Happy New Year! In this week's podcast, hosts Robin Masiewicz, Amy Frost, and the panel continue their discussion on techniques for envisioning your future self. This process can take many forms -- from journaling, letter writing, meditation, mental visualization, vision boards, and other techniques. Using the power of intention and visualization of how you want to be in the future, the "optimal you", helps you to make better decisions in the present, and enables you to take steps to achieve the future you imagine. Vision Boards Vision Boards have been around for quite a while. Creating a vision board will give you a clear picture of what is important to you and, will define for you what your goal actually looks like. Huffington Post has an article on 7 Reasons Why You Need a Vision Board in 2016. Visualization Techniques An article titled Visualization Techniques: The Future Self Movie is available from Visualmeditation.co. It provides a four step process to create a mental movie of your happy and successful future self. In the previous podcast, Robin mentions a conversation between Oprah Winfrey and Jim Carrey about how he visualized his success years before he became successful. Below is a video of their conversation. Mindbodygreen.com includes them both in "8 Successful People Who Use the Power of Visualization". Making Better Decisions According to this article in the Harvard Business Review, being able to connect to your future self helps you make better decisions now. The Stanford study used a technique of creating photos of each person "aged" to make them look 10 to 20 years older. Being able to connect to this older representation of your future self made them more conscious of the decisions they make in the present. Here's to having a great 2016! Happy New Year!
