The use of a vision board was popularized by the movie “The Secret” and it’s focus on the Law of Attraction. This law had been used and kept secret for many years by some of the wealthiest people in the country.
The movie educated more of us about the benefits of using a positive belief system to attract what we want in life.
Since the movie aired, thousands of us, have experiences success in many areas of life – beyond the measure of financial wealth.
Creating a vision board was the first step in achieving success. We stated what we want for ourselves in life.
Today I will share two powerful techniques to use with the vision board: Visualization and Affirmations.
Practice one or both of these techniques daily to ensure success.
Visualization
“Visualizing is daydreaming with a purpose.” Bo Bennett
Create your day in advance – take a moment in the morning with your calendar in front of you and visualize how everything that day will go according to your plan, the plan you established to make your dreams come true.
With your vision board in hand, sit in a comfortable position, take a deep breath and relax. Picture in your mind a goal on your board with all of the details, sights, and sounds that this vision encompasses. Picture your exact vision happening just the way you imagined.
Who is with you? What are you feeling?
What are you doing?
What will you accomplish each day to make your dream come true?
Affirmations
“Every thought we think is creating our future.” Louis L. Hay
Every thought or statement we make is an affirmation. Whether the thought is positive or negative, it affirms a belief to be true for you.
The purpose of writing and using affirmations is to create of list of positive statements will reinforce and inspire you to achieve your dreams.
A few guidelines to create you affirmations are:
– Use positive language, stated in the present tense
– Make them short and specific
– Use action words
– Make them personal
Some of my affirmations are:
– I feel and look great.
– I give my self permission to be powerful.
– I attract all the right people to work with me in business.
– I experience abundance and prosperity in my life.
– I communicate often and openly.
Begin with a few statements for yourself. Choose one priority from your vision board and write down 5 or 6 statements about the goal. Read them to your self every day. How quickly can you memorize them and speak them from the heart?
