Writing a goal down on paper has always been recommended by experts as the best way to use all your resources for achieving the goal.

Writing the goal incorporates all your three brains or centers of intelligence. This is especially true when using my goal planning form that is free to download.

As you think through the goal planning process you use your intellectual brain to think through each component of the goal.

As you write and think of the benefits you engage your heart brain or emotional center of intelligence. The visualization and affirmations section further stimulate the emotions.

The act of writing the goal incorporates the physical or instinctive brain and the section on acting is where this movement center will know what to do through your instinctive nature.
