Aiming your Focus

I heard once that our brain receives so much data every day that it can only process around 40 percent of all it receives. It chooses what to focus on based on what it deems relevant or what is current in your life. What I mean by that is that if you look at a picture of something you wish to have every day your brain will focus throughout the day on that item and pieces of information relating to that item. In regards to vision boards, which are a popular way to visualize your goals every day, this is the reason you are able to accomplish your goals more effectively.

Recently I started my own vision board after hearing about the success of others with vision boards. I learned from a man who mentors others on how to create and utilize this project effectively. He told a story about how it took him weeks before he got the inspiration to start a vision board before he actually took action. My experience was about the same. Things kept getting in the way or distracting me from the simple task of getting that vision board completed. Finally I willed myself to get the items I needed for that board and I got it up as quickly as I could. Then when it was up, my life changed completely. I feel the influence of it daily. I have a total of nine items on my board and I stare at them morning and night. The simple act of looking at those pieces of scrap paper and those images keeps those goals relevant and current in my mind. So a greater chance of the 40 percent that my brain processes is focused on finding a way to create those items on my vision board.

I don't like to use the word 'goal' anymore. Instead, I like to say that I am 'creating'. When I look at that vision board on my wall I am creating those items in my life RIGHT NOW. While a few of my items have dates associated with them I am at work in my life making that item a reality right now. I ponder what the next step is and I do it.

Another part that is key in visualizing is the passion and emotion you evoke into your mind as you look at your board. Connecting your thoughts with powerful emotions will lead to powerful actions. When you do this daily you maintain that emotion to carry you through to completion. I invite you to visit http://3keyelements.com/new/

So get these programs and get a vision board up so you can aim your brain to focus on the items you wish to create in your life and it will happen!
