Dream the impossible dream – then see yourself living it!
As a Life Coach my passion is helping others discover who they want to become and supporting them in creating a life that gives them passion and fulfillment. There are many steps to this process; often it involves taking two steps forward and one step back! We must get in touch with our deepest longing and then work at bringing that into our daily lives. One very powerful way to help us express our ultimate dreams is by creating a Vision Map. This fun and creative activity not only helps connect you with your heart’s longings but also facilitates transforming your dreams into your present life. The process starts with dreaming, letting go of your doubting mind and entering into the realm of infinite possibilities. In your mind’s eye see your self living those dreams and allow yourself to develop goals that will enable you to transform your dreams into reality. You will then create a collage that is a visual representation of those dreams and goals. There is no right or wrong way to put together your Vision Map and each one is a very personal creative symbol of the individual’s future life. The process is meant to be fun and enlightening, not something to agonize over or worry about whether it is “right”. Just let go and let your creative self take the lead.
Our thoughts become our lives Visioning is a process that can be used to help you create the life you want, connecting you to the dreams that live deep within your heart and translating them into your conscious mind as a visual symbol. We often forget what our hearts’ desires are and sell out to thinking that we MUST do or be what others or society or even our selves expect of us. To create a Vision Map we must start by reconnecting to our dreams and desires. Not our left brain thinking – what we should need, want or become, but what your deepest self, your soul, calls you forth to do and be. When you allow that to flow forth and create a Vision Map to remind you every day of your dreams it becomes almost impossible to refuse to acknowledge that part of yourself. It will create magic in your life when you allow your deepest dreams and desires to come forth and be recognized. We become what we think about and our lives are created from our thoughts. Everything begins, and all that we have in our lives, starts with our thoughts. We spend so much of our time thinking about what we DON’T want and so often that is what we draw into our lives. With visioning you create an image of what you DO want in your life. This is an opportunity to construct a visual image of what you want to manifest in your live, the life you were born to create. After you have finished your Vision Map, to gain the most benefit from it, you will want to place it where you can view it daily. This will help you place your focus on your dreams. Overview of the process- If you believe that something is impossible then it will be, if you believe that it is possible then it is.
- Set your intention
- Dream Building - Write a description of you living your perfect future. This must be written like it is the present.
- Collect your pictures, words, poems, and any materials you wish to include in your collage. Grab whatever grabs you. There is no limit!
- Create your Vision Map – dream big and don’t edit your dreams with critical thinking
- Examine and explore what you have created
- Develop your written goals, your road map to how your dreams will become a reality
