Goal Setting Template
If you have been following this blog, I have been creating posts centered around Goal Setting. Let’s just say that you have read my first two blogs and you are ready to start putting your goals to paper, yet you still do not know where to start! Goal setting sometimes can be overwhelming for a person who has never done it before. So you ask the questions, where do I write my goals at & what do I write down on paper for my goals?
Recently, I have been reading a book titled, “Change Your Brain, Change Your Body written by Dr. Daniel G. Amen. He created something called the One Page Miracle.
In His book he said, “Created focused. Written goals. The PFC is involved in planning and forethought. It needs clear direction. I have my patients do an exercise called the One-Page Miracle (OPM) because it makes such a dramatic difference in the lives of those who practice it.” (Dr. Amen, 2010)
Steps to Creating Your One-Page Miracle
- Get A Pen & Piece of Paper
- Write Down Specific Goals For Your Life
- Write Them in the Following Categories (Health, Relationships, Work & Money)
- Keep the Paper With You so you can write down ideas and goals as they come
If you want to you can add some more categories and sub-categories to it. Below is an example of what someone could write in the spaces.
MY ONE PAGE MIRACLE
What Do I Want For My Life?
RELATIONSHIPS- to have a deep connection to those who I love

I also want to maintain a loving, romantic, intimate, deep, gentle, nurturing, caring, blissful relationship with my husband/Wife (Put Your Husband or Wife’s Name Here).

In my free time, I will go and volunteer at a homeless shelter in my attempt to give back to the community. Start my own business and hire a consultant.
***Tip: If you are an employee you can write something about being to work at time, completing all tasks on time in the spirit of excellence, climbing the corporate ladder, getting a higher paid raises, getting along with co-workers, pleasing your managers, volunteering and other things.
