One way to do this is with a beneficial billboard. This is a collage that contains words, phrases and pictures that remind you of your goals and dreams. To begin, you’ll need a poster board and a stack of magazines. Set aside time to sort through the magazines and cut out words and pictures that represent your goals.
If you want to travel to Hawaii, cut out pictures of Hawaii, the word Hawaii, pictures of people eating, swimming, snorkeling or sunbathing in Hawaii, anything that represents a Hawaiian vacation. If you want to lose weight, cut out pictures of thin, tone, healthy people and words that are motivating and positive. If your goal is less concrete, you can cut out symbolic pictures. For example, a cat can be symbolic of self-esteem and self-autonomy. A bald eagle can symbolize rarity, beauty, strength and clear vision. Choose pictures that symbolize values you want to focus on. Use a colorful poster board that evokes feelings of lightness and positivity. Create a visual masterpiece that you’ll look forward to viewing.
Be sure to put your beneficial billboard somewhere that you’ll be able to see it on a regular basis. Look at it daily and allow the pictures to come alive for you. Imagine yourself doing, being and having all the elements of your beneficial billboard. As you imagine this vividly, your mind will open the way for these dreams to become your reality. Look at your beneficial billboard everyday until it becomes comfortable for you to think of yourself as a person who is worthy and capable of your goals.
Next week, I'll continue to talk about the power of visualization and mental imagery using the self-fulfilling scrapbook.
See It, Believe It, Make It Real Part Two
In last week's Galvanize Your Mind Wednesday post I wrote about mental imagery or visualization as a way to transform your thinking and your life. There are other ways to use visualization besides mental imagery. Advertisers spend billions of dollars strategically placing billboards, bus signs and magazine ads in the right places so we’ll want to purchase the products we see advertised. We can utilize the power of a multi-million dollar ad campaign and decide for ourselves what we want to “buy.”
