Hey Bluedragon

You main keyphrase should be 2-3 words long - rarely 4 and never 5 or more. In this case, very few people are going to type "Being Congruent With Your Intentions and Goals" (7 words!) into a search engine.

Also it needs to appear in the title as soon as possible, not after "Healing Your Reality Part 2", so you will need to rethink this format for the series. The keyword really needs to be in the first and last 90 characters of the page. Otherwise you are not giving your article the best chance possible of being found.

If you do go for a long-winded phrase (we're still talking 5 words max) you don't have to use it as often in the text. It will be such an unusual phrase that Google will pick it up easier in fewer repetitions.

The filename should be exactly the same as your main keyphrase, with dashes for spaces.

As for finding the right keywords, I recommend you go to your SBI Master Keyword List and look at the most profitable keyphrases on there. That list is very important, (I doubt "Being Congruent With Your Intentions and Goals" was on there!) and will make all the difference to your traffic since SEO is so critical to your success at this stage.

I'm not sure I can come up with the right example for you, but if I were to stab in the dark, I'd say "How To Set Your Goals" or "How To Follow Your Goals" would be more searchable.
