At the January 2022 MTMN Executive Buffet, Speaker, Rajika Mahan, presented “Mastering Your Goals and Mindset”. 

Rajika started with a simple exercise, leaving us to find our way through a maze of numbers. We completed the exercise twice – once with no guidance or formula from Rajika, then once again after Rajika provided the formula. Of course, we were all much more successful once she had given us the formula.

It was a simple metaphor with a big impact. Of course, there may not be a formula for everything but Rajika guided us through how to get started.

The Importance of Awareness  

She began where we all begin, with awareness. “As we are aware of what we are thinking and what actions we are creating after we think, it’s going to impact everything,” she stated. “ If we don’t have awareness, if we don’t have the information, how are we going to change the results… The key is shifting your thinking” 

Rajika suggests asking big questions which for many of us means asking questions differently. Look for signals of growth in life: longing and discontent. These signals, according to the speaker, are nudges from the universe or a higher power, pushing individuals to grow and expand. If you listen,  longing or discontent can inform you of when you want more in any area of the list. 

Rajika reminded us, “The quality of the life we have is based on the quality of the questions we ask.”Then she suggested we ask questions such as “How long have I been in this state?” and “What is it costing me?” She provided a worksheet with five areas to grade such as health and relationships, then she guided us through an assessment of our current longing. 

Deciding on A Vision

With a clear awareness of your thoughts which effect your feelings, which, in turn, effect your actions, you can begin to make more informed decisions. Before taking action, ask, “Where are my thoughts?” or “How am I feeling?” Rajika suggests. “Notice what you’re noticing,” she says. Then get clear about what you want to change your results.

Start with a clear vision. Rajika walked us through “putting on our future self” by having us envision our success in 3 years. Anything sooner, she said, would be too soon to provide the freedom to dream. We asked ourselves, “What would I love?” Then Rajika walked us through common challenges that block us from getting to what we would love.

Paradigms such as fear and doubt cause us to delay, distracted, and dissuade ourselves from change. They keep us comfortable and make it difficult to grow. Rajika suggests journaling, in detail, to befriend fear and other paradigms. Her advice is to thank them for showing up and doing their job then let them go. She reminded us, that we can accept or reject a thought with our conscious minds but our subconscious minds cannot. The subconscious mind does not know what is real from what is imagined. 

If you’re struggling to stay on track with your goals, connect with Rajika Mahan to reconnect with your vision regularly and stay motivated.
