The strategy "Visualising life possibilities" involves creating visual tools like timelines, vision boards, and personal growth wheels to plan and achieve future goals. The "Create a life timeline" strategy emphasizes identifying key life milestones, setting long-term goals, and breaking them down into smaller steps on a timeline. For example, allocating time frames for each milestone can help in visualizing achievements and setbacks.
The "Develop a vision board" strategy focuses on collecting images and symbols that represent dreams, categorizing them, and creating a collage to serve as inspiration. It encourages placing the board in a visible location for daily motivation, using it as a guide for prioritizing tasks, and sharing it with supportive people for feedback.
Lastly, the "Map out a personal growth wheel" strategy involves assessing satisfaction in various life areas, visualizing this on a wheel diagram, and setting improvement goals. This tool supports achieving balance by regularly plotting progress and adjusting actions. It's crucial for maintaining focus on personal growth areas with potential mentorship guidance.
