Have you ever wanted to create change in your
life, but you have not been able to make progress? Perhaps you felt stuck where
you were and you struggled to move forward? I have experienced this feeing
numerous times in my own life, and I see this pattern in my coaching clients
all the time.
You may want to manifest a new job, your ideal
relationship, or more money. You may want to change some bad habits or live
with more self-love. No matter what it is, there is one key step that I see
many people miss, and for years I missed it too.
The step that people often miss is the creation
of a powerful, beautiful and inspiring vision for what they want. Instead of
dedicating their attention and focus to where they want to go, they instead get
tripped up focusing all of their attention on where they are now.
I see so many of my clients get stuck in the
pattern of telling the same story about themselves and their life over and
over. And as a result, they just keep creating the same results and
experiencing the same reality, over and over.
To create change, we need to take our attention
off our old stories and our present situation, and use our imagination to focus
on where we want to go.
Why Is It So Important To Have A Vision?
The universe responds to the thoughts you hold
in your mind about your self and your life. With every thought you think, and
every word you say you are literally defining yourself.
Visions pull us forward. They motivate and
inspire us. They help us see what is possible and give us the impetus to move
towards it. Without a vision, we have no direction and no dream of something
bigger. Without a vision we just move aimlessly through life, taking what we
can get. We live without plan or purpose.
3 Steps To Creating A Powerful Vision For Your
Life
1. Get clear on what you want.
Sure, it sounds obvious, but many people don’t
actually know what they want. They’re so used to telling themselves they can’t
have what they want, that they’ve stop allowing themselves to dream. Instead
they just accept what they can get. Many of us have spent so long suppressing
our dreams that we do not even know what they are any more!
It is time to get totally and utterly
unreasonable. It is time to dream wildly. It is time to dig up those long-lost
dreams and make them a reality.
Ask yourself these questions
What do
I you love to do?
What are
my gifts and talents?
What
makes me come alive?
When do
I feel most myself?
Then dig deeper
If I was
not afraid, what would I do?
If I had
all the money I needed, what would I do?
If I
knew I would be loved and supported unconditionally, what would I do?
And go even deeper
Why do I
want what I want?
What do
I think this will give me?
What
qualities do I want to experience on a daily basis?
How do I
want to feel?
2. Write it out.
What is your vision of what you want? What
would that look like? If you were living your dream life what would you be
doing? What would be happening? Write it down.
What are the characteristics of your dream job,
your dream man, your dream body? What would it feel like when you had this?
Write it down.
What would an ideal day in your dream life look
like? What time would you get up, what would you eat, what type of work would
you do, where would you be, who would you be with, what would you be wearing?
Write it down.
3. Give it attention, daily.
Sit down and meditate on your vision. Call it
in.
I have a special ritual where I set aside time
each night to visualise my dream and energetically attract it to me. I light
candles, sit on my couch and visualise. As I do, I can literally feel this new
reality. I embody it. It feels real.
See yourself living in your vision. Make it so
real you can feel it. When you get to this place where you can feel it, then
you are in the process of attracting it. You have become magnetic to it, and
you are well on your way to creating it.
+ What
powerful vision are you creating for your life? What tools do you use to create
your vision and attract it to you?
