Create a vision not a resolution

I hope you had a chance to have a break and enjoyed your Christmas period. Now, at the start on 2013, is the time when many people take a fresh look at their lives, and consider the changes they would like to make. I am not a huge fan of resolutions as they don't have a high success rate (let me know if you prove me wrong!) but I do value creating a vision which you take steps towards. I have been creating a vision for both my business and personal life.

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." ~ Carl Jung

Create a vision and move towards it

• Imagine there is another you sitting in the room next door, close your eyes if it helps, and see what you look like if you are exactly the same as you currently are
• Visualise yourself at Christmas 2013 – notice what is different about you. What have you achieved? Do you look any different? Do you feel any different?
• Explain your progress to your friend - Now imagine a good friend joins you next door and you are discussing the things which have gone well for you in 2013. Notice how you feel about your progress and what they say to you
• Describe your journeys - Your friend asks you how you have managed to make these changes. Describe the steps you have taken and the obstacles you have overcome including what you have learnt
• Clarify your first steps - Explain to your friend the changes you made in January and how you managed to achieve them

Now you have done them once in your head, it should be easier to do it a second time. There are some fantastic tools for embedding your vision and making it more likely to become a reality. I can help you with this and also with defining your vision in the first place and breaking it down into practical steps so that you actually achieve it.
