setting creative goals with soul

As a creative who is immersed with my own art making ventures  it is important that I take the time to be clear on what I want, what matters and what doesn’t.  Since we are on the cusp of spring, I am taking time to revisit my intentions and goals for my creative practice.   I have found in the past when I did not take the time to “feel” my way into my intentions the grounding doesn’t happen and I end disappointed and a bit frazzled at the end of the year.  

I talk a lot about the importance of setting some intentions and goals in relation to your creative practice.  Today, I wanted to share a tool that I use to make sure that I keep on track with what I have set for the year, quarter, month or week.   One of the methods I have been working for the last four years with is the Desire Mapping process, which helps identify the “feelings” you want to experience with all aspect of your life, rather than tangible, concrete resolutions or goals for any given year.  As a creative individual, this process appeals to me because it allows me to look at major goals and opportunities based more on energy/vibes than a check mark for my resume.  The Desire Mapping process focuses on  “Core Desired Feelings” or CDFs that you identify after a fairly lengthy process which focuses on what you want to feel about all aspects of your life.. At the end of the year, I completed my CDFs for this year and much of what I decide to engage in or be informed by will be based on these CDFs.  

I also use the Desire Map planner to review my progress toward my goals and make sure that my CDFs are in alignment with my plans for the week, month or quarter.  The planners are very attractive and provides helpful quotes and prompts to guide you in making the best decisions that align with what you desire to feel.  

What process do you use for setting intentions or goals?  How do you track them?  Do you use any special planners or guiding imagery or words to keep you on track?  Please share in the comments.
