When I work with women, one of the things we do is create a vision. Sometimes when I start working with a woman I get, “ Lisa, I have no idea what I want, how can I create a vision? Where do I begin?

If you are feeling similar, no worries my friend. You see, our brains are geared to protect us, to tell us what is dangerous and what’s not.

When you introduce something new, your brain is triggered to try to keep you in the comfortable.

We all have this “Fight or Flight” inside us.  The problem is that your brain doesn’t know whether you are being chased by a tiger or being challenged to try something new.

It is easy for all of us to get stuck in the comfortable. Notice when this happens, and see these moments as opportunities to grow.

Let’s get clear on what a vision is. A vision is a picture you create in your mind of something you desire in the future.

Dreams and visions are there to help you grow so you can become your best self. Often we ignore these dreams and visions when our brain discourages us for the wrong reasons. 

Your brain might tell you, “I can’t do that,” “It’s too hard,” “That dream is too big for someone like you.”

My friend, these are just thoughts that are keeping you in that safe comfort zone. Ahh, that’s what the brain is supposed to do.

Unless you learn to recognize those thoughts that keep so many of us from bringing those dreams to fruition.

So when your brain tries to trick you and it tells you, “You can’t do that.” Or, “you’re not smart enough.” Remember, those are just thoughts your brain is telling you.

You have the power to choose to ignore those little tricky lies your brain tells you and move forward closer to your wants, desires and vision. 

So, if you’re wondering what you want and how to create a vision. Take a moment to see what surfaces…

If you are finding this difficult, take time to focus on what you don’t want.

I have noticed it is often easier for women to focus on what they don’t want. “I don’t want to be out of shape.” I don’t want to by myself.” I don’t want to feel like there is never enough money.“

The key is, flipping those negative thoughts and that stuck mind chatter to positive thoughts and things that you want. 

My friends, this is important because…”What you focus on grows.”

Instead of being out of shape, what do you want instead? You might want to be fit so you can move easier or so you can slide into your favorite jeans.

Being by yourself?  Maybe you want to find a soulmate or have a fun group of friends where you can play.

Feeling like there is never enough money? Develop a mindset where there is an abundance of money.

Desires like these are perfect mini visions and great starting points where you can create and bring forth to enhance your life. 

I hope you can allow yourself to dream, create a vision for yourself, and start moving forward in the direction where you can have a more full life.
