What is Vision Mapping? – A process of envisioning and freewriting or journaling.

What is Career Mapping? A personal map that includes planning a passionate career strategy with goals to get you from origin to destination. It’s a professional GPS that includes life experiences, heart desires, and possible fastest route techniques.

How Do You Combine these Concepts to Create a Confident Career Plan? Great question!

Let’s find out below.

Visualization is the process of forming mental pictures. You might have heard me say in earlier courses or blogs, “I saw in my mind’s eye…”

It can be very effective and encouraging when you’re envisioning situations pertaining to your career aspirations and plans. Visualization is widely used. I believe when it’s developed in a healthy and godly way, this process can assist and prepare you before you take action. I also believe without vision, many people are emotionally and spiritually perishing because they are struggling overcoming fear and doubt. Long struggles can lead to loss of believing you are destined to lead a hopeful and confident life.

But no worries! Today we’re kickstarting career confidence.

I begin my discussions by letting you know I do not believe in the mind having the power to create our reality. Instead, I believe that God is the creator. And when our minds are brought to Him, His Spirit responds by giving us the solutions we need to confidently succeed with the purposes and destiny He has for us. He gives us dreams, visions, and imaginations. It’s all about godly alignment, and in His light, I believe we will see light for the right career plan. 🌟

We all want to have the most successful outcomes in the work we do and the professional lives we plan. Visualization can help you navigate your career path by considering the choices and possible outcomes before taking action.

No one wants to chase a career and job aspiration that has an empty promise of worldly success without holistic fulfillment! Many people are in career crisis because they didn’t take time to practice stillness, pray about it, and let the healthiest visualization come forth!

So, what does your ideal career look like, feel like or sound like?

Crazy question? Not really.

Do you see yourself travelling, speaking to large groups or sitting at your desk with mounds of books and research tabs? What do you see yourself doing?

I remember riding on public transportation during my high school summer months looking outside the window visualizing me sitting in front of very large desk with a great big picture window behind me. I was an executive career woman. Here’s a picture of me today. I believe prayerful visualization toward my career purpose works!

 Your turn!

What career makes me feel happy to get to work to share what I’m learning on the job and exhilarated to gather new concepts exclusive to my career?

Who do I see working around me? Adults, Young Adults, Children…

What compensation would I believe is rewarding without being greedy or presumptuous? What amount would allow me to share with others so their professional or personal vision can grow? What amount would allow me to make a difference in your community?

Is my ideal career environment quiet, or bursting with energy and sound? Do I hear nature sounds or machines humming?

What am I wearing in my ideal career environment? Pajamas, jeans, or high-fashion garb?

Where is your ideal career? In your native city, state, country, in a high-rise building or on a country farm?

 

The envisioning questions I asked will help you:

·       Determine where you’re starting from and show you a glimpse of where you think you want to go;

·       Create a faster route toward your career vision;

·       Sift through the delusion of what’s on paper versus what your heart and mind’s eye is telling you; and

·       Gain insight on which experiences you want to acquire in the next two to five years to confidently grow your career.

 Visualization is a great tool to use with your career goal-setting process. In fact, it’s a healthy way to purely imagine and realize growth in every area of your life, ultimately helping you to develop a confident mindset. The Blended Self theory that I’ve shared with you is a liberation shift - - a transformation from inward to outward connection and victory!
