Welcome to this the final podcast for 2023. And I can't think of a better way. To finish this year with actually creating a episode, which is all about your vision board for 2024. This is what I'm going to cover in today's episode. First of all, I'm going to share with you. Why? I believe that having a vision board is deeply transformational. Um, my own personal story. Of realizing how transformational having a vision board is. And also I'm going to walk you through the very simple steps of how to get started with your own vision board. If this is something that you're interested in, The reason why I believe. Vision boarding ease really inspirational is for a number of things. First of all, you are intentionally taking time out of your normal busy-ness you are creating space. And intention to sit down and to think about the things that you want to call in to experience to. Uh, succeeded in the next 12 months. So just having that head and heart space to think about your next 12 months is powerful in itself. And if that's all you do, that is amazing is going to give you clarity is going to give you some girls to move towards. It's going to really inspire you. But you can actually take this step a little bit further. And on this podcast and in the work that I do with my clients, I talk a lot about your mindset and, and programming your unconscious mind for the things that you do want in life and lots of the exercises and resources that I share. And the things that I work on with my clients is very much about removing limiting beliefs and setting intention and clearing the path energetically to receive in the things that you do want. And I live visualizations and creating a vision board is a big visualization exercise. And on a mindset basis is that we believe. That you cannot create something that you haven't seen first. In your mind's eye. Um, what I like to do on a mindset side of things is help my clients to see what is possible. To create a pathway to the reality that you're moving towards. And to give you the resources such as visualizations, EFT, hypnosis, that's going to really help to program in those things that you want to experience those things that you want to have, and for it to feel normal for you.. It unblocks you and it opens up all of the possibilities that are already there. Yet you cannot see them. And the how this transpired for me. With using a vision board is back in. 20. 12. I was running a life coaching business. I was kind of doing it. Light touch. My youngest child was only two. I'd just come out. My corporate life And I was working with women on helping them to increase their confidence and overcome their fears and phobias. At the start of 2012, I was like, actually I want to become more intentional. Um, the reality was that the redundancy that had caught from. Corporate job was kind of coming to an end and I could see that actually. I needed to either go back into the corporate world. Or I needed to make a success of my business. So without having like, too much of an idea about how that was going to happen, what I decided to do at the beginning of 2012 is to actually sit down and create a vision board. And I completed the steps. I'm going to take you through in a moment. And I create my first vision board. Popped it away. Fast forward to October, 2012. And I was getting ready for an event that was very, very nervous about. And what's transpired in the 10 months of that year. Is that somebody that I had been connected to through the coaching world. Harder franchise for setting up women's networking groups in your local area. Um, even though I was a life coach at the time, so this wasn't my ideal client. I just was really drawn. Two. The idea of setting up a women's only networking group, I'd researched it. And all of the research shared that there were already in existence networking groups and I'd gone along and I'd experienced them and some of them were amazing. But I knew that there was just something missing and I was, even though it made absolutely no sense at all. For me. To follow this path. I actually tuned into my intuition. And I went for it. And at this event, it was going to be myself speaking, the founder of the franchisors, and I'd also been in contact with and secured. Uh, really inspirational local business woman who had a multi-million pound Wedding business where they hired out giant TPS. For weddings. Now a side note there. At this point in time, I truly believed that I was. Terrified of speaking in public. And what I learned from running that network event by. Programming myself for what I did want and for working on myself and give myself the opportunity to step out my comfort zone. Uh, low and behold, if I didn't discover that I actually loved presented, my vision board. Led me to doing the things that were completely out of my comfort zone of all the things I told myself that I couldn't do. Actually led me. To transforming. My business. It led me to changing my niche eventually where I started specializing. We're working with female entrepreneurs. And everything at that point. Change. And I really think it came back to this vision board because as I was getting ready that evening, I noticed that my vision board was actually just kind of perking out from my mirror and as a pulled out. I was looking at the vision board and I was recapping on the things that I'd put on the vision board. And right in the bottom left-hand corner. Lo and behold, if there wasn't F. Picture of a teepee. I was just so blown away with the fact that I actually. Put it on my vision board. And how it later on the three and a half years. Absolutely transformed who I was as a person, but also my business as well. And it made me realize the power of a vision board is that. Allows those things as bigger things to transpire allows you to step into those things that are actually going to be deeply transformational for you. So this is why I think having a vision board is exceptional. And I really want to encourage you to set some time aside. And go through these steps that are now going to share with you. That's going to help you to think about how you can create your own vision board. So let's actually work through the steps. Let's get started. So step one is, make it a nice experience. You might want to do with a few friends. You might want to do your family members. Oh, you might actually want to do it on your own, but make this like a really nice experience you might want to light a candle. You might want to have like an inspirational soundtrack oh, you might just want some peace and quiet the second step is to decide how you're actually going to create your vision board. I think the most impactful. Where to create a vision board is to get a big piece of card and to get some images. But I have created vision boards. Aren't using Pinterest. Step three is to decide. On the duration for me, I always set a 12 month vision board. Is it something that you're looking to create in 12 months, time, three years, time, five years time. Become aware of what your timescale is. Step four is become intentional and a pen. And with that, you really want to just give yourself the space. You might want to close your eyes. You might want to journal on it, but just to close your eyes and to really connect with where you want to be. Within your specified timescale When I'm creating my vision board for 2024, I'll be thinking about where do I want to be in my life and in my business. By December, 2024. And I would allow everything that I want. Everything I desire to come through me. And I would allow myself to get into alignment, to feel excited. To be bold as well with that kind of dreaming. Um, if you're like, oh, I don't know how to get started with this. I don't know how to get into that. I will link down in the show notes. Uh, visualization recording that I've got on the podcast that you can use, if you just need that kind of Headspace to think about, well, what do I want, what do I want it to look like? So I really want for you too. Connect with. How you want. To be experiencing life. What do you want to have achieved? In your timescale. And again, it's always with a caveat. Of two things. You putting aside the, how you're not worrying about that. And you're allowing yourself to be bold. So just see yourself. Living. As you want to leave in the future. Step five is to start to select those images. So without questioning select images. So if you've got magazines or images, you might just be like grabbing the ones that really resonate with you discard things that don't. If you're on Pinterest, you'll be able to do exactly the same thing. Step six is you will have like a stack of images. And there'll be some that you are really drawn to, and they're the ones you absolutely want to be putting on your vision button. There'll be other things that you will have pulled and thought. Actually on reflection. I don't feel in alignment with us. They they're not the right things for me. You might have chosen words. You might have chosen destinations that you want to travel to and you might be like, actually that's not for me. Put this one side, don't worry about those that they're not for you. And then when you actually starting to create your board The first thing that I think about is like, what is your, why? And so many people miss this step out when they're looking at setting goals. And I talk about this in more detail. In, my previous podcast. And again, I'll put it down in the show notes where I talk about how you can set. Income girls actually mean something to you, in a way that will help you to achieve them as well. So, if you've not listened to that, I'll put the link in the show notes and you can go and listen to that as well, because that will really help you to step into this. Think, first of all, what is your wife? 20 to 24? What is your mission? What is the impact that you want to have? On your loved ones, on your finances, on your health, on the world. So think about the impact that you're looking to create. Now this step is completely up to you as you start to pull your ball together, whether you do that on card in a journal or on Pinterest. Is that you can choose to group. Your images dependent on a couple of different categories and I'll give you an idea of what those categories are in a moment. Oh, you might just decide to just put them anywhere. I tend to group them together. So all the images that kind of feel as though they're about my personal growth. So that might be like qualifications that we'll want to do. It may be experiences that we want to have. It might be about completing a project. Um, it could be about renovating my workspace, whatever that looks like. So think about your own personal growth as a category. So you could have an amount of money in mind. It could be the things that wealth allow you to have some maybe that you become debt free. Maybe it means that as a family, you have greater choice, maybe it means that you can travel more. whatever is important to you, how, you know, and then you might have a category for your health. So whatever that looks like for you, it might be that you have an ambition to get in your daily 10,000 steps. Oh, it could be that you want to Meditate more, you put down all of those images, all of those things that are relevant to you under the category of health. And you carry on doing that for all the things that are important to you. So you might have a category for living relationships. Once you've got your images that you want to have in your board. Move them around on your board, get really happy with the placement and then just glue them, glue them down, stick them down, and you will have a board and then step seven is your final Saben. As you connect with that board, as you see everything in that board. And there may be some things that are like really, really clear about what, what it means to you in the maybe or the things like my teepee that you think is one thing. And it's not, it's another thing. But whatever it is, you connect with that board. And you might want to do an exercise where you anchor in, you might want to use a visualization. Exercise that I'm going to share down in the show notes. Whatever it is. After you've done that. Step seven is actually about putting that board aside. So putting it to one side, so that you understand on a cellular level, that everything you have put down, everything you've seen in your mind's eye, everything that you were connected to, to put onto your vision board. That you are open to receive now, however it decides to show up in your life and you might actually want to set that as an intention. And then you put it aside. You set your goals and you start taking action. And you are likely to have an experience like me in 6, 7, 8, 9 months after you created your vision board. Where you actually look at your vision board and go, oh my goodness, me. That's what that meant. Oh my gosh. That's happened., you will begin to see. Just how powerful it is to imprint into your unconscious mind and the conscious mind exactly what it is that you want, and to be open and bold about receiving it as well.
