Vision boards are great for thinking about and laying out your future. All the fab things you want to do. They can be fun to make and inspiring to look at.
That’s what I read and heard.
Then the lovely Ami gave some advice.
Not a vision board … make it an Action board. Think of all the things you need to do to achieve your goals be them the nice things or less nice.
I’m a runner and one of my goals is to get a great PB at my next race in two weeks. Today I went out to do my run with Ami’s words ringing in my mind.
She’d said that I needed to think about and visualise doing those runs I dint really want to. The weather is cold wet windy or I’m tired etc.
I had a poor sleep last night and the weather was very autumnal today. It was breezy and cool and that wet drizzle that gets you wet and steams up your glasses! But I went out and ran because I knew I could do it and I wouldn’t freeze and give up because I’d already thought about it. I deliberately ran a bit faster than normal for a long run so that my legs worked at a pace needed for my race and I was not going to get cold.
The result? I had a lovely 7 mile run that felt comfortable and was faster than I’ve been running which has given me a big boost for my race.
So when thinking about the future goals you want think about overcoming the hard stuff not just the wonderful finishing goal.
Thanks Ami … hope you enjoyed running with me today 😁
