PSYCHOLOGICAL STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR 2006

Psychological Strategic Planning is a key essential to a quality of life. My favorite saying is the PSP (psychological strategic planning) is better than ESP (extra-sensory perception)! What is so special about PSP? 

Psychological Strategic Planning allows you to: 

• Identify and modify your goals,

• Develop a plan to reach your goals,

• Identify and remove any barriers to your goals,

• Assess the balance in your life,

• Learn new strategies to enhance your life, and

• Engage in “healthy selfish” behaviors.

How unrealistic individuals are to expect to have a quality of life with no time set aside for adequate planning! On a daily basis, life tasks eat up our time and leave individuals tired and often frustrated. A quality of life requires the self-discipline to carve out the time to assess and plan your life. 

Healthy Selfish behaviors are self-care behaviors. If you allow yourself to be depleted, you have less to offer everyone. Once you obtain and maintain clarity of direction with specific goals and a strategy to reach those goals, you are increasing the quality of your life. 

Time is a precious commodity. A commodity that an individual cannot purchase at any price! The well-planned life is the well-lived life. Often, patients will verbalize that the “don’t know what happened with the time” and regret missed opportunities.
