Visualization

I have been a student of personal development since the age of 19 when I first started a home-based business. My company at the time would talk about dream boards, aka vision boards, attraction boxes, and attraction books. These are really just tools to help us with our visualization. Constantly seeing things we want and things that make us happy raises our energy level and also keeps our goals in front of us.

In the beginning, my biggest problem was that I wanted so many things, that I found it hard to focus on just one. I get a lot of people that ask me how to pick what to focus on first when I have a full list of dreams.

With 9 years of practice under my belt, it is probably a little easier for me to visualize and so now, I basically run a movie in my head that has most if not all the things I currently want in it. For example, waking up with the man of my dreams, taking the dogs out while we feed the horses and livestock on our ranch, then going in and doing a little work.....you get the picture. Basically running through a whole day in movie format, with all the things that I want to attract in that movie.

When I first started with visualization this was next to impossible for me. I would start to focus on something and then my focus would bounce around. So for me, and this is my way do what works for you, in the beginning, I would look at all the things I wanted to obtain or achieve and I would pick the one, that if I got it, would also allow me to accomplish the others. So I would have one major goal that I focused on and the others were more of a measurement of my progress.

In the beginning, I wanted a Dodge Ram, to live with my boyfriend, a ranch, livestock, and a place to work on my baby, a 1970 Dodge Challenger. My first step was to figure out which goal was the one to focus on which in this case, was the ranch. I searched and found the one I wanted and started visualizing living there. Three weeks later, my boyfriend and I moved into our 5 acre home in Southern California, which had a shop for me to work on my car, enough space for all the livestock we wanted, and my boyfriend had a Dodge Ram, the exact one I wanted which became ours.

As time has gone on my wants have gotten larger and more elaborate but my focus has gotten better. You really can have whatever you want as long as you are willing to do what it takes to attract it to you.

Visualization is amazing because it not only attracts what you want (and don't want) but when you really learn to use it, it can change your entire mood. Remember when you are happy, you attract more positives and when you are unhappy, nothing goes right. When you are feeling overwhelmed or down, just focus on what you want the outcome to be and really experience your "daydream." You'll change your vibration and change your mood.

A couple of last tips to remember. Visualization gets better with practice, so practice often. I visualize a few times throughout the day every day and now instead of leaving the tv on when I go to sleep, I enjoy falling asleep to my own movie. Also, don't worry about how you will get something or the details on how something will happen. Focus on the end result. I did not picture us going house hunting, opening escrow, and getting a loan for the house. I just pictured us happy and living there. The rest will fall into place, just know what you want and visualize like you already have it.
