We’ve covered the first two pillars of LIFT Your Impact, Lift Your Mindset and Lift Your Influence, and now we’re on to the third and final pillar:

Lift Your Future

Visualisation is one of the most powerful techniques at our disposal. In fact, if you visualise clearly enough, your mind won’t know the difference between reality and imagination. Visualisation will help you override your fears and old stories of failure, freeing your mind to perform at your best.

“I don’t know how to visualise.”

Some people fear that this cannot work for them, as they have never been able to visualise.

Think of it like this: Have you ever felt anxious? Anxiety comes from imagining a negative version of the future. If you can let your imagination run wild thinking of all the things that can go wrong, you can visualise. In this case, visualisation is working against you, not for you.

How do we shift to visualising a positive version of the future?

First, get ready to see your future. Take a few deep breaths. Maybe even reflect on these steps while you’re taking a walk.

• Connect with your core values. (Get your code words ready!)
• Take a moment to feel gratitude for where you are now in your life.
• Be honest about your current challenges.
• Consider the greater challenges you may face in the future if nothing changes.
• Imagine a better version of the future and all of the wonderful things you may see, feel, and experience on a specific future date.?
• Focus on lifting others: How will your future make life better for them? This will keep you out of your ego and focused on your higher self.
• Think of three areas you could work on to help make that future a reality.?
• Picture yourself doing those things: Who would you call? What action could you take? What do you want them to know, do, and feel?
• Think of one thing you can do today to set this future in motion.?

Now that you have this journey clear in your mind, close your eyes. Then see each of these clearly: your current challenges, a better future, three areas to work on, and one step to take today. Take your time with this.?

When you’re ready to open your eyes, write down the actions you will take today.

When you lift your mindset, your influence, and your future, nothing can stop you from elevating your work, team, and life.?

Now, go create that future.
