In the old West, when someone was a wanted criminal, the local Sheriff would put a picture of the criminal along with details about him and details about the reward for finding him on “Wanted Posters” all over town.
You can make a Wanted Poster detailing your goals and the rewards for achieving them.
Take These Steps to Visualize Your Goals Daily
In this article, Dr. Davenport explains how you can make a different kind of “Wanted Poster” designed to help you see and achieve your goals.
-
Buy a large poster board. Buy one big enough to show all your goals in one place.
-
Write “WANTED” across the top of your poster board.
-
Find pictures, phrases, and/or slogans that best show your goals. A picture is truly worth a thousand words: if you can see your goals, you can achieve them. If you want to lose weight, get pictures of skinny people to put on your poster. If you want to save enough money for a new Ford Mustang, put pictures of the color Mustang you want on your poster. Be specific about what you want so that you can see yourself achieving what you want.
-
Carefully glue these items to your wanted poster. Label each illustration that you place on the poster for each of your goals.
-
At the bottom of your poster write, “REWARD: A FULL AND EXCITING LIFE!” I know it’s kind of corny, but it’s true! If you can’t be corny for yourself, who can you be corny for?
-
Put your poster up where you will see it every day to remind you of the goals you are striving to achieve.
