Writing a Journal

Writing a journal is one of the most effective visualization techniques to help you reach your goals. Don't be scared to dream big when writing to your future self. To achieve something you've never had before, you must do something you've never done before, and right now, it may mean letting go of your limiting beliefs and swinging for the fences.Instead of editing yourself, allow yourself to incorporate all that will assist you to reach your goals. Write out your loftiest goals and minor victories, describing how they came to completion and writing as if they had really occurred.

You can visualize your future more easily when you have clarity about it. How would you describe your life and career? Encourage yourself to be open to new possibilities and to contemplate what your new story might be. Visualizing your preferred future, writing it down, and then watching your reality unfold in kind has power. Even if it doesn't go exactly as planned, you could be amazed at how much you discover about yourself in the process.

Before writing your letter, consider not just the current year but also the previous year: What came up short of your expectations? What has changed in your life? In the opposite direction, consider your triumphs. Consider occasions when you felt the most alive and fulfilled... or frustrated and uninspired. Use that information to reframe your experiences in a positive light, allowing you to go forward and visualize your desired outcomes.
