Visualization - It's what you have in your minds eye

Would you like to be able to manifest your dream life? Would you like to start creating the life you want, instead of just reacting to life?

First, let me talk to you about visualization. Visualization is simply what you have in your mind’s eye; what you dream about; think about; focus on. Visualization activates your subconscious which will start generating creative ideas to achieve your goals. It programs your brain to perceive and recognize the resources you will need to achieve your dreams more readily. It activates the Law of Attraction, which states what we think about the most or focus on the most, is what will appear as your life, your reality. The Law of Attraction will therefore draw into your life the people, resources, and circumstances you will need to achieve your goals. Visualization will build your internal motivation to take the necessary actions to achieve your dreams.

The only reason why people do not have what they want is because they are thinking more about what they don’t want, than what they do want. Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup for the Soul series author.

So now let’s talk about how to use this in a very powerful way. I want to introduce something you may or may not have heard of. Vision Boards. Vision boards are a very simple, yet powerful visualization tool that manifests your dreams into reality by setting intention with our goals and dreams and putting images to those things. They help you focus on the things and people you want to attract and be experiencing in your life, rather than focusing on the things you don’t want. They are simple to create. If you want to do it the old-fashioned way, which I personally prefer, you can use a posterboard or any other kind of canvas you prefer. You can be as simple or as fancy as you want to be! Gather a bunch of old magazines and start cutting out pictures of things you may wish to own, places you may want to vacation, that significant other you are dreaming of if you are single 😉, or how you want to look when you’ve lost those extra “holiday or COVID” pounds! The only limits are the ones you place on your own imagination! So go ahead and dream big! Go through the images you cut out and lay them out on your board before you glue them down. You can choose to include all the things you want, or choose from some other types of boards, such as the “I know exactly what I want” board. With this board you are very sure of your desires; you want to manifest something very specific. Then there is the “Opening and Allowing” board. This is when you are not sure what exactly you want; you know you want change, but don’t know exactly what that looks like or how it would be possible. The third kind of board you can create is the “Theme” board. Maybe you want to accomplish some new goals in your work and/or career; or you are working on one specific area of your life, like your health. This board has clear parameters and intent. You can also use a combination of all three boards! Just be creative, have fun and use your intuition! If you prefer to use a computer, there are websites like canva.com that you can use if the cutting and gluing way is not your thing. Once your board is complete, make sure it is in a place where you can see it every day. Really study the images and feel the feelings associated with having those things now! And remember, thoughts become things! And we create the life we’re living. We are always winning the game we’re playing.
