Imagine having a one-stop resource that informs your raw food diet and lifestyle every single day...
Imagine being able to look at this one picture whenever you need guidance, support, information or inspiration to know what your next step is to move you closer to the raw food diet and lifestyle that you want...
Imagine if all of this could be yours in just a few hours and would go on to benefit you for months and even years to come...
This is what we are talking about today, and this, my friends, is a gamechanger!
When I first introduce the concept of vision boards to my clients and students, typically half of my audience have heard of them, and only a third of those, or less, has actually created one. Assuming roughly the same figures here, I’ll briefly explain more about what a vision board is, how you create one and how you can turn it into a Raw Food Lifestyle version if that’s where your focus is right now. (Trust me, this is GREAT FUN!)
A vision board essentially is a pictorial representation of what you would like to have show up in your world in the next chapter of your life. It's effectively a montage of images that tell the story of the future you would like to have.
Your board can be created by hand by sticking images onto card or paper, or electronically within a plain document on your computer or using an online software such as canva.com.
Today it is a joy for me to be sharing with you how to create a Raw Food Lifestyle Vision Board. All of the basic essential aspects of vision boarding are the same; it is just the focus behind it and the underlying structure that is different. Very different!
Above you will see an image of The Successfully Raw Pyramid. This depicts the FOUR things that must be in place for someone to go raw and stay raw, namely:
1. Raw Food Diet
2. Ongoing Support
3. Higher Vision
4. Your Superhero Identity
I have talked about all of these at various times, especially recently during the “How to Make a Fresh Start with Raw Food” virtual workshop and the “Successfully Raw Secrets” series of calls I ran a few years ago but which are PACKED with great information about each one.
Either way, I am hoping that they are all pretty much self-explanatory if you are not yet familiar with them.
In the middle you will notice a female superhero. She represents the Superhero inside of YOU. She is your Radiant Self, your Authentic Self, your Visionary Self, even your Raw Self, if you will. (Come up with your own name if none of these move you - this is all about you!) This is the part of you that already lives and breathes inside of you and wants to reach his/her potential by taking over your diet and life!
Once you are within the heart or mind of this Inner Visionary/Superhero/Raw Self, go ahead and create your Raw Food Lifestyle Vision Board. Yes, I mean to temporarily become at one with him/her and THEN create.
This is effectively about having you step into that even more vibrant and courageous version of yourself and then asking that version of you questions about how you got there. S/he has ALL of the answers! You just have to ask the questions and listen.
So, taking into account the other three parts (food, support, vision) and the central core of IDENTITY that inspires and drives you to go/stay raw in the first place, I invite you to create a vision board that tells the story of how you’d like you and your raw food lifestyle to show up this year and beyond.
Here are some ideas to get your started of first ideas for questions to ask yourself within each section:
Remember... you are asking these questions to that future superhero vesion of you who knows what they do now and what they did to get to get there.
Raw Food
Ongoing Support
Inspiring Vision
Identity
These are just for starters, but remember, ask the questions, if you are able, from your future (Raw) Superhero Self to get the most “all-seeing, all-knowing” answers and the vision will be much more powerful and fascinating!
In terms of framework, you can simply follow the normal “montage” style layout of vision board where images are mixed up all over or bunched together in groups, or you may choose to follow the outline of the Pyramid and have food, support, vision as the three corners and your raw food superhero identity in the middle.
I invite you to play full out, no holds barred, really shine! Remember, this is the story of YOUR life, it has to feel and look good to YOU and no-one else has to ever see it.
When you are done I recommend that you pin your vision board up somewhere that is very visible to you on a regular basis, like an office pin board, bedroom wall or in the kitchen – wherever feels best. You may even wish to take a photograph of it, upload it to your computer and print out a mini version to carry in your purse or wallet. Or you might use it as your cellphone wallpaper.
The point is, when you’ve done it, keep the vision alive! In many respects you have done the hardest part, now the rest of it is waiting to show up in your world... you just have to keep on walking towards it, stay committed, focussed and passionate about it and watch the miracles occur!
Trust me, this stuff works. Although it is a lot of fun just to create the vision, the best is really yet to come – just keep walking the walk and giving yourself permission to have it show up for you. Be prepared for it to happen in “miraculous” and surprising ways though – you have been warned in the nicest possible way!
