If you’re only using a vision board to manifest your goals, you’re losing
The remaining steps in the process of manifesting your goals (that starts with the vision board and ends with aligning your environment to match your goals) are just as important!
Envisioning your life is only one side of the coin, the other is laser sharp focus on one piece of the dream at a time
Close your eyes and envision the life you want to lead.
Decorate it with things and people that bring you joy.
Punctuate it with trips abroad and awe-inspiring moments.
Feel the emotions you want to experience every day — contentedness, relaxation, contemplation, soul-stirring happiness, simplicity and unhurried delight.
How To Figure Out What You Really Want
At step one, when you’re setting a goal, it’s so important that you take time to truly connect with your most authentic desires. For example, if you ask an average person what they want from life, they might fire off a shallow list without really reflecting; often, this list will just reflect fleeting desires or things that are “safe” to say (such as wanting their boss to cut them a break, or wanting a vacation).
To discover what you want in your heart of hearts, you need time for careful reflection and you need to be brave enough to confront some of the desires you repress. If, say, you desperately want to change careers, this might be something you hide from yourself due to fear of failure.
Set all of your assumptions about the possibility and anxiety aside, and ask yourself this question: “If I could have anything, right now, what would it be?”
When you start to find the answer, let yourself picture it. Imagine how it would feel to have that thing (whether it’s a great relationship, more money, a dream job or a fresh start in a new place), and let yourself believe it really is possible to achieve that goal.
When you train your mind to focus on how amazing it would be to have what you want, you turn your attention away from the negative feelings associated with not having that thing.
Consequently, you create powerful reserves of positive energy that will take you towards your goal.
Fine-Tuning Your Goal
Once you have a vision of what you actually want to achieve, it’s time to do two things that fine-tune the goal setting journey. The first is to build a deeper, more vivid picture of your goal, so that you can use this as the cornerstone of your creative visualization process.
Meanwhile, the second is to find the perfect words to express your goal in writing, so that you can create reminders and design affirmations that help you to manifest your goal.
To enhance your ability to visualize your goal, you’ll have to use all of your senses. So, don’t just see a picture of yourself in your new place of work or wearing a gorgeous outfit after losing weight; hear, smell, touch and taste what it’s like to have achieved your goal.
Spend at least 10-15 minutes a day on your visualization. In addition, find visual ways to represent the goal in your environment. Some people create “dream board” collages of images that connect them with the thing they want, while others prefer to collect objects and pictures in a special box that can be used to prompt reflection once a day.
To fine-tune how you express your goal, experiment with lots of different wordings. For example, just take half an hour and write down as many ways of expressing your goal as possible.
Then, look at them all and narrow them down to, say, 5 or 10 that really resonate with you, sparking feelings of excitement and inspiration.
To choose the one main way you’ll express your goal, also think about which phrase is the most positive, specific, confident and realistic; and consider phrasing it in the present tense. For example, “I have a trustworthy, loving partner” is much better than “I’m going to stop dating people who treat me badly” or “I hope to find love.”
3. Knowing When And How To Review
While visualizations and affirmations can be practiced every day, if you review your progress towards your goal too often you may get a false sense of failure. For example, stepping on the scales three times a day isn’t a good a way to review weight loss as just weighing yourself once a week.
However, don’t fall into the trap of reviewing too infrequently; once every six months is not often enough for most goals.
Each time you review, write down concrete things you have accomplished that bring you closer to your goal and remember that small things count. Brainstorm some new ideas that will help you take more steps in the coming days or weeks.
If you have a sense that you’re not moving towards your goals, don’t beat yourself up; instead, use this as an opportunity to make new discoveries about what might be holding you back. Do you have negative underlying assumptions, or are you struggling with low confidence?
Take steps to address these blocks, using Law of Attraction techniques like flipping negatives into positives, discovering the course of your critical internal voice, and keeping a gratitude or positivity journal.
If you set specific goals, vividly visualize them on a daily basis and practice careful self-monitoring to keep your mind on a positive track, you’ll be well on your road to success!
. Visualize
Whether you prefer to do so just before going to bed or like to visualize right before getting up in order to set the tone for the day, just make sure you allocate some quiet, focused time to this process every day. Really build up the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations associated with your dream future, and fully immerse yourself in this mental picture.
2. Be Grateful
Every day, take a moment to write down 2-5 things that inspired gratitude that day. Doing so makes you a more positive person who is more capable of attracting further positive things. Don’t forget that little things count for this list, too—such as the kindness of a stranger, or the way the sunrise looked during your commute.
3. Spread Positivity
Speaking of the kindness of strangers, make sure you spread those good feelings during the day. Smile at someone you don’t know, pay someone a compliment, and think of little ways to improve another person’s day. When you do this, you vibrate at a higher, more positive frequency and increase your personal magnetism.
4. Be Kind to Yourself
As much as I’d encourage you to work hard in the pursuit of your goals, you don’t want to burn out—when you’re exhausted and feeling depleted, you vibrate at a low frequency that makes it tough to use the Law of Attraction to its full potential. That’s why you should make a habit of being kind to yourself every day, whether you take a bubble bath, spend an hour reading a book, or say “no” to a commitment that would put too much on your plate.
5. Say Affirmations
Like visualizations, affirmations help to connect you with a solid sense that your ideal future is possible. Design at least one affirmation that helps to support your goals (e.g. “I am on the path to meeting the right partner” or “Everyone can see that I am dynamic and talented”) and say it at the time that makes the most impact. That might be before work, before a date, or as soon as you get up in the morning.
Live “As If”
This Law of Attraction technique can sound a little odd at first, but those who have used it swear by its power to help with manifestation. The basic idea is that you start behaving like you already have what you want. So, for example, if you’re trying to lose weight, you buy plenty of clothes for the figure you’re working to develop.
Similarly, if you’re aiming to build confidence, you start behaving as though you’re confident already (adapting your body language, deliberately greeting more people, and so on). Every day, do something that you think of as intimately connected with living your dream.
Assess your Intention Point
While this isn’t the right time to get into the specific details of the Intention Point, my point here is that you should consider the state of the space between your heart and mind. Is this a balanced aspect of you? Is there an internal conflict? If there is, think about what you can do to rebalance yourself. And if you’re interested in learning more about how to locate, interpret and adapt your Intention Point, check out my program, “Origins”!
Read about Success
It only takes a few minutes to read a success story every day, whether it’s part of a biographical book you own or a news story on the internet. Your positivity will probably be most significantly influenced by success stories that reflect your own goals in love, work or life, but any such story will show you that the limits of possibility are endless.
Add to Your Dream Board
If you’ve been working with the Law of Attraction for a while now, chances are that you have already started building a dream board—a collection of images connected to what you want to manifest. While perhaps you don’t need to add to it every single day, you should be aiming to connect with a new image to add to the board at least several times a week. This process will help you consolidate and expand your vision of the future.
Be Patient
Finally, although the Law of Attraction can help you build up an amazing skill set for enhancing your life, it’s imperative that you practice patience! Know that you’re moving one step closer to your goals every single day, and look for evidence that this is the case.
