Vision Statement
After the initial shock and stress of the pandemic, it is time for us leaders to start engaging fully with the post-pandemic world—for there are tougher and hitherto unprecedented challenges on the near horizon. They cannot be ignored. The planet, and her people, cannot wait.
A statement, usually a sentence or phrase, that we use in mind programming to help us access underdeveloped skills or mental resources that we have in our potential. They work because the mind’s mental pathways don’t become fixed as a child, and remain flexible into adulthood. Recent research shows that these mental programs are fluid throughout our lives, and can be shifted or changed depending on our lifestyles or needs. This usually happens without us being aware of it – when we learn new skills or step up into a new role. But it also happens without us knowing when we tell ourselves what we can and can’t do – when we program ourselves.
We can alter our mental pathways, strengthening some aspects of our personalities, by changing the words we say to ourselves in our minds. This is what a vision statement is – words we tell ourselves that help us realise the vision we want to make real. We usually need to repeat them a few times a day for at least three weeks, before we can be certain of seeing a shift.
To work, vision statements must always be written in the positive and in the present tense (see the appropriate text in the toolkit) and we recommend keeping them to the following types of formulas until you are more practised.
Each and every day I am more and more…
As each moment passes I am even more…
By day and by night I am more and more…
Here is a list of useful, tried and tested vision statements based upon years of research;
