my crown (Place your hand on the top of your head and slide it down approximately 1.5-2 inches down the back side of your head. That's your crown.) And I'm going to place a drop of Magnify Your Purpose in my hand, rub together between my hands in a clockwise rotation, cup over my nose, and inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds--repeating as many times as I need to.
Additionally, I'm going to add Motivation Essential Oil Blend to my Haven Diffuser to help me move through these goals quickly and easily.
FIELD--This is truly adjustable so you can make it your own. In my field, I educate people on the uses of essential oils and all 600+ products made from toxin free plant based materials. Because they work so extremely well for me and for my family, it makes no sense to be quiet about my find!
S-Specific Goals--Share the YL products, how to use them, and educate folks on their uses to thousands of people.
M-Measureable--Yes!
A-Attainable--Yes!
R-Relevant--Yes, every single product is relevant, helpful in a variety of situations, and with all kinds of people's needs.
T-Time Bound--Assess monthly.

*~*Because I shared about the Young Living Business, as a part of Policies and Proceedures, I need to share the Income Disclosure Guide for 2020 as well as the Compensation Plan.*~*
Take a look at them and let me know if you have any questions!
Now, moving on to the next one--Faith. I love this particular area of setting goals! I begin this by simply praying. I anoint my head with Abundance Essential Oil Blend while praying. I add a drop in to my hands and cup it over my nose and mouth. You could do this with any of the Oils of Ancient Scripture as well.
Add 4 drops of Hyssop and 2 drops of Citrus Fresh to your Lantern Diffuser and just sit quietly in prayer for a few minutes.
I have found that when I do this, praising and thanking God for His goodness, guidance, and direction, He guides my steps and shows me areas where HE wants to bring me closer to Him!
How awesome is that?!
Alright, let's begin...
FAITH--This is truly adjustable so you can make it your own.
S-Specific Goals--I would like to purposely make more prayer time.
M-Measureable--I guess I could measure this by how much closer I feel to my Abba Father. (Yes, some goals are like this).
A-Attainable--Absolutely!
R-Relevant--As I move along through this life "earth side", I"m finding more and more people to pray for. In my "Field" above, every single one of those thousands of people will find their names on my prayer list as well as each of their families, their finances, their physical/mental/spiritual health as well. This is one of those areas that cross over in to others, so it's important to recognise that and embrace it!
T-Time Bound--2022 and beyond, continually adding more people to my list.
This is only "one" goal in my Faith area, so rest assured there are many others!
FRIENDS--This is truly adjustable so you can make it your own.
S-Specific Goals--Find special and precious things to do for 12 friends that not only speaks their love language, but also is specific to them.
M-Measureable--One thing--whatever that is--per friend for 2022. Or it could be one action for all 12 monthly or quarterly. More prayer for guidance and direction in this is necessary. It's likely going to look like, "God please show me how I can show YOUR love to _____ in this season!"
A-Attainable--Yes! It requires listening and studying my dear sweet friends, their hopes and desires.
R-Relevant--Absolutely! Everyone loves getting together, getting something in the mail, & etc "just because."
T-Time Bound--Reassess and adjust as needed.
There are a host of things you could do with these goals! I know for me, I've been lacking in the Fun area, at least I've felt that way lately, so I've set the goal to do something fun once a month! Does that mean the same thing each month? No!

FUN--This is truly adjustable so you can make it your own.
S-Specific Goals--Do something fun monthly! (Birthday Party, Serving on a Missions Project, Taking our Grandson to the Aquarium or Zoo, Hiking, or Walking Trails at one of the state parks.)
M-Measureable--12 fun things monthly. We could do it weekly, but that depends on the budget.
A-Attainable--Yes!
R-Relevant--Yes!
T-Time Bound--Reassess and adjust if needed in 2 weeks. (This is truly my own saving grace because sometimes things change).
So there you have all 7 of the areas of setting goals that I work on throughout the year. Notice the reassessing every 2 weeks is truly what happens. It helps me to nip and tuck, expand or scrap until a later date as needed.
What are some of the goals you're thinking of right now? Don't wait to make the resolution because those will be broken usually within the first few weeks of the year. Set some realistic goals and use the S.M.A.R.T. system of setting goals and see how much MORE you accomplish!
