It’s important to put the finished vision board in a prominent place in your office or apartment so that you are regularly reminded of it.Īs you can see, it’s about visualizing in your mind, on paper, or a blank canvas. In short, you take a blank poster and fill it with snippets and pictures from magazines that represent what you want your life to look like in a certain amount of time it could be 6 months, 3 years, or more. In “ Let Me Introduce You To a Remarkable Person”, you’ll find more details about it. If you add a little bit of embodiment to it and think of a posture that incorporates a specific affirmation very well, your body will also “save” it and the more often you do it, the quicker you’ll be able to get into the mindset of your future self.Īnother way of visualizing your future is to create a vision board. Hence, your brain will think that you already own that publishing empire and you’ll start acting accordingly, unconsciously. The trick behind it is that our brain cannot differentiate between what is already true and what is fiction. “I am strong and face all adversities with grace.”, “I have a publishing empire with 100 employees and 5 offices worldwide.” Like with the meditation, try to be as specific as possible. Start with “I” followed by something that you wish you had accomplished already or how you want to be in the future, e.g. When you write affirmations, write in present tense, and be careful not to write too many. Writing (daily) affirmations helps your mind as well to get into the future mode.

It’s extremely powerful and will guide you through different phases where you will, among others, imagine your future self in all details. Meditation is one of them and if you are new to it and are looking for a guided meditation, try out the six phase meditation by Vishen Lakhiani. For many people, it helps when they close their eyes, and then there are others who prefer to write it all down instead of doing it purely in their mind.Īs there’s no visualization button (yet) on our head, there are different techniques and ways of getting easier into the “visualization mood”. Finally, how do you do it in real life? How can you tap into the power of visualization and enjoy all its benefits? Generally speaking, you need to imagine the specific situation in as many details as possible using all your senses – you can see it, smell it, hear it, feel it and taste it.
