Of the thousands of folks from every country in the world who actually set themselves those new resolutions, did you know that within just a couple of weeks, as many as 95% of them have scrapped their resolutions completely? So what happens to all that good intent, desire, and wanting to reshape their lives into something better than the one they had the previous year? Funny enough, the ‘wanting a better life’ feeling is still there inside all those people, but they just took the wrong approach; they chose the negative aspect rather than the positive one. That’s how vision boards can help.
Normally people associate the New Year with a new and fresh start to their life, almost like breaking away from all the bad stuff and starting over again. This is why they make resolutions. But what is a resolution? Think about all those resolutions you made yourself in the past;’ I want to quit smoking, or I want to lose some weight or I should get out and exercise more’.
See a pattern? All those resolutions are a negative statement. They also move you away from having your pleasure, such as smoking or over indulging, to stopping having a pleasure, and all because it is supposed to be good for you. Not because you really want to stop enjoying that pleasure.
The main explanation why so many resolutions don’t succeed is easy to understand. When you tell yourself that you want to stop doing something, such as “I don’t want to smoke again” you have taken a negative view. You are not asking the Law of Attraction in the way to get the right response in return. The law of the Universe does not accept negatives, so negative words are completely dismissed; ‘don’t want to’ becomes ‘want to’ and The law of Attraction responds accordingly and keeps you smoking away.
Secondly, why this request or resolution would not work is because your subconscious mind is reluctant to change, even if it means positive change. Your request to stop smoking will be rejected by your subconscious because it loves habit and stability, no matter how much your conscious mind wants to bring about change.
Thirdly and probably the easiest reason to come to terms with is that you are telling yourself to stop doing one of the things you like to do; No one wants to stop doing what they like do they? That’s why that 95% of all those New Year’s resolutions fail within 2 weeks or so.
So how can you stop doing the things you know are bad for you? The answer is simple; you look at the ‘thing’ you want out of your life and you rethink it from a negative to a positive; from a ‘don’t like’ to a ‘like’, and that simple technique will work every time for you. Vision boards will do that for you.
Making sure your thoughts remain upbeat and positive is what vision boards do best. Look at the example of the negative ‘don’t want to smoke’ resolution. If you had thought positively you would have turned that negative request over to a positive one by pinning inspiring photos of sports stars and athletes onto your board and written a great affirmation saying “I feel great! I am fit and healthy”. By doing it that way, you WANT to be fit and if that means giving up smoking then that’s all part of it!
Your negative outlook has changed to a positive one just by using vision boards. Even better is that the positive thought is being drilled down into your subconscious mind more and more every time you look at those fitness images. Looking at the images and feeling good about them keeps you focused on your target for fitness and therefore means that you achieve your original intent of quitting smoking too.
