How To Motivate Yourself Using A Dream Book

March 14, 2009 , 9 Shawn

I believe that you have your own dream to achieve and you know what your goals are in your life. Many people live a mediocre life because they are not clear of what they really want in their life. You must always remember this, where you come from is not important, the key is where you are going.

Although that knowing what you want is the core factor that will determine your success, but knowing what you want to achieve in your life cannot guarantee that you will achieve it. This is because people are lazy. They know what they want and they set clear goals to achieve them. However, they still fail to make their dreams come true because of the lack of action.

Your action is highly determined by your state of motivation. When you are down, you will never get things done. Even if you get things done, you will never get it done in the right and perfect way. Therefore, in order to achieve what you want in your life, you must take massive action and to take action, you must put yourself in an empowering state.

You can simply achieve this ‘high level motivational’ state by simply using your dream book.

What Is A Dream Book?

A dream book is a book that you created yourself that will work as the most powerful visualization tool for your future. It represents your dreams, your goals, and your ideal life. Your mind thinks in pictures and not words. Therefore, if you can create a dream book full of pictures and inspirational quotes, it will definitely become your most valuable motivational source.

How A Dream Book Motivates You?

It is because of all the pictures and inspirational quotes you pasted, draw or write in your dream book, it will help you to visualize about your dreams. Think about it, if your dream car is a BMW 5 Series and you create a dream book about it, when you see it, you will visualize the feeling of owning it, driving it and showing it to your friends. This will activate the law of attraction and it will motivates you to achieve your dream car even more.

How To Create A Dream Book?

Find pictures that represent or symbolize the experiences, feelings, and possessions you want to attract into your life, and place them in your book. And remember, you must have fun with the process. Don’t force yourself to do it if you don’t like it. You must do this when you’re feeling happy about it and when you feel inspire to do it.

Use photographs, magazine cutouts, pictures from the Internet–whatever inspires you and put them into your dream book. This includes not only pictures, anything that speaks to you and you find motivational you can include them into your dream book as well.

To make your dreams even more tangible, you can include your own pictures into your dream book. Use only the words and images that best represent your purpose, your ideal future, and words that inspire positive emotions in you.

What Should You Do Next?

After you have created your dream book, what are you going to do next? Try to put your dream book right beside your bed. If possible, leave it opens so that you can see it every moment before you sleep and every time after you wake up. This will create more solid images about your dreams into your subconscious mind.

The time you spent visualizing in the evening before you sleep and morning right after you wake up are the most constructive time to manifest your dreams.

Remember, you must visualize and go through your dream book everyday in order to activate the law of attraction in your life. When you do this, you will be amazed by how fast your dreams actually come true.

This book will document your personal journey, your dreams, and your achievements for that particular year. It will become a record of your growth, awareness, and expansion that you will want to keep and reflect back upon in years to come.
