First Hour: Mastering SMART Goals Dive deep into goal-setting that sticks! We'll start by exploring the psychology of planning—from scientific insights on how our brains are wired for structure and foresight, to biblical principles like Proverbs 16:3 ("Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans"). Discover why we're naturally designed to envision and execute. Next, we'll unpack the stats: Learn how SMART goals outperform traditional goal-setting by up to 42% in completion rates (based on research from goal achievement studies), and what key factors—like specificity and accountability—skyrocket success. Then, we'll break down SMART(ER) goals: What makes them effective (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound, plus Evaluated and Reviewed for the "ER" boost), with real examples of good vs. bad goals to avoid common pitfalls. It's go time! You'll write out 5-10 personalized SMART goals for 2026, tailored to your life. Wrap up with a group review and share session, followed by a short break to recharge.
Second Hour: Crafting Your Vision Board Shift into visualization mode! We'll examine the psychology behind vision boards, blending neuroscience on how imagery activates the brain's reticular activating system for focus and motivation, with biblical truths like Habakkuk 2:2 ("Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it"). Statistically speaking, vision boards can boost goal achievement by 20-30% (per visualization studies), enhancing clarity and emotional drive. Get practical: We'll guide you on how to create a powerful vision board, including what you'll need—magazines, scissors, glue sticks, poster boards, markers, and inspirational images (a full materials list will be provided in advance, and some supplies will be available on-site). Hands-on creation time: Build your epic 2026 vision board step by step! End with an open Q&A, plus actionable next steps to integrate your goals and board into daily life for lasting momentum.
