This time of year is perfect for learning a new process which can help you
define and refine your goals. Especially since you’ll be spending so much
time inside, it’s worthwhile to know what to do that’s productive. And
while the most successful way to develop a mind map is with the help of
a trained professional, here are a few basic things you can do on your own
to get started:
To get started, you need to come up with a thought or idea that you want
to work on. Think of all the dreaming and visualization you’ve done in
the past – this is just an extension of that. To do this, you want to have
a clean piece of paper. Start out by putting down your central idea or
thought in the center of the page. As you go, you’ll find yourself working
from the center out.
Just like the sun, the heart of life is at the center and its warming rays
extend out beyond to touch you and your vision. This works along similar
lines. You are in the middle of everything. Your dream and your vision for
the future is being represented as the central idea. Once you start, you
might not be able to stop. Just keep going!
You will get the hang of this pretty quickly, especially if you’ve ever done
work with vision or dream boards. This is just a different way of visualizing
information.
Are there rules? Not really; however, there are some things to consider
before you get started:
Go with the flow. Don’t edit yourself. When you do, you are cutting
off your creative juices and putting judgment on yourself. Just ask for
guidance to allow the thoughts and words to come from your higher self
for your best and highest outcome.
Consciously commit to what you want to bring into reality. Once you put
pen to paper, your words become real – they exist so make sure what you
really want to explore beforehand.
You’re brainstorming in a new way, so you’ve got to let it all hang out,
without going back and making changes. Once you start filtering your
thoughts by making changes, you cut down the creative process.
