How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 205

If you’d like to start the new year with a new vision for a new you,
then a vision board is a powerful way to take stock on where you are
at in your life and reflect on what you would like to do differently
during the year ahead. Follow these 7 Simple Steps and discover
how to take time for yourself, let go of all the things that didn’t work
out in the past, acknowledge the powerful creator within you, align
your vision with the life you’d love to live and support yourself in
stepping forward with confidence and clarity into 2011.
Tips:
Mindset Magic – Let go of anything you feel you ‘should, ought to
or must’ aspire towards. Give yourself permission to explore the
things that you really want to welcome more of in your life.
You don’t need to know what the images represent for you at this
stage. Simply focus on keeping all the images you love looking at
and trust your intuition on any pictures that don’t feel right. Sift
through the pile so that only the images and words that really inspire
you remain.
Ask yourself : “What would I like to be, do or have in my life if I
knew it was okay to have anything I wanted? If I knew I deserved it?
If I had full support from others? If I knew I could succeed? If I had
no fear? If I had abundant resources and all the time I needed?”
Mission Statement – Connect with your sense of purpose and write a
mission statement to summarise what it is you want to manifest in
your life. If you are uncertain of what your mission in life is, take
yourself back to your memories of how you enjoyed spending time
as a child. Often we expressed the essence of our life purpose in the
things that intrigued and occupied us as children. Also in the dreams
we had of what we wanted to do when we ‘grew up’.
Take three deep breaths, turn your focus inward and ask yourself
“what am I here to do”. Notice what thoughts, feelings or sensations
