Step 4: Make the goals measurable.

Step 5: Pull Out the Verbs

Strength

enjoy walking
move comfortably
benefit and eat
sleep rest dream
develop and control
soften and relax
flex and extend

Step 6: Write 8 health goals using vivid action words and joints or parts of the body doing the action

Motion
walk enjoy move
smile in motion
energetically walk dance bicycle
gobble colorful vegetables crunch munch down proteins
lay quietly dream vigorously achieve momentum
orchestrate muscles like a symphony
soften lower calm shoulders
bend back and forth here and there with ease

Step 7: Write 8 goals using sensory words like red, soft, or tingling.

Balance and Flexibility
walk gently strongly balanced
over uneven surfaces
smile eyes twinkling in motion
walk energetically
dance robust
bicycle round and round
gobble red apples green avocados yellow orange squash
a rainbow of vegetables
munch down cashews tortillas stir fried
shhh quietly sleeping dreaming
sunny warm dream delightful blue and green peaceful dreams
orchestrate strong muscles
demand cooperation
bask in the loyalty of muscles following directions
shoulders sigh getting out from under the burden
tingling with success
bend back and forth soft and flexible
like green swaying bamboo

Step 8: Add something to your "poem" about the mind or brain, what you are thinking as you accomplish your goal.

Step 9: Write a poem as if you are describing yourself or another person doing the action.

Mind’s Eye Imagery
walking balanced
taking wide steps
sporting a twinkling smile
moving energetically
dancing robust
bicycling round and round
circulating dopamine
sleeping dreaming delightfully
flexing strong muscles
demanding cooperation
shoulders relaxing
tingling with success
bending back and forth soft and flexible

Step 10: Write goal and a “poem” as if you have accomplished one of your goals.

Noticing Changes
Last week I started noticing the difference
strength balance on uneven surfaces

smiling I recall how far I have come
motion smooth and easy for me now

anything I want abundant energy walks dances and bicycles
around me as I move through the world

Red apples green avocadoes yellow orange squash
a rainbow of vegetables satisfy me as I dream

I remember last night's dream
vivid colors words swirling movements flowing like silk

in dreams and life I am master of my destiny
movement walking running even

head sitting on neck on shoulders strong
flexible bamboo green and healthy

better today than yesterday
I walk

Step 11: Notice what has changed in how you walk. Reevaluate. Walk and feel. How has each step changed?

Step 12: Post your final visualization or “poem” to the community board. Declare your vivid vision of the future.
