Have you heard about visualization, creative visualization, visioneering, having a VISION for your future? There are so many ways that we use this word and there’s one part that’s got me really excited.

People are So Curious to Know If this Works

I get a lot of hits to my website, people checking out a story that I posted of an old friend of mine who became a writer after really being able to vision and vision and picture herself CLEARLY as a writer standing in a bookstore and seeing her name on books.

Since then I have learned a lot more about how that works, how the mind works. And it’s just fascinating. So I want to give you some insights and one really great one that I think, I’m not going to describe the whole thing or teach you exactly how to do it, but this one little key has made a big difference right now in connecting where I am today to my future self.

Creative Visualization Basics

It actually came up in a conversation with my coach and we went through a little bit of the process and I did a lot of the exercise and all the work on my own where I just took time to sit down and describe it and what do I see, who is there, what am I doing, how I feel, what are some of the feelings, what are some of the things that I am experiencing. Being really vivid and DETAILED is important to visioning well.

But I would like to teach you one little trick that helps you to connect to that future a lot better and that is, whenever you’re doing something, we have so many monotonous things, so many things that we have to take care of and so many things that are IMPORTANT to that vision being fulfilled.

This Could be Time Travel

Whenever you’re doing one of those things, whenever you accomplish something that is part of a series of goals leading up to that, just take time to thank your future self. In my case, I named my future self Alex, and that was a tip from my coach, she said, “Well give the person out there a name” so, that you’re PROJECTING into that personality rather than just trying to muddle your way through and see a picture. But, “Give him a name and connect with who you are in the future“, so my future me is Alex.

Make Sense of the Work You Do Today

So now when I do little things and not just the big things like create a new product or get another blog post like this done, I stop and I say,

Thanks Alex for setting me up for a great physical condition in the future. And thanks Alex for having done all this work to be in such good physical shape.”

Or I was able to pay back more of my debt, put money into a bigger chunks, well thanks,

Thanks, Alex for getting rid of debt and to becoming debt free and taking these steps to do that.”

And this is a little tip, it may not seem like much but it will do a lot to make that connection between your VISION and where you are TODAY, the reality, it will kinda get you past all that distance that you have to go and put you in a clearer state for making more progress and moving there sooner.

All right, I would like to leave you the quote for today.

And here is your affirmation for today, remember, post it on your bedside, or put it on your mirror, put it on the door on your way out the door and say it three times every time you see it. Look at it at least twice a day, you’ve got to do it at least twice a day, three times, just really internalize it.
