Storyboard your 2018

No... it’s not a new snow sport but a way to achieve your goals in the coming year!

You may have heard of Dreamboarding*.. A dreamboard (or vision board) is a visual tool that serves as a visual representation and reminder of your dreams and your ideal life. (A picture’s worth 1000 words!) In addition, some people believe that a dreamboard activates the Law of Attraction* and Reticular Activation*. Many successful people practice this. This is your WHY.

Storyboarding* is breaking the coming year into segments; much like how movie-makers visualize scenes in a movie. What does the end of the first quarter of 2018 look like: what have you done, who do you know. what have you learned, where are you living/working, how do you spend your time? This is the HOW to get to the results you want.

You can create a collage (like the one on the right) to represent the things you want in your life. You can post this on your wall or, what I did, was take a picture of this and use this as my screen saver on my computer... As they say, “out of sight is out of mind” and by keeping your dreams in front of you every day, you will be reminded, every day, of your commitment to the HOW and your WHY!

I’ve mentioned in past articles that one of my favorite words is IMAGINEER (coined by Walt Disney). Dream/Storyboarding is an implementation of this process: IMAGINE what you want and then ENGINEER its manifestation.

Another strategy is to share your dreamboard with others... Accountability is a great way to help you stay on track... Now, time to get your BOARD ON!
