The Power of Visualization

June 22, 12 //

Imagine yourself on a sandy beach on a warm, tropical island.  The sound of lapping waves roar gently in the distance.  A warm, gentle breeze lightly grazes your skin as you take notice of bright yellow birds in flight across the cloud speckled blue sky.  You lay down, close your eyes, take a deep breath and drink in the pure ocean air.  Now, how do you feel?  Perhaps a little lighter and more peaceful?

Quiet Your Mind With Visualization
It’s amazing how a few moments of visualization can instantly calm our minds.  The subconscious is unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality; it believes whatever pictures we draw on the canvas of our minds.  We can literally trick our subconscious into believing a figment of our imagination and elicit specific emotions and feelings about something that actually isn’t true.

How to Create a Vision Board

It’s January so you can still ride on the coattails of New Year’s Resolutions if yours dropped off. Even if you’re acing your goals, anytime is a good time to create a vision board to manifest the things you want to bring into your life.

The year 2012 marks a serious turning point in my life. The role of being a lover/wife for 10 years is in the past.  So now who am I?  It’s a challenging yet beautiful process of self-discovery. That was the motivation for my vision board.

Research shows that the power of visualization is very real and helps manifest things in our lives faster that without the practice.  A vision board is a powerful tool not only for yourself, but for couples, business teams and coaching sessions as well.

How to Create a Vision Board

1. Stock up on supplies…

  • Magazines that have words and images of things you dream of/want to attract into your life
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Poster board

2. Set aside 1-2 hours to sift through images and words that call to you.

3. Cut, arrange and glue!

Hang it somewhere you will see it often. Over time, notice what seems to “just show up” in your world. Or does it?

New Years Affirmations are Effective for Lasting Change

Happy 2012!

For each of us, 2011 represented a variety experiences and ways of being.  Some things we like about ourselves and our lifestyle, but typically there is something we want to improve upon.  So, we look to the next year as a fresh start, a time to bring in a new habit pattern and make it stick.  Sometimes it does but often it doesn’t.  Visit a gym the first week in January, then again in April.  You’ll find in January it’s packed but after a few months pass, invariably those New Year’s Resolutions about going to the gym fade away and life goes back to the way it was last year.  Why is that?

The Power of Affirmations

I use affirmations instead of resolutions because they work.  (more…)
