3 Easy Steps to Visualize Your Goals
And Make Them a Reality
What does your dream life look like? Are you living it? If not, what’s standing in your way?
on goal setting at Dominican University found that people are 42% more likely to achieve their goals when they write them down.
VISUALIZE IT Once you’ve written down the elements of your dream life, begin to visualize it. You might create a vision board and put some of these images onto paper to serve as a daily visual reminder of your innermost dreams and goals. To create one, give yourself a couple hours of quiet, uninterrupted time. Visualize your three core desires and dreams. Find a sturdy piece of paper, some old magazines or newspapers that you don’t mind cutting up, and cut and paste words and images that resonate with you. Put your vision board where you’ll see it daily and repeat the visualization process when you look at it. SHARE IT Bring yourself closer to your dream life by sharing your goals with someone you trust. Researchers at Dominican University found that people who have a “partner in believing” — someone you share your goals with who believes you can accomplish them — were even more likely to achieve them. Maybe this is a friend, family member, coworker, or mental health professional. Find someone you trust who will encourage you to stick with your dreams.
These are some of the questions you will ask yourself this month as you begin to make your dream life a reality. Here are three steps that will help move you closer to the life you want to live. WRITE IT DOWN Your first step toward making your dream life a reality is to chart it out on paper. Use a journal or big piece of paper or poster board to do this and give yourself time and space to write down the elements that make up your dream life. You’ll start noticing that something powerful happens when you put your goals to ink and paper: Instead of just daydreaming about your goals, writing them down helps your brain connect to real-world opportunities that will help you achieve them.
