The Z.V.I.N.A.I.Y.E Method
Z ➜ Ground Zero
Ground Zero: Know Where You Are Starting From
At this moment, do you know exactly what your assets are? Are you aware
of your true abilities, your potential for growth, and your successes of the past, no matter how small? If you’re not, take inventory of yourself. To know where you’re going and how to get there, you must first know yourself.
V ➜ Vision
There’s Hebrew wisdom that declares, “Without a vision, the people perish.” It’s the same concept that is sometimes parsed, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll likely end up somewhere else.”
Do you feel like you are walking through your life in the dark? That you have no clear vision or direction and that you are just going around in circles? Do you feel lost? If so, you are not alone. Most people feel like that at some point in their lives. Creating a vision statement can help. I will help set a vision for your life.
I ➜ Information
Not one day goes by where we do not have to make a decision. Some decisions are completely innate and require very little thought. Deciding what to wear, what to eat for lunch or which route to take to work are not the type of life-altering decisions that people dwell on. While these are “no-brainers” for most people, those who tend to overthink every minute detail of their lives can find it difficult to make such decisions. These people tend to feel overwhelmed by the decision-making process. With the right information, you can be more decisive and make better decisions .
N ➜ Non Negotiables
Do you ever feel like you compromise yourself? Are your happiness and success secondary? There are things in your life that need to be non-negotiable.
By setting clear daily non-negotiables, you are able to take charge of your day and, ultimately, guide the path of your life.
It is up to you to determine your own non-negotiables for your life. Your non-negotiables are unique to you, your lifestyle, your boundaries, and your values.
That said, there are some daily non-negotiables that tend to be universally helpful for daily success, productivity, health, and overall well-being.
A ➜ Action Steps
Achieving goals is powerful and affects our success in life. When we dare to dream about what we truly desire and set goals in that direction, a powerful shift happens. Life is now lived with greater direction and purpose. And once those goals are achieved, confidence builds, and not only do we feel a sense of accomplishment, but we want to succeed even more.
Goals that we properly set, write down and focus on daily can be achieved faster and easier. Your Action steps help you succeed in fulfilling your desires.
I ➜ Intentions Why?
Think about an end goal. What do you want your life to look like? What type of man or woman do you want to be? What do you want your family to look like? What would you like your career to be? Picture it and see it in vivid detail.
Y ➜ You
The key to achieving goals is winning before the battle is won, and crafting the internal and external environment that brings out the result you’re going for — so the result happens naturally.
No monumental effort is required, though you’ll become the superman or woman that you need to become to achieve the goal if you follow a few of the planning principles in this article.
Being and acting as though we deserve it is what will lead to the behaviour that attracts the fulfilment of our goals.
Use that strategy for your goals and watch yourself become the person you need to achieve any goal you want.
E ➜ Excel
Ever wonder how to excel in life when so much feels like it’s out of your control? It’s difficult not to feel stuck in indecision (and even give up on your big dreams and goals) when your life is disrupted in ways you never thought possible. And unfortunately, there’s plenty of disruption in the world (global pandemic, anyone?).
But just because your original plans have been interrupted (maybe even upended) doesn’t mean that you have to give up or start over. What you need is to course correct, which is primarily an internal thing.
Because you can excel in life no matter what’s going on. I will give you important life tips to help you excel in life so that you don’t get stuck when the unexpected happens (no matter how bad or difficult) but instead stay focused, productive and happy.
