Manifesting Made Simple: How to Use Energy Focus to Achieve Your Goals
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas | Author, Doctor, Spiritual Coach
As you step into the year ahead, it’s time to set powerful, aligned goals across all areas of your life.
By focusing on seven key life segments—Family & Relationships, Career & Work, Money & Finances, Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Education, Fun & Adventure, Spirituality & Ethics—you can create a balanced and fulfilling life not just for the year ahead but for many years to come.
The key is to identify where to focus your energy and align with the version of yourself who has already achieved your goals.

Set Goals Aligned with Your 7 Life Segments
Take a moment, find a quiet space, and grab a piece of paper. Write down a goal for each of your seven life segments:
-
-
- Family and Relationships – How do you want to deepen your connections?
- Career and Work – What would bring more meaning and purpose to your work?
- Money and Finances – What financial abundance do you wish to create?
- Health and Wellbeing – How can you nurture your body, mind, and spirit?
- Learning and Education – What skills or knowledge will enrich your life?
- Fun and Adventure – How will you invite more joy and exploration into your life?
- Spirituality and Ethics – How will you live in greater harmony with your values and your Higher Self?
-
Now pause for a moment. Look at the goals you’ve written.
What’s Holding You Back?
Be honest with yourself. Write down the thoughts and feelings that arise when you look at these goals.
These are the “yeah-buts” that go through your mind:
-
-
- “Yeah, but I don’t have enough time…”
- “Yeah, but I’m not ready for this…”
- “Yeah, but I’ve tried before and failed…”
- “Yeah, but what if I don’t succeed?”
-
It’s natural to feel doubt or resistance. Often, it’s fear of failure or the belief that you’re not enough.
These thoughts are not the truth of who you are—they’re illusions keeping you from stepping into your potential.
