Article by Richard J Smart

Hello! How is your "connecting and reviewing" that I talked about in my last article going? I hope well!

In this article I want to talk about an extremely powerful yet simple tool that will help you to further connect with your goals and cement them into your subconscious. You may have heard of the term "vision board". That's exactly what it is: a vision of your goals in picture form, pasted on a piece of card in a collage.

Creating a vision board is really great fun. I can't recommended or stress one highly enough. The subconscious works in pictures. So what that means is if you really connect with your chosen pictures every time you stare at your vision board and read out your goals you are telling your subconscious to start attracting those pictures in to your life.

All you need are some magazines with pictures of the sorts of things you want in your life. Just cut them out and paste them on to a piece of card. There's no correct way of doing this exercise just be creative and put it together how ever you want. Stacey and I have recently added some pictures of ourselves to our vision board. We found actually seeing ourselves in the vision helps the connection.

The exercise simply involves stating your goals out aloud while seeing them in front of you. This should evoke a feeling. This is important as it gives you vital feedback. Our thoughts create feelings and out of those feelings we take action. This is where the law of attraction kicks in. The positive feeling will lead you to take the appropriate action and your actions will attract to you everything you need to create your vision.

MAINTAINING HIGH ENERGY LEVELS

Self motivation doesn't come easy to everyone. The idea of creating the life you really want remains just that for many, an idea. It's not enough to write a few goals out and put up a vision board in your room/office. With out "appropriate action" our goals will never be realized. If we have good energy levels, feel fresh and ready to go each day we can get into a flow and really take huge action. Dragging ourselves out of bed loathing the day ahead of us will disperse our energy. It's not about bouncing of the walls everyday. Some days can be tough, even for those people who seem to have boundless energy and enthusiasm.

It's important to first be able to distinguish between energy giving and energy taking situations, so here is a list.

ENERGY TAKING:

Stress, poor relationships, cluttered environment, negative environment, unbalanced lifestyle, poor health, lack of money, negative people, interpreting events as bad, low standards, poor diet

ENERGY GIVING:

Having money, smiling, loving relationships, nature, yoga/meditation, pets, sex, success, knowledge/learning, having fun/laughing, oxygen, exercise/fitness, recognition/significance, overcoming challenges, positive outlook, lighter colors, contribution, music, holidays.

Get yourself a piece of paper and jot down any thing that comes to mind as you read each of the areas under energy taking, then do the same for the energy giving list. If you have got energy taking situations happening in your life it's going to be difficult to channel the necessary energy into your goals.

If you have come this far and have completed the exercises congratulations! Goal setting successfully is about so much more than just jotting down what we want. Often the process of clearing out energy taking situations leads to creating the room for what we really want in our lives.

Stay tuned coming up next I'll be looking at momentum and lag and the importance of rewarding yourself!

Cheers, Richard
