Create a Powerful Personal Mantra | LAYC56

Create a Powerful Personal Mantra | LAYC56

A mantra, word, phrase, or hashtag for your vision board and or growth stage of your life, is very powerful reminder of your intention of how you want to feel and what your desired outcome is.

Each time I start a new Visual Encore Plan, I choose a word or phrase as an anchor to the vision I am creating for my future, and outcome I desire.

Sometimes, I have to work a little harder to choose the perfect mantra. This time the words TUNE IN kept showing up with such strong vibration, I knew this was meant for me now.

As Esther Hicks and Abraham say, I intend to be TUNED IN, TAPPED IN, and TURNED ON!

Listen to this episode to learn more about the power of choosing your verb and take action to live your legacy.

If part of your visualization, includes living or working in another country, you will find some very helpful information in a blog series at The Encore Catalyst about EXPAT living and especially about Dubai and the Middle East region.

Isabel:

Today, not only am I your reinvention tour guide,

Isabel:

but I'm also putting on the cap as your travel tour guide.

Isabel:

Yes, I am traveling and I'm excited to share part of my trip with you.

Isabel:

I am recording this podcast from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Isabel:

I am fulfilling one of my bucket list on my vision board.

Isabel:

Absolute joy traveling again after not traveling for a while, but also to be

Isabel:

visiting my daughter and my grand puppy.

Isabel:

You may know, if you've read the blogs...

Isabel:

That my daughter is an expat, who has lived and worked in the Middle

Isabel:

East, for most of the last 12 years.

Isabel:

In fact, during COVID, we did an interview series...

Isabel:

3 episodes...

Isabel:

About expat living.

Isabel:

So if you are interested in knowing a little more about

Isabel:

this part of the world...

Isabel:

What the experience is like, or...

Isabel:

Perhaps you are considering as part of your vision for your future, your

Isabel:

Encore plan, living and working in a different part of the world...

Isabel:

Then check in at TheEncoreCatalyst.com Blog, and

Isabel:

read more about that opportunity.

Isabel:

I considered an opportunity to travel and visit and live

Isabel:

in other parts of the world.

Isabel:

It really feeds my soul, my need as a lifelong learner...

Isabel:

To get to know more about other people, other cultures,

Isabel:

other foods, other languages...

Isabel:

Just other environments...

Isabel:

Because it makes me richer, my life experience richer.

Isabel:

Diversity is just such a delicious word to me.

Isabel:

The diversity of my own experience and the encounters.

Isabel:

The opportunity to make new connections, new friends around the

Isabel:

world is a very important aspect of Lift As You Climb, and my vision for

Isabel:

the Lift As You Climb Foundation.

Isabel:

That is my overarching goal in my life.

Isabel:

My raison d'être...

Isabel:

The legacy piece that I live for...

Isabel:

Live to...

Isabel:

Live my legacy, and to be present to experience it, and influence it.

Isabel:

So today...

Isabel:

Reporting from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates...

Isabel:

This has been a great trip so far.

Isabel:

I've been about two weeks here.

Isabel:

Had the opportunity to be here to celebrate their National Day.

Isabel:

For those of you who don't know...

Isabel:

There are 7 Emirates that joined together 51 years ago...

Isabel:

To create the United Arab Emirates...

Isabel:

To Lift each other, as they climbed into more economic stability, and

Isabel:

really becoming a presence...

Isabel:

A force on the global stage for development and economic impact.

Isabel:

Yes, everything in Dubai is...

Isabel:

Bigger...

Isabel:

Glitzier...

Isabel:

More...

Isabel:

Just...

Isabel:

More!

Isabel:

But also, there is this amazing opportunity to experience traditional

Isabel:

cultures and foods and at the same time meet people from all around the world.

Isabel:

It's a very vibrant, global population here.

Isabel:

Strong expat community.

Isabel:

The tourism industry is alive and well...

Isabel:

So if it's on your bucket list to travel to this part of the world...

Isabel:

I encourage you to do so sooner and often.

Isabel:

Now you know that traveling is on my vision board, and is very

Isabel:

much a part of my planning...

Isabel:

My Encore planning.

Isabel:

So therefore, I use my own resources...

Isabel:

The Visual Encore Plan.

Isabel:

My guided, intensive program where I take myself, and my client, and

Isabel:

my friends and family through this process of really thinking about why

Isabel:

you want to do something in your life.

Isabel:

What it looks like.

Isabel:

How you are going to show up.

Isabel:

What do you want the outcome and the experiences to be.

Isabel:

From that visual representation, Not just a vision board with

Isabel:

just cutting out pictures.

Isabel:

It's an exercise, very thoughtful and purposeful assessment.

Isabel:

Where you're tuning into really what's important to you now.

Isabel:

Not who you used to be, but who you are now, and who you want to become next.

Isabel:

Speaking of tuning in...

Isabel:

One of the modules in the program is called verb...

Isabel:

and that's the section where I talk about the value and the purpose of having

Isabel:

a theme word or phrase, or a mantra, that signifies or encapsulates the

Isabel:

theme of that particular vision board.

Isabel:

I also believe that vision boards are in my vernacular, Visual Encore Plans...

Isabel:

Are not something that you just do once a year...

Isabel:

Like a New Year's resolution.

Isabel:

They are done at times of transformation...

Isabel:

When you're moving from one stage of your life to another, or you wish to.

Isabel:

If you are thinking that where you are now, is not where you should stay...

Isabel:

Then creating that visual representation will help you get there with much

Isabel:

more certainty and much more joy.

Isabel:

That's why I call it an Encore Plan, because there is a whole

Isabel:

methodology about that creation.

Isabel:

So Verb...

Isabel:

Each time I create a new Visual Encore Plan.

Isabel:

I choose a word or a phrase, that is my frequent reminder...

Isabel:

That voice in my head to stay focused on...

Isabel:

To keep my vision vivid and visible.

Isabel:

Sometimes I just need to have a reminder of an auditory or a written fashion.

Isabel:

Some years I have worked more at figuring out what the right word is.

Isabel:

The perfect word that goes with the plan.

Isabel:

But this year, it was given to me.

Isabel:

The universe provided loud and clear, the message that my verb for this term is:

Isabel:

Tune In or Tuned In.

Isabel:

There were many ways that showed up and appeared in my life to say...

Isabel:

Yes...

Isabel:

Very important for you right now, Isabel...

Isabel:

To Tune In.

Isabel:

In many areas and in many ways, tuning in, as in being present, as one of

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:08:44

To be Tuned In, Tapped In, and Turned On.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:08:54

Tuning into my frequency, tuning into being present and aware.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:01

Appreciative of how I'm feeling, listening to my body, listening to

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:08

the messages that my gut in my heart and mind are saying that they're,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:16

they're like the tuning fork as to,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:20

Does this feel good?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:22

Is this right for me?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:25

Or is this triggering a, a negative feeling, a negative vibration?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:32

I need to be tuned into those senses and messages

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:38

. You really have to be

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:42

Because if you are feeling negative and you are doing much thinking about that...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:47

Focusing on what you do not want...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:50

Then that is what you are attracting,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:52

But knowing what you don't want and then focusing your thoughts

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:09:58

on the opposite of that...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:00

Instead of...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:01

I choose this.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:04

Being tuned into those days where we all have it.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:10

Negative conditions may prevail and tempt us to go down that rabbit hole.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:16

Tuning in keeps me looking forward, looking positive, and

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:22

being aware of what I don't want.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:25

What I don't like...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:27

What is no longer serving me.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:30

And that includes " Who" as well...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:33

Who...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:33

No longer is best for me?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:35

Who I have outgrown?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:38

Or...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:38

Who's intentions are not in alignment?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:43

Who's values are not in alignment with mine?

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:47

If you think as a baby boomer we were exposed to the dial

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:52

on radios and televisions...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:54

Sometimes there was some finagling or fiddling that had to be done to

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:10:59

tune into the best signal that was being transmitted through our set.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:06

I feel that's what I'm doing myself now by tuning in.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:12

I am moving my dial a little bit, to get the most clarity about what I want.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:19

Hearing very clearly what are the steps...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:23

The actions...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:25

The habits...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:26

The behaviors that support the result, support the program

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:32

that I am writing for myself.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:35

If our car isn't running at optimum levels, we have it tuned up so that it's

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:42

more efficient, and we can go places.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:46

That's what's anchoring for me with my Visual Encore Plan, I am

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:53

tuning up a lot of areas in my life.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:11:56

Physical, Emotional, Financial, Relationship, Spiritual, Intellectual.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:07

These are all the areas I'm looking at to say...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:11

What needs to be refined, tuned in, dialed in...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:18

So that I am in the most optimal place to go on,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:24

and really fulfill all of the plans that I have for my life and my legacy,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:31

and enjoy it all along the way.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:35

Now you don't have to fly 8,000 miles, to figure that all out yourself.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:41

You could take a look at the Visual Encore Plan and see if that process,

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:49

that methodology, resonates with you and helps you to come up with the

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:55

right theme, the right word for you.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:12:59

For your next Encore stage.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:03

And if you do...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:06

If you come up with that word, when you do...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:09

I would love if you share it with me, and I can share it

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:15

with the rest of our audience...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:17

Because it's always inspiring to me to hear what other people discover...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:24

About what's the trigger word, or the anchor word, or phrase, that

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:30

represents the vision that they have.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:34

For the next and best stage of their lives.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:38

If I can help you in any way with your plan for the next stage of your life...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:44

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:52

All right, for now, I'm going to sign off...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:13:57

And get back to being present, tuned in, and enjoying every moment I have

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:05

here in Dubai with my daughter...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:09

Fulfilling the vision board, and the plan...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:13

That began all of this for me.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:16

In the meantime, I really hope that you are thinking about the vision that you

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:23

want to fulfill for your life, and get started on creating that representation.

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:30

So that you live it...

my heroes, Abraham Hicks, says 00:14:33

Live your legacy, and Lift As You Climb!
