And many NLP specialists will also add that our brain does not understand negative statements. So, in the previous examples, what our mind hears is:<\/p>\n<p><em>I want to be fat.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I want to be stressed.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I want to be single.<\/em> And so on&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As you see, all the above goals sound negative. So, naturally, our organism will prevent us from pursuing the above goals as they could be &#8220;harmful&#8221; for us.<\/p>\n<p>And our task here is to form and state our goals using <strong>positive statements.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1729 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mycitycoach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Words-for-your-goal-statement-my-city-coach-natalie_lifecoach-.jpg\" alt=\"Words for your goal statement mycitycoach natalie_lifecoach\" width=\"1200\" height=\"773\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Positive goal statements.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get back to our examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of saying <em>&#8220;I don\u2019t want to be fat&#8221;<\/em>, a positive Coaching version of this goal would be <em>\u201cmy goal is to have xx weight by xx time, have a healthy lifestyle and to be happy with my body\u201d.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;I don\u2019t want to be stressed when I speak in public&#8221;<\/em> vs. \u201cMy goal is to feel confidence when I speak in public\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;I don\u2019t want to be single&#8221;<\/em> vs. <em>\u201cMy goal is to have a happy fulfilling relationship\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you see the difference?<\/p>\n<p>Thus, a correct goal statement is an important step in a Coaching process. At the beginning of a Coaching cooperation we state your goal <strong>positively,<\/strong> then we make it very <strong>specific<\/strong>, and after that we start working on it.
