This is a great visualization exercise to help you to achieve specific goals (dreams). List your goals on an index card in big bold lettering. Gather up symbolic representations of what your life will look like once you have achieved these goals. Some items you could use might include travel brochures, magazine clippings of your dream home or literature from car dealerships. Glue the index card to the center of a large sheet of construction paper.
Next arrange the symbolic items that represent your goals around the card until the collage is pleasing to look at. Hang your completed dream collage in an area that you are sure to pass every day (i.e. your refrigerator, the ceiling over your bed, etc.). Every time you pass the collage, practice making a conscious effort to engulf yourself in the picture you have created of your future life.
Meditate on how you will feel driving that new car or using your key to open the front door of your lavish home or whatever it is that you have envisioned. Own the dream. Over time, you will find that by ritualizing your dream in this manner, it will seem more believable and easier to achieve. Obstacles will fall away.
