Have a vision. Make a plan. Crush your goals.
I’m sure you’ve seen something like this when it comes to inspirational and motivational expressions.
The typical coach will tell you that most people get stuck between making a plan and crushing their goals, which goes back to mindset and believing in yourself. All of that is true of course, but it will have to be a topic for another day. Today is about the vision.
I have found that many people get stuck on their vision. In fact, some people don’t even know how to come up with one.
You may feel that your life is a series of “have to”s and “should”s, and that there is no time or reason to think outside your current life situation, no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. Maybe you can’t see any other options for yourself, or maybe you feel like you don’t deserve anything other than what you’re currently doing. Perhaps you have had dreams in the past, but feel like they never materialized, so why bother?
Today, I am giving you permission to DREAM.
Dream big. Now dream bigger.
One of my coaches once told me that if your dreams don’t scare you, then you aren’t dreaming big enough. I couldn’t agree more.
Visioning work excites me. It’s the key to manifesting the future you desire. Think of visioning as the GPS to creating your future. You need a road map or you won’t know where you are going. And yes, sometimes we have to take a detour (or two), but we always know where we are headed.
I have been visioning and manifesting for decades. Slowly, I have shifted my personal and professional life towards that dream reality that feels authentic to me. Remember, I’m using my own GPS to get there, and I’m the only one who has to understand it. My family and friends get to witness the progress.
There are quite a few prompts that I use with clients, which I’m happy to share with you, to give them the opportunity to dream and create. For purposes of this post, here is a simple prompt I like to use:
You and I run into each other a couple years from now.
You are beaming.
Everything you have wanted has materialized for you, professionally and personally.
Take a minute. Don’t rush. What does that look like for you?
Dig a bit deeper. What does this new reality REALLY look and feel like for you?
Where do you live?
Who are you with? Who is in your life?
What are you doing professionally? (Career? Job change? Retirement?)
How do you spend your free time?
How do you spend your money?
What about this future excites you?
You may want to take a few notes and expand on them when you have more time. My belief is that if you can dream it, there is part of you that knows that you can have it. Your dream is your truth talking to you. It’s time for you to listen. Your inner truth always knows what is right for you.
Before you start throwing out all sorts of excuses as to why this dream future can never work, step back and enjoy it. I would love to know what your vision looks like, if you’re willing to share with me. Visioning and manifestation works when you are motivated. When you’re ready, you can make it happen. If you need support, we could solidify the vision, and then work on mindset, belief, and action to get you there.
Have fun dreaming, visioning and creating. Let me know how it goes.
Always with love,
Heather
