Are You Motivated and On Track?

How to Keep Your Dreams Alive and Kicking!

Just like your Business Plan needs periodic updates, so does your
Vision Plan (and I’m not talking about your eye care insurance
coverage!). Your Vision Plan is an Essential Element to your success.
What we think about, comes about. There’s just no way around this
ancient truth. So what exactly is a Vision Plan? A Vision Plan is a
written script of what your ideal scenariolooks like. Your Vision
may be for the year ahead, or you may do several versions, in time
increments of your choice. What do you sincerely hope to be, feel, and
experience in the next 6 months? What about the next 12 months?

One of the biggest challenges that I hear busy professionals,
entrepreneurs, and business owners say is that they are so overwhelmed
with all there is to do, that they quickly lose sight of the big dream,
the big Whyfor what they are doing. Their energy is tied up in
survivingvs. thriving. The key to unlock from the struggle, work
hard mode is to turn on your own Brain Power.

Did you know that there is scientific research which confirms and validates the tangible benefits to visualizing? Daydreaming actually can give you a big payoff! Here’s why:

First of all, our brains are actually hardwired to serve us. We all have a part of our brain called the Reticular Activating System.
(That’s quite a mouthful, it’s also known as the RAS.) Our RAS is
designed to seek out matchesor solutionsto what we’ve been
focusing on. Here’s a case in point. When I was pregnant with my 1st
child in 1985, I was enthralled with all that had to do with babies,
motherhood, and parenting. Everywhere I went, I saw babies or pregnant
women. Now, do you think that there were more pregnant women at that
time in history? Probably not! Rather, my RAS was workingfor me,
searching for connections that were a fit for my current focus, which
was a new baby. Our RAS is our slaveand will help you to pull to you
exactly what will help you to solve a problem or create a new solution!
Nice to know, we don’t have to work as hard as we thought!

Here’s a quick, easy and powerful way to kick startyour Vision:

Take a few minutes to relax. Allow yourself to close your eyes and
to envision your ideal life scenario. What is your Vision of your own
personal success story? Write it down in vivid detail.

Here’s an important additional element: Allow yourself to truly tap
into how it feels to have this be true for you. How does your life make
a difference for others? This will anchor your Vision, making it even
more powerful.

Do this for 30 days and you’ll have lots of new, positive results to celebrate!
