Picture goals book

Achieving your goals requires clarity and focus. It is one thing to create effective goals but it is another to stay focused on those goals up to, and including, the point of achievement. I have discussed previously the importance of developing clarity of vision. Once you have that vision, it is important to maintain and sharpen that vision. One of the best tools for doing this is a picture goals book.

What is a picture goals book?

A picture goals book is a book which contains visual representations of the goals you wish to achieve. For each of your major goals, you include images which represent those goals for you. For example, if your goal is a holiday, you might include images that represent:

• The plane that will take you there
• The destination
• The hotel where you wish to stay
• Activities you wish to partake in
• Sights you wish to see

A picture goals book should cover each of the life areas. You can continuously add new images as you become clearer about the goal. A few minutes, each day, spent looking through your picture goals book helps to keep you focused and clear on what you wish to achieve. Not only will your conscious mind set to work on your goal; your subconscious mind will also help out.

In order to create a clear pictorial representation of a goal; you must become crystal clear about that goal. Each time you update the images, you become even clearer on the goal.

Focus

In just a few minutes each day, you can keep both your conscious and subconscious minds focused on your objectives. This also keeps your priorities to the forefront of your mind by reinforcing your goals every day. When it comes to making important decisions you will be clear on your priorities.

A picture goals book encourages your creativity. You can make the images and pictures as wacky as you like. The creativity sparked by this process can help you identify effective ways to achieve your goals. This creativity can also serve you well in many other areas of life.
