Create your Future with your FUTURE... Not your past.
This is adapted from the work of Werner Erhard via some Jack Canfield stuff.
Start by getting comfortable in a quiet location you won’t be disturbed. Have a NEW unused journal (permanent type) and pen close by. Relaxing music is OK, but not a guided meditation.
Close your eyes and ask your subconscious mind to begin letting go of limitations and let yourself wildly dream. I promise it won’t hurt. You are looking for images/pictures/sounds/smells about what your ideal life would be like. EXACTLY the way you think you’d want it now. It’s OK to change your mind later, this is just for THIS MOMENT.
Focus first on the Financial part of your life.
What is your ideal annual income/
What does your cash FLOW look like – what comes in AND what goes out. It’s a FLOW!
How much $$ do you have in Savings?
How much $$ in investments? What type are they?
What is your TOTAL net worth at this particular point in the future you’re imagining right now?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Focus next on your ideal Home at this future point of your life.
What does it look like outside? Is there a view?
What is nearby? Where is it located?
What is around it, landscaping, outbuildings, pool, barn, tennis courts, lake?
What is the color outside?
Now, go inside... In your mind go in the front door and look around. Go to each room.
What rooms are there? What décor is it – what furniture? Colors? Smells?
What is the kitchen like? Any great tastes waiting for you there?
What is your favorite room in the house?
Is there some special beautiful art and paintings? What do they look like? Feel like?
Walk through the entire house filing in all the detail you can.
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
NOTE: DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT “HOW WILL I GET THIS?” - Give your mind the picture and your mind will solve the “not enough money” challenge. It IS solvable. This exercise is about getting it clear in your mind! That’s it for now.
Third, focus on your Car or other possessions you might want. The “things” the “toys/stuff”. This is not a test... You can add or subtract from this list anytime!
What do they look like? Feel like? Smell like?
How much do they cost?
How often do you get to enjoy them and how?
Who else uses them with you?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Fourth, focus on your Ideal Real Estate Career.
Where are you working? Is it at a Company office? A private office? A home office?
What do you do each day to run your perfect business?
What is your schedule like each day and week?
What staff do you have, if any?
Do you work for yourself or have a Company you work for?
What kind of Customer/Clients do you have?
What does the PERFECT Buyer look like and how do they behave?
What does the PERFECT Seller look like and how do they behave?
What is your average commission? Do you have other compensation that comes to you?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Fifth, focus on your Free time that this wonderful career has brought you.
What do you do with this time?
How often are you off work to enjoy your other wonderful things financial freedom has brought you?
Who do you spend your free time with? What friends? What family?
What are your hobbies at this point in your future?
What vacations have you been on and have coming up soon?
What philanthropic activities are you involved in? Does that bring you joy to help others?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Sixth, focus on your Body and Physical Health.
What do you look like?
Have you kicked any bad habits?
How old are you and how old will you life with great health like this?
Are you relaxed and enjoying life?
What exercise do you enjoy and how often do you do it?
Are you full of energy and enthusiasm?
Are you flexible as well as strong? How did you get that way?
What foods are you eating? Getting more water in your diet than ever?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Seventh, focus on the Ideal Vision of your Relationships with others.
Think about your family – each member- and how you now interact with them in this perfect ideal life.What does that feel like? Comforting, comfortable, relaxed?
Who are your friends in this life?
What difference in the qualify of relationships with your friends and family do you notice?
What time do you spend with those important to you?
What do you do together?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Eighth... Focus on the “Personal Arena” of your Ideal Life
Do you see yourself having gone back to school?
Are you getting regular education and training? Attending workshops that are interesting and exciting regardless of cost and time?
What healing things have happened to you to get to this point? Therapy even if you feel it was needed?
Do you meditate daily or often?
How is the spiritual side of your life? Are you involved with a place of worship?
Have you learned to play an instrument? Are you writing a book? Maybe an autobiography?
Do you paint, or run marathons, or do triathlons?
What do you do for YOU? How do you continue to improve the Quality of your life?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
And finally Ninth. Focus on the community you are thriving in... The community you have CHOSEN.
What does it look like when it’s operating perfectly?
How is it decorated for the holidays?
What community activities take place there?
Are you doing charitable work in your community?
What do you do to help others and make a difference in the lives of others?
How often do you participate in these activities? Who exactly are you helping?
Write it all down in the journal. Use a whole page for each item you need.
Whew! OK... You did it all. You opened your mind and IMAGINED for perhaps the first time in a long time. If you’re like me, you may have even cried at some of the incredible images you created in your mind! Now take your notes and create a beautiful final image of that perfect life. It can be in writing. It can be in pictures, or a combination. Get creative and spend the time on this part. See what it was you wrote! You may want to do this a day or two AFTER the initial exercise.
Here are the KEYS to making this successfully MOVE YOU FORWARD toward this life:
Key #1 – EVERY DAY review your final version. That’s right... Every single day.
Key #2 – Share this with people you know love and support you! You may have some fear about this but if they do love and support you, they will do just that. And think about this: MOST people want the same things you do... They just don’t know it. You may INSPIRE them to do a similar exercise and change their lives too! Deep down, we all want that ideal life.
Everyone wants financial abundance, a comfortable home to be proud of, meaningful work you enjoy, good health, time to enjoy it all, nurturing relationships and an opportunity to make a difference in their worlds. But too few of us admit it.
You will find if you share your vision several things will happen.
- You’ll inspire others to create a vision of their own!
- You’ll find they want to support you in your vision and may give you bigger and better referrals than they ever did! (I had a coaching client that shared this with their children and EACH child gave them a referral that turned into a sale in the next few months!)
- You’ll find your friends introducing you to others that can support your goals too.
- Every time you share your vision, it will become more CLEAR in your mind!
- And lastly... Every time you share your vision... You STRENGTHEN your own subconcious belief that you CAN achieve it....
It’s magic. Real magic.
In closing, my favorite quote by Marianne Williamson:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be? ~ You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not in just some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others.
