My Vision of the Future

Visualization – Using our imagination to form a mental image – is something we all do. Professional athletes and musicians use visualization to improve their performance. They see themselves in their mind winning the race or playing a flawless piece of music.

Visualizing your future…

• As we consider Habit #1, #2, and #3 (Personal Victory) we can begin to think beyond today and decide what is most important to us.

• To remind ourselves of all the things we hope to accomplish in our futures we are going to do the following visualization activity

After the visualization activity:

Take some time now to record your thoughts on what you visualized for your future (write and finish the sentences on your loose leaf):

In the future… I look around my home and I see… I’m living in… I’m living with… Today, I look forward to doing… Since I last saw my friend 10 or 20 years ago, I have been… My hobbies include… My work is… I am living a lifestyle that could be described as… The things that are really important to me are… The things that I am most proud of are…

Making a Vision Board

• A Vision board is created by an individual to illustrate what he/she wants in this life. A vision board is a personal collection of an individual’s desires and no restrictions are placed on the images or words displayed on the board.

• You will need to look through magazines to find pictures and words that represent your goals. As well, you may draw pictures or write words to represent your goals.

• It is recommended that you paste a picture of yourself in the center of your board.

• Paste the pictures and words on the vision board. Pictures may overlap, words can be pasted on top of images or pictures can be in a distinct order.

• There will also be a written component, where you articulate what/why you have included the items on your board. This can be pasted or attached to the back of your board.
