Goals and new years resolutions, have you given up setting them, or do you set them and then they fall by the wayside?

As you look back to 2009 how much of your plans are now part of your life?  What has come to fruition and where is there still work to do?

What are your plans for living more of your potential and creating prosperity in 2010?

The year 2010 is the threshold of the next decade of the 21^st Century-and my good friend and expert in the field of vision, Geraldine Sheehy, is on hand to help you.

How clear is your vision for making this the year that you are living more of your potential and creating prosperity?

If we briefly fast forward to January 2011 and imagine you are looking back on 2010 - what will you be saying about this year?

Imagine being able to say it has been an extra-ordinary year! A year that has exceeded your expectations! The year began with you creating a clear vision. You have been able to sustain the necessary clarity and focus to work with this vision. When you wavered or began to lose faith, you had some practical tools to help you stay on track.  You are now well on your way to realising your vision.

The foundation for creating a year like this is having a clear vision.

With the Christmas holidays behind us and as we enter the New Year this ‘Crystallise Your Vision for 2010′ workshop is an ideal opportunity for some quality ‘me’ time and creating your crystal clear vision for 2010.

Take this opportunity now to join Geraldine on one of her rare open workshops.

Saturday 6^th February 2010

The purpose of the day will be working to help you:

• Crystallise your vision for 2010
• Align your thoughts, feelings and action to support you bringing your vision into reality

• Sustain your focus - practical ways to retain focus
• Stay on track - tools to enable you to do this

The workshop will be a highly participative and inter-active day.  Like I say I’ve known and worked with Geraldine for some years now and I’ve yet to ask her a question she couldn’t answer, and I can ask some complex questions.

Do you have a vision for your future? 

How often do you spend time dreaming, imagining what you’d like to happen.  I’m not talking about fantasy, that’s when you dream of something you don’t believe could or would ever happen. 

In most cases we don’t allow ourselves enough time to envision our future, we’re so busy with today and our to do lists.  It’s almost the end of October and before you know it we’ll be schooching into Christmas, with bags of tinsel under our arms, hoping to make the last post and pick up a turkey.  And then 2009 will arrive.  Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun.

So if you haven’t considered your future for a while, then stick it on your to-do list.  Find a quiet space, with your favourite frappie-cappie-mocha-super-skinny drink should you so fancy, and have a think.

Now when you’ve done this imagineering what then, well write it down, it starts to crystallise your thoughts and it’s the first step on the road to making them happen. 

Next scour the Internet, magazines, and any other sources for images that represent what it is you want.  It can be an exact image, eg a car, or it can be an image that embodies what it is you want.  So it’s not a literal representation.

Then put these images on a board or large sheet of paper with blue tack or pins.  It means you can move them around into a combination that is very powerful for you.  It’s like you’re writing the story of your future. 

On a daily basis look at your vision board - drink it in, immerse yourself, feel like you have it, either the whole thing, or the individual components.

Now pay attention.  You see your vision board is what you want, but right now you won’t know the how you’re going to make it happen part.  I certainly haven’t a clue for mine.  Yet here’s the spooky thing, you don’t need to know the how’s if you pay attention, because ideas, opportunities etc they just show up.  Clearly you have to be awake to listen to them, which is why looking at your board on a regular basis is important, cos now you’re focused on what you want to create.

So here’s the recipe:-

Set aside a good 30 mins to let your imagination run riot

Write it down in glorious technicolour

Find images that best represent your future

Get paper and scissors ready and have a wonderful Blue Peter moment - remember always get an adult to do the cutting for you and you don’t need that pesky sticky backed plastic stuff, which is a bonus I say.

Stick the images on the board

View daily and move the images around until you get the best feeling (as in you feel like you have them)

Pay attention

Simple really - well some of the best things in life are.
