Anyone who knows me knows what a big fan I am of visioning. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale suggested standing in front of a mirror each morning and repeating to oneself what they envision themselves to be.
I never could quite get comfortable with the mirror routine (except for practicing my future Oscar acceptance speech each spring) but I caught on quickly to the idea of creating an image in one's mind of the future they'd like to achieve. A tangible way to put pictures into practice is to translate that mental image to a vision board using images taken from magazines, etc.
I'm simplifying this quite a lot. But to learn more I've got two suggestions for you:
- Read my latest Sanity advice at TravelingMom.com - it's all about using vision board techniques to picture the perfect vacation.
- Learn more about the upcoming Women in Business Envision It! Get a Jump On Your Dreams Summer Series Event, taking place on July 18th. New Haven-based artist and my good friend, Carmen Lund, will help participants create personalized vision boards to help them achieve their future goals.
Stay in focus and work on your tomorrows - today!
Me too, I think without a vision that our hope can die.
