VISUALIZE YOUR FUTURE

10 QUESTIONS

TO HELP YOU VISUALIZE YOUR FUTURE

BY : Mel Robbins
I ’ VE TALKED a lot about how visualization helps you create the future you want . This powerful tool has made a difference for me in my own life , when as an out-of-worklawyer-turned-executive life coach , I saw myself on a TED stage one day , sharing with others how I changed my life .
In my vision I was wearing a better color , my neck was not so blotchy , and my pits weren ’ t so sweaty , but seeing myself on that stage was the catalyst that got me doing the work to get there . That vision was the reason I kept such a laser focus toward opportunities that presented themselves , and it ’ s that vision that got me to take a few chances and step outside my comfort zone .
Having a vision changed my expectations , and that was key .
I began to EXPECT better of myself . I knew that if the future I wanted was going to become reality , I had to change what I was doing now .
