Vision Mapping for Effortless Lifestyle Balancing

Most of us long for the effortless lifestyle, where we get up in the morning and our life is mapped out and the day just automatically flows with that map being followed. Most of us tend to live the fast paced lifestyle which can resemble a roller coaster ride with many highs and lows throughout the day.

Today we are facing not only the adjusting and re-adjusting of our own personal life, but the energy adjusting of the world which is becoming a global situation of its adjusting and readjusting. We are all facing things that we have never had to experience before, much of our experiences are new and we are learning to function in areas we have no experience in and to do things that don’t come to us naturally.

What exactly would it take for us to live an effortless lifestyle, what would it look like and what would it feel like? These are very good questions and of course there isn’t one exact answer to any of these questions as each of us are unique and have unique situations, but I can give you some general ideas that could generally apply to everyone.

• Create and maintain a daily morning exercise that centers you, could be yoga, gi gong, meditation, vision map video, walking, exercise

• Make a grateful list

• Practice positive talking and conversations, talk only about positive things

• Find time to play every day, this can include something creative, writing, singing, laughing, skipping, playing with the kids, walk on the beach, read a daily joke online; anything that will make you laugh and your heart sing.

• No matter what happens find the good in it as soon as possible

• Create and maintain a daily evening wind down routine prior to bedtime, includes watching your vision map video

Some of these things may seem very simple and insignificant; and others may be really very hard to do, but once you get in the daily habit of practicing them you will find your life has that tone of effortless and you will find much more joy.

There are many emotional hurdles for all of us, it is not the hurdles that bog us down it is how we handle them and move past them. Effortless lifestyle is developing and practicing our inner life and
using quick and easy tools that give us fast results. Most of these tools can be done anywhere and at any time, they are quick, easy and simple.

Whether we realize it or not many of us are addicted to struggling and go from one crisis to another, not even knowing that is what we are doing, it is just so automatic that it feels almost normal. We feel that it is a struggle for happiness, a healthy lifestyle and a being able to find our purpose. So many of us feel we are sort of fighting this battle on all levels, it can be physical, mental, emotional, social and even spiritual. There is that old saying of there has to be more to life than this, and there truly is; all that needs to be done is just some simple and easy exercises that create an effortless lifestyle balance

Stress Reduction with Vision Mapping

Stress seems to be surrounding us from every angle these days and even thinking about and being aware of our stress, seems to stress us out. What is the answer? Well, there are all kinds of tools that we can learn to do to diminish the stress in our life. It is also nice to know that a certain amount of stress is good, it helps us to get and stay motivated and stimulated and it also helps us to face challenges and solve problems and it can help keep us alert.

The trick is not to get over stressed and to have stress work for us, not against us; to do this we need to be in touch with how we feel and if there seems to be tension with the stress. Stress is a natural and important part of our life; however, we need to pay attention to when it becomes a liability instead of an asset.

Usually if you create a daily ritual of stress reduction practices that you start and end your day with, that will take care of moderating how you are feeling and give you control over your overall balance of inner peace. A great tool for this is to watch a motivational video every morning prior to starting your activities of the day and then again right before going to bed. This will set the tone for your day and also for a restful sleep.

While we are talking about going to bed and sleep patterns, this is a perfect time to go over your procedures you do prior to going to sleep, I always suggest that you start monitoring the time just prior to going to bed and create a slow down and calming ritual for bedtime, this will give your body a signal that it is time for bed. Watch and or listen to programs that create a calming effect, so that means no news or action programs; eliminate caffeine about 4 hours prior to bedtime; laugh and avoid challenging conversations prior to bedtime; the main idea is to take actions to make your bedtime one of peace and tranquility. Remember to watch your stress reduction video right before going to bed.

As we know stress is everywhere around us and it is what we do with it that either makes us feel in a better balanced state or makes us feel worse. Another great stress balancer is gratitude and this is something you can practice anywhere, anytime and the results are almost immediate and especially when practiced on a regular basis. We can find almost anything to be grateful for as long as we don’t dwell on what we don’t want, but to pay attention to what we do like.

Shifting into gratitude, your mind, body and spirit move into the state of joy and you feel better. If your situation is very intense, try just laughing, a big belly laugh, you don’t even have to think of anything funny, you just start laughing and you feel the shift right away. Once you feel better, the things that were stressing you out will seem to diminish and then you will be able to deal with them better.
If you find it difficult to remember things you are grateful for, start a gratitude journal and make a list of all the things you are grateful for and then carry it with you so that you will have it handy, you can also put your stress reduction video on your computer and/or handheld devises to watch at a moment’s notice; also get a gratitude stone and keep it in your purse and/or pocket to rub and remind yourself to be grateful.

So when those big stress issues like lose of a job, being laid off from a job, divorce, physical and mental challenges of a family member, floods, tornadoes, wildfires…the list can go on. This is when we need all the tools that we can get to smooth over these rough patches in our life; getting the stress under control so it doesn’t run our life is very important during these times. Stress reduction tools like vision mapping and your gratitude list are very useful and important, so keep them handy and readily available.

Is Stress at Work Only If You Lose Your Job?

Stress isn’t only if you are laid off or are let go, stress is in the work place no matter what. Getting laid off and/or your job being eliminated just adds to the stress of it all; sort of like waiting for the other shoe to drop syndrome.

Stress just seems to be everywhere in the world today, it is just sort of a fact of life. It is a fact that job related stress has increased significantly in the last decade due to the fast changing business and economic cycles with demanding workloads and job insecurity. It is now encouraged to have a backup profession you can go into just in case, which means some other kind of training and schooling; and that has an eliminate of stress involved with it also.

When we talk about work related stress we aren’t talking about the kind that is sort of healthy, like a small about of stress is sometimes to our benefit to help us perform good. We are talking about the kind of stress where the challenges are overwhelming and the work requirements are unrealistic; this type of stress is where it is damaging to the body and emotional state of the employee.

The real true story of this kind of stress is that the employee becomes less productive and then that turns into a vicious cycle of attempting to do a great job and overworking and stressing out and then becoming less productive and then back to stressing about that.

Taking a looking at stress, we can see that not all stress is bad; a good example of this is when you have a new baby, the adjustment to dealing with all the issues of the new baby in the household is stressful and also very exciting and wonderful at the same time. Dealing with stress will fluctuate from person to person; each person handles their life situations differently and the key is to pay attention to your stress levels and find tools to balance them out.

Visualization is a great tool to use for any kind of life situation you want to modify, manifest, or attract; it has been used for years now and even large corporations are starting to include this practice into their business plans and programs. Successful millionaires have used the practice for years and sort of kept it a secret, but now that this secret is out and more and more of us are using this technique to manifest what we want in our life; we are using this tool to our advantage.

To learn how to visualize there are many techniques and tools, I recommend Vision Map Videos as they are simple, easy and very productive; you can also put them on all of your electronic devises and carry them everywhere with you. You can also use meditation and master mind groups to accomplish and maintain your visualizations.

Stress does not need to destroy your life, the key is to recognize it and then find a tool to get balance with it so it isn’t controlling your life; it is about seeing your life the way you want it to look, not seeing it the way it is looking and dwelling on that. Many people call this positive thinking, but I like to call it vision mapping and planning your life visually the way you want it to be.

When you find yourself in events that seem to cause stress in your life like getting laid off from work, traffic congestion, family events that just seem to not stop, fight with the kids, fight with your spouse, and the list can go on and on, stop and take the time to quiet yourself and visualize all of these situations the way you want them to be and keep doing that until you get an essence of relief.

Keeping your stress under control is very important to your physical and mental health, stress can cause all kinds of dis-ease in your body, like high blood pressure, headaches, fatigue, high cholesterol , overweight, depression and many others; so pay attention to your stress levels and keep them in balance and your life will be so much more enjoyable.

Law of Attraction Manifests Great With Vision Map Videos

Does the law of attraction really work? Does saying affirmations over and over again really work? Are you one of the people that feel like they just can’t get it to work for them? Well, don’t feel alone, there are some things that have been implied but not really explained that can keep your hearts desires not coming in like you want them to.

The first key is that you need to get your sub-conscious and your conscious in alignment, for example, if your conscious mind says “I am manifesting a million dollars” and your sub-conscious mind is saying “ya right”, they aren’t in alignment. This is where you re-write your story and re-program your sub-conscious mind to also be in alignment with manifesting a million dollars.

This will take some practice and you have to pay attention to what those thoughts are in the background, when you find that they are telling an old story and it is a negative one, you write down how you want the new story to be and then just keep repeating it until, the new story takes precedence over the old one. About now you are going, wow, that seems like a lot of work; and yes it is, however, it really works and this is one of the reasons that manifesting hasn’t worked like you want it to.

There is a tool that can assist you to make this shift in your thinking and it is Vision Map Videos, they can be about any subject and they are for your eyes only and they help re-program your subconscious mind into seeing, hearing and believing the way you want your story to read. The video can be put on your computer or any of your electronic devices so you can watch the video wherever you and whenever you need to get back on a positive thought pattern. It is usually suggested that you watch the vision map video daily and it is best to watch it every morning and every evening, you do this on a regular basis for 30 days and you will see definite improvement in your manifesting.

The other thing that you will notice is that when your conscious mind and your sub-conscious mind are working together your stress level will become manageable, your days will be more fun, you will have a feeling of empowerment, you will enjoy life more, you will have more energy and everyone around you will be more enjoyable.

Now that you know the missing secret, get busy and take the time to practice these suggestions and see how quickly you can manifest everything that you truly want and need. If you want to create more customers and improve your income, you can use vision map videos to jump start your abundance and as far as that goes it works in any area of your life. This truly is the key to the law of attraction working.

Vision Board Will Modify Your Stress….Visualization Is Key

Stress is a word for emotional strain -- the anxiety, sadness, anger and frustration that come with everyday life. If you are under a lot of stress for a prolonged period of time, but do not feel stressed, eventually it may catch up with you and cause more serious symptoms, such as; stomach ulcers, heart problems, allergies, skin disorders, migraine.

Stress management is good, but stress elimination is even better. The good news is that stress management is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined.

Again, stress management is very individualized, therefore, it is important to find what will work best for you and one of the best ways to do this is to find a good wellness coach who will give you a personalized program, encouragement and empowerment to teach you the tools to relieve the stress in your life. Some of these tools are time management, meditation, yoga, daily exercise and mental imagery.

The basic theme of this article is get out and get moving, get whatever is creating your stress in perspective and not let it take over your whole being. This is not the same as running away from it and/or ignoring it, it is just so you don't sit and just sort of stew in what is going on. Also, when you go out and get a change of scenery, so to speak, you are less likely to get depressed and/or moody, just get off the couch which will be good for you mind, body and stress.

Have you noticed when you are stressed your self esteem sort of takes down hill spiral, your hair is not perfect, your clothes fit funny, you drop your keys, or you can not find your keys, traffic is annoying and so on and so forth. Then you do something special for yourself and bingo, you feel better, let that something be eating a good healthy meal, go shopping for healthy, interesting food and fix a super healthy meal that makes you feel special after you eat it, not, like what did I eat that for.

Watch how you talk to yourself and to others, do you use the words should, must and ought to; do have the feeling you are always last; feeling like you always expect the worst; compulsive about not being late; compulsive of always being late; these are things you can watch for in your behavior and if you are working with others and watching your own behavior, you may get the clue of some of your stress signals. The other people you are working with, interacting with, will be your mirror.

Healing With Laughter and Humor Using a Vision Board

Laughter and humor have been popular practices in healing our mind, body and spirit; there have even been medical tests and studies that have proven that this is a beneficial practice in getting and keeping well.

The power of thoughts and emotions can manifest good in our bodies as well as create what we don’t want, just by what we are thinking. Studies have shown that a positive attitude or emotional state can boost your chances of surviving almost any kind of dis-ease, but what is mostly talked about is cancer.

Now it is even common for doctors to recommend different kinds of laughter and humor to their patients as a way of improving their immune systems and other serious diseases. Some of the doctors don’t call it law of attraction, but stick with a more middle of the ground statement of, will to live and/or fighting spirit.

One of the best methods is to have a Laugher and Humor Vision Map Video that you can watch on a daily basis and in the privacy of your home, car or wherever you have an electrical device to watch videos. You can watch this as many times a day you want and create a daily habit of laughing and you can even watch it several times a day. They are fun to watch and they remind you to laugh and to have fun.

Another powerful emotion to use when dealing with illness and/or dis-ease is love and spirituality; these are great for a hopeful and optimistic attitude. Laughter helps overcome the trials of each day, and when you create a way of laughing in the midst of your illness, you automatically shift toward a frame of mind that invites a healing outlook and an intention that you can diminish the dis-ease.

Even though cancer always seems to come up when we are talking about healing ourselves there are many other instances that work well with laughter and humor, such as chronic pain, divorce, death, loss of a home, loss of a friend, credit card debit and I am sure you can think of more.

Work on making it your goal to find something to laugh at every day, and to practice taking yourself a little less seriously and what this will do is lighten the situation you are in to a level that comes with more joy.

When you laugh an enthusiastic laugh it can help to reduce stress, maintain the right blood pressure, elevate mood, boost immune system, improve brain functioning, protect the heart, it can foster instant relaxation, and the reason it does this is that it stimulates production of endorphins, a natural painkiller, and reduces levels of the stress hormone, which contributes to high blood pressure and other conditions.

They now have laughter clubs and groups which have a definite format to increase and teach people how to laugh, it is a great therapy and one of these groups would be a great thing for you to check into and see if you have one in your area. There are also laughter and yoga classes where they combine the two and this is also very effective.

Have you ever noticed that when you laugh really hard, you stop thinking? It puts you right in the present moment and there is nothing better than being in the NOW, as it leaves all of our pressing issues at rest for at least a little while. One way to do this is to learn how to, see funny instead of trying to be funny.

Watch the Vision Map Video first thing in the morning and get your day started right and for sure watch it last thing before going to bed to cleanse all the events that happened during the day.
