Are you ready to create a vision for a better future?
Let’s envision great success and unprecedented joys in 2021!
If you’re wondering how to do this, read on!
In previous blogs, I’ve written about using
affirmations and visualization to achieve your desired future, and both of
these are powerful processes. But, did you know they are even more
powerful when used together?
As a reminder, an affirmation is a positive statement that
declares what you desire. Examples include: I appreciate my great health; I’m
enjoying my beautiful beach home in the Outer Banks; and I’m gratefully celebrating
the birth of my baby girl.
Affirmations allow us to consciously choose thoughts
that will deliver positive future results. These statements plant seeds and
direct your subconscious mind to begin working toward achieving your goals.
Tips to make your affirmations more powerful:
- Create affirmations using the present tense (Use “I am enjoying…” and not, “I am going to enjoy…”)
- Affirm in the positive (Use, “I am enjoying great health,” not, “I don’t want to be sick.”)
- Use images to strengthen your affirmations.
Using images (visualization) is also an easy and effective process. You can use
guided visualizations to identify and fully imagine what you want or simply
close your eyes and think about your goals and desires in minute detail.
Research has shown that using affirmations and visualization together makes them even more powerful. There are many ways you can combine these tools.
You can state your affirmation and at the same time visualize it
coming to life. For example, if your affirmation is “I appreciate my work
promotion,” you would envision how you would feel, who you would be working
with, and what kind of work you would be doing.
Another great way to combine affirmations with visualization is by creating a vision board. When you look at your vision board, your mind naturally starts to imagine the outcomes you desire. You can use a vision board workbook or kit to aid in this process.
My favorite is the Vision Board Workbook (https://bit.ly/2JpqOdi)
which provides a tutorial on how to design a vision board, tools
to make it easy for you to create one, and a worksheet to identify
your deepest desires, which is a critical first step of creating a
vision board. There is also a “Tools of the Trade” section with page
after page of phrases, affirmations, and pictures you can cut out to
design your own unique vision board.
Affirmations and visualization are both
powerful processes to help you achieve your goals and desires. Combined, the
two processes become super-charged! So what are you waiting for? Create
affirmations, visualizations, and a vision board that outlines the future of
your dreams!
