Why Create A Vision Statement?


Why is it important to create a vision or goal statement?  Because people with visions are generally happier people.  They have something to look forward to every day ..... something to get out of bed for every day.  Visions, or goals, can focus on all areas of life .... financial, family, spiritual, health .... and can come in all sizes.  However, no matter if you are looking at a smaller, short-range goal or a larger, long-range goal, the steps required for success are the same.  One of those steps is establishing a "goal or vision statement".  It helps you to drill down what your goal is so it can be attainable and aligns with your vision to maintain balance in all areas of your life.  So, how does a person go about creating a vision statement?

How To Create A Vision Statement
Why is it necessary to write it down?  Because then it is in front of you .... on paper .... you wrote it.  It is like making a contract with yourself.  One way to do this is by using the S.M.A.R.T. method:
Specific:  State what you want to accomplish > "I will work out every day"
Measurable:  Use a specific "quantity" to make it trackable > "I will work out 30 minutes every day"
Attainable: Your goal must be realistic...reasonably reachable > "I want to do 20 pushups" vs "I want to do 100 pushups" 
                       Which one is more realistic, more attainable for you?
Relevant: Make sure your goal is something you care about and not what others care about.  If you are satisfied with your                      excercise regimen then focus more on another area you would like to improve such as switching up to a
                     healthier diet or making your home non-toxic.
Time-bound: A goal will never be accomplished unless there is a deadline...a time frame for completion.  


The Mayo Clinic recommends "at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity". So, what would a S.M.A.R.T. goal look like for this?

"To exercise for 45 minutes, for 4 days every week by the end of 3 months".  

Remember the point is to accomplish your "vision" by the deadline or end of the time-frame established ....  not to start out with it.  So, start out small and gradually build up for success.

My Freedom Journey

 
People, including doctors, thought we were crazy...all in our heads.  After all, how could normal, every day household and personal product smells affect your ability to function, to cause you to be incoherent and feel shaky inside, to have an emotional break-down?  Inside we were dying.  Outside we appeared normal. 
Fragrances were, and are, part of every day, normal life.....candles, laundry, cleaning, perfumes.  Everyone and their neighbor used them.  For us, we either had to isolate ourselves or suffer the following day or two with a toxic hangover.  Isolation is never a good option, especially with children.  During the summer it was impossible to go outside without inhaling someone's laundry or the recent lawn product application.  My husband was so bad one summer that he could eat constantly and, yet, still lose weight.  Every month I would get a sinus infection and/or chest congestion. 
Then came the food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders.  How could food cause my ears to be red and hot, my cheeks to flush, and cause my entire body to break out multiple times in a horrendous, red, itchy, inflamed rash only to burn when scratched and ooze yellow, sticky fluid?  Imagine, every day having gauze pads over the majority of your body under your clothes and hoping the rash doesn't drain so much that it soaks through your clothes.  It would take months to disappear.  People said "just get a cortisone/steroid shot" for relief.  They could not understand why that was not my choice
By discovering and eliminating my many triggers, finding a new, non-toxic way to support my immune system, my liver, and my thyroid, I have not had a major skin breakout for about 3 yrs and have been able to manage my autoimmune disorders without the use of standard medication. 
I finally found a way to acquire "Freedom from Toxins", "Freedom to Achieve Wellness", and "Freedom to Choose".
