Dear <$salutation$>,

Visualisation

I'm very excited about my new book coming out soon. Guess what - I visualised it - and now it's happening!

If you remember, my last newsletter was all about the tremendous power of visualisation (and I hope you've started using it). If you want to refresh your memory why not go back and read it again...

...because today, to support your visualisations, we're going to concentrate on a really useful "visual aid". It's called a -

Vision Board

- and it's very easy to make one. If you are artistic, good at craftwork, or even just a bit creative you will probably enjoy making it beautiful. But if you would rather just do it on a basic level and get on with your life then that's OK too.

The Vision Board, as its name suggests, is a visual aid to remind you of those dreams you are intending to turn into reality with your visualisations.

The Board

You can use any cork board - make it quite large. Or if you want to treat yourself check the links below*. Put it where you will see it often - a friend of mine put hers in the bathroom!

Pictures

Now, cut out pictures from magazines - anything that's relevant to your particular goals, which might, for example, include:

• a big house
• a new car
• flying a plane
• learning a new language
• seeing a particular show
• visiting a special place
• enjoying a new physical activity
• resuming an old friendship
• finding a new career...

You can also put in there how much you want to earn: break it down into a monthly figure if you want to but keep it realistic. You won’t be a millionaire in five years if you earn £20,000 a year now but aim high. (You can include that on the next one five years from now!)

Don't, however, make it all financial . Include relationships, feelings and some fun.

Words

• If you can't find a suitable picture you can write a little something instead - I do this. Or you could try your drawing skills!
• Another candidate for your board, if you would feel happy with it, is a written wish list.
• And if you like quotes add any that are relevant. There might be some to get you started in the Pearls of Wisdom sections of these newsletters.

Results

When you have achieved something - don't take it off the board. Put a big tick by it or something. Then every time you see it you will be reminded that IT WORKS.

In five years time or so you might be needing to start another board, and it will be hugely encouraging to see all the ticks you've accumulated.

The Next Big Thing?

The latest idea is for people to have their own personal vision movie! They can arrange for this to play perhaps whenever they switch on their computer, showing them one positive image or textual message after another, all relating to their own goals.

It's new - but I do know one lady who's delighted with hers, from www.themindmovie.com.
