Has your vision board failed to fulfil it’s promise? Are you still waiting for it to come true?
Recently a client said to me: “I’d like to make another Intuitive Vision Board although I’m still waiting for the last one to come true.”
“Wait a minute”, I said to her. “I remember you wrote to me about a result you’d had. Did you forget about that innocuous garden shed with the colourful bunting on your board? What it turned out to be and what it prompted you to do next?
“Remember how it made you look twice at the disused shed in your neighbour’s garden and prompted you to ask her if you could take it on, do it up and use it as a coaching studio – and she agreed? Consequently you invested in a Conscious Parent training programme and started coaching families from there. It seems to me that was a significant shift brought about by your vision board – and you’ve forgotten about because you’ve given up on your vision board.
“And perhaps, more importantly, there is still a major obstacle in your life that continues to surface during our coaching conversations. You know what it is – and less you forget, there is a distinct motif on your vision board to remind you of it .
“The full potential of your Intuitive Vision Board can’t be fully realised until that stumbling block is addressed – and only you can do it. It’s you that’s getting in your own way.”
Don’t blame your vision board for not fulfilling its promise if it’s you that’s getting in your own way
Maybe you are ready to make an Intuitive Vision Board.
Ready to explore other pathways above and beyond your current life trajectory.
Prepared to contemplate alternative points of view that can add forward momentum to your life.
However, creating your Intuitive Vision Board is only the first part of the story. Certainly it reveals the land of possibility that lies ahead. The beat of the creative energy drum that wants to reverberate through you. The gift of potential waiting there specifically for you to take advantage of.
Part two of the story is up to you. Will you actually do what’s required of you.
You always have a choice – whether to engage with the energy that’s summoning you, or deny yourself the opportunity it represents. If you choose to do nothing, it’s not the vision board that’s holding you back. It’s you.
So try not to shy away from any images that have appeared on your vision board but you feel ambivalent about. Those you’re attracted to but also cause you to pull back. The stronger your aversion, the more likely there is something important in the image for you to grasp which can only reveal itself in time.
It could be the image is signifying an obstacle to your progress, but you resist addressing it because the prospect daunts you. This is your particular growth edge and can feel scary because the ground is unfamiliar. You won’t know what treasure lies beyond that stumbling block until you take the first step towards it.
What’s causing you to back off the image is a fear of the consequences maybe. This was certainly the case for my client above. But these hesitations are only thoughts and judgements you have, passing over you like clouds; your view of the outcome, which you’re taking as the truth yet it might bear little resemblance to what happens in reality. You won’t know until you try.
Not that the creative potential nesting in your intuitive vision board will mind too much if you’re not up for it. It will simply move on and find someone else to collaborate with to bring the particular idea into form. Someone who is more determined, more focused and braver than you are to act on the intuitive insights received.
The game plan was laid out for you. It’s no good lamenting that your vision board didn’t work when you are the one that robbed yourself of its wisdom.
However, redemption is still possible.
May I suggest you take a look at your vision board now if you have one. Single out any image that troubles you and contemplate the thoughts and feelings that you associate it with. Follow your instincts and see where they take you, without deciding in advance you know where they are leading.
Capture your thoughts in writing. You don’t need to know what they mean right away. Trust that the meaning will emerge quicker when you let go of pestering it for the answers.
The most important thing is that you take action towards what the image is prompting you to do even if it’s not linear or logical.
If you’re still concerned your vision board isn’t delivering its promise then do book an intuitive reading with me and let’s see what we can uncover.
