00:00:53
Hello, and welcome back to our corner of the Universe...
Speaker:
00:00:57
and today's weather forecast is cloudy with a chance of insight.
Speaker:
00:01:04
Yes!
Speaker:
00:01:05
This morning, on my ritual sunrise walk, which starts out so that I leave
Speaker:
00:01:12
home well before the sun is scheduled to rise and I can get to a certain
Speaker:
00:01:18
point on the lake and witness the sun rising in all its glory and majesty.
Speaker:
00:01:25
It was so foggy, no one was witnessing the sun.
Speaker:
00:01:30
The world felt fluffy.
Speaker:
00:01:33
I was walking in cotton balls for a while and it was quieter than usual, as the
Speaker:
00:01:38
fog was muffling the sounds around me.
Speaker:
00:01:42
With nothing to look at, I was alone in my head with my thoughts.
Speaker:
00:01:48
As I'm doing my morning walk, I'm meditating in my head.
Speaker:
00:01:53
I'm repeating an affirmation.
Speaker:
00:01:56
In fact, I did an episode not too long ago about that, where I shared
Speaker:
00:02:01
my whole process for starting your day with a walking meditation, and
Speaker:
00:02:07
I shared my Abundance Affirmation.
Speaker:
00:02:10
If you'd like a copy of that, go back to Episode 48 and the
Speaker:
00:02:16
information is in the show notes.
Speaker:
00:02:18
Go to FreeGiftFromIsabel.com and you can download the Abundance Affirmation.
Speaker:
00:02:24
When I'm not meditating or just enjoying the scenery, I'm listening to
Speaker:
00:02:29
an audio book or a podcast like this.
Speaker:
00:02:33
This morning, I was just alone in my head, amused with the fact
Speaker:
00:02:38
that the conditions outside were mirroring the conditions in my head...
Speaker:
00:02:44
Foggy.
Speaker:
00:02:45
It reminded me of being lost.
Speaker:
00:02:48
When they say lost in your thoughts they weren't kidding.
Speaker:
00:02:51
The expression, " If you don't know where you're going, you won't get there!"...
Speaker:
00:02:57
Also came up for me.
Speaker:
00:02:59
And that's when the light came on in my brain.
Speaker:
00:03:02
What I needed was some clarity, a clear vision...
Speaker:
00:03:05
To remove all this fogginess and indecisiveness, and sit down and
Speaker:
00:03:11
create a new Visual Encore Plan...
Speaker:
00:03:15
a new vision board...
Speaker:
00:03:16
for this next part of my life.
Speaker:
00:03:19
A lot of change has happened in my life in the last year, which I've
Speaker:
00:03:24
been sharing with you, and it stands to reason that has changed me.
Speaker:
00:03:29
I've been evolving and I have been, I hope, growing in positive ways.
Speaker:
00:03:37
I feel different now and I am different than the ME a
Speaker:
00:03:41
year or five or 10 years ago.
Speaker:
00:03:44
And more importantly, I have a strong desire to be a different me in the future.
Speaker:
00:03:52
I want to be a better me.
Speaker:
00:03:54
I want to continue to grow and evolve in positive ways, so
Speaker:
00:03:59
that I can help more people...
Speaker:
00:04:02
and that I can Lift as I Climb along my journey, and have a greater
Speaker:
00:04:08
impact and live my legacy now.
Speaker:
00:04:13
Live my legacy while I am alive to impact it, and influence it, and enjoy it.
Speaker:
00:04:22
That's why I also shared a podcast episode about Live Your Eulogy...
Speaker:
00:04:28
Because it's all part of that...
Speaker:
00:04:30
Don't wait until you're dead, for somebody to try and figure out
Speaker:
00:04:34
something nice to say about you or how you've left your mark on the world.
Speaker:
00:04:40
Live it now.
Speaker:
00:04:41
All of that was a reminder to me that I need to create a brand new vision and to
Speaker:
00:04:48
go through my own process, the Visual Encore Plan, create a new vision board...
Speaker:
00:04:55
Check back in on my values...
Speaker:
00:04:58
Cause they can change, as we change and grow.
Speaker:
00:05:02
What are my motivations?
Speaker:
00:05:04
What's my purpose?
Speaker:
00:05:06
What's the why that will keep me going...
Speaker:
00:05:10
Even when times are a little foggy.
Speaker:
00:05:12
Be very strategic with...
Speaker:
00:05:15
Okay...
Speaker:
00:05:16
If that's the vision that I have, that I'm aspiring to...
Speaker:
00:05:21
Then how am I going to get there?
Speaker:
00:05:24
How do I become the person that I need to be to fulfill that vision?
Speaker:
00:05:31
I've been doing vision boards and versions of vision boards and visualization
Speaker:
00:05:37
techniques for more than 50 years.
Speaker:
00:05:40
I started as that single teen mom, with catalogs and magazines, when I didn't
Speaker:
00:05:46
have money to buy any of those things.
Speaker:
00:05:49
I was still marking those pages and cutting them out and dreaming of the day
Speaker:
00:05:55
that I would be making enough money to buy those things for my little family.
Speaker:
00:06:00
I continued to read about, and observe, other people that were
Speaker:
00:06:06
using vision boards and the visualization process successfully.
Speaker:
00:06:12
People like Oprah, like Matthew McConaughey; people that have
Speaker:
00:06:18
accomplished a great deal in their life and continue to...
Speaker:
00:06:22
Did so, because they purposely had a path and a vision that they were pursuing.
Speaker:
00:06:29
Over time, I also recognized that there was a synergy between
Speaker:
00:06:35
visualization, vision board creation, and in business strategic planning.
Speaker:
00:06:42
I didn't leave to chance where my company was going in the next year, and we
Speaker:
00:06:48
spent a lot of time putting together a carefully thought out plan for how we
Speaker:
00:06:56
were going to grow, who we were going to become, what were the resources that we
Speaker:
00:07:01
needed, and we followed that strategic plan along the way so we could go...
Speaker:
00:07:07
Check, check, check.
Speaker:
00:07:10
It was a great day for me when I realized that if you married
Speaker:
00:07:15
the two processes together...
Speaker:
00:07:18
personal visualization and visioning, with strategic planning...
Speaker:
00:07:24
That I learned in business...
Speaker:
00:07:26
I could create a Visual Encore Plan for my own life and for how
Speaker:
00:07:33
I wanted it to turn out and where I was going and who I would be.
Speaker:
00:07:38
That's the process that I created, and I used for myself...
Speaker:
00:07:42
Used with my staff, used with clients and friends...
Speaker:
00:07:47
And then the pandemic happened and like a lot of people, I realized that you
Speaker:
00:07:53
could have a greater reach and a greater impact by making good things accessible
Speaker:
00:08:01
to many people by putting that content online and offering it up to people
Speaker:
00:08:08
whenever they needed it, wherever they were, whatever time zone they were in...
Speaker:
00:08:15
I created the online version of the Visual Encore Plan.
Speaker:
00:08:19
That's what I'm going to sit down and use again for myself because I know it works!
Speaker:
00:08:26
I know it works, I have the proof many times over of when I created
Speaker:
00:08:32
that translation of my subconscious desires with the goals I had for
Speaker:
00:08:38
having an impact in my life...
Speaker:
00:08:41
Magic happened...
Speaker:
00:08:43
Magic happened, again and again.
Speaker:
00:08:45
I would love to share this with you...
Speaker:
00:08:49
If you are at a juncture in your life where you're not sure where
Speaker:
00:08:54
you're going, or you feel like...
Speaker:
00:08:57
" Hey!
Speaker:
00:08:57
There's something much more meant for me...
Speaker:
00:09:00
I believe I have a purpose, and I have the passion to do it...
Speaker:
00:09:05
But I'm not quite sure how it's all going to turn out."
Speaker:
00:09:09
I encourage you to try the Visual Encore process and see just exactly
Speaker:
00:09:16
how that will increase your enjoyment and the probability of checking
Speaker:
00:09:23
off those items on your board.
Speaker:
00:09:26
Join me as we create our encore plans together, and have that
Speaker:
00:09:32
vision in front of us for a great future, and we'll Lift as we Climb.
Speaker:
00:09:39
If you're interested in knowing more about the process and what's included...
Speaker:
00:09:45
Check it out at www.VisualEncorePlan.com and I'll include the
Speaker:
00:09:51

Speaker:
00:09:54
I'd be really excited to see a snapshot, a photograph of what you create when
Speaker:
00:10:00
you complete your Visual Encore Plan.
Speaker:
00:10:04
I'll be sharing more about my journey and celebrating with
