We all have ideas that we would love to see come true. But it takes more than thought to manifest something from a mere idea. Whether you have an idea for a heated snow shovel, or you want to spend a year living in Thailand, you have some action steps to take. Moving from an idea to reality is a skill that we can all enhance.
Bring your best ideas to life with these strategies:
1. Get clear on your outcome.
Many of people have vague ideas of what they would like: more free time, more money, or a better body. But this is hugely different than specifically knowing that you want to make $100,000 per year or weigh less than 160 pounds. Specificity is important.
- If you are not clear on what you desire, you cannot expect to achieve it. How would you even know if you did?
2. Visualize daily.
Once you have a clear goal, it is important to remind yourself about it each day. How many times have you set a resolution or commitment to yourself, only to forget about it three weeks later? Just a few minutes each day can be enough to keep your intentions fresh in your mind.
- Re-writing your intentions each day is another option to try out – see how it feels for you.
3. Consider your resources.
You might only need yourself to be successful, but you might need much more. Think about the people, time, knowledge, and skills you might need.
4. Break the process down into steps.
What are the steps to get from where you are to where you want to be? Whether your idea is to build a business, lift 500 pounds, or invent a new gadget, consider how you will get there.
- Start at the end and work your way back until you reach a step you can begin today.
5. Start at the beginning.
In other words, do not worry just yet about how you are going to complete step 8. Just worry about taking care of the first step. Trust that you will find a way to take care of the latter stages of your journey when the time comes.
6. Take action each day.
Make a habit of working on your dreams at least a wee bit each day. It is too easy to procrastinate if you only work on it occasionally. Believe that doing a little each day can bring significant progress over time.
7. Assess your progress.
It is not enough to just put your head down and slog your way to your goal without putting any thought behind it. It is important to regularly take a look at how things are going.
- What could you improve upon? In what ways are you wasting your time? How much progress have you made? Lift your head up and check on how you are doing.
8. Never give up.
Aside from not having a clear outcome in mind, this is likely the biggest issue people have with going from idea to reality. Many of us give up far too easily. There will be plenty of hiccups and missteps along the way. It is important to stick with it until you are successful.
- Practice perseverance in your everyday life. Avoid giving up on the small things, and you will be better at sticking with the big things.
What do you think about doing, seeing, or accomplishing? What are you doing to make those things happen? There are several gurus that want you to believe that happy thoughts alone can change your reality. Take responsibility for your life and do your own creating. You can turn your thoughts and ideas into reality, starting today!!
