UNLOCK YOUR VISION WITH MYRNA WIDLEND<\/span><\/p>\n

By\u00a0Charmaine Mbatha\u00a0<\/a>\/\u00a0January 14, 2019<\/p>\n

“AUSTRALIA \u2013 Hi everyone, it\u2019s me Charmaine Mbatha, founder and publisher of Her Grit Magazine. When was the last time you created a vision board?\u00a0 Before having my coaching session with\u00a0Myrna Widlend<\/span><\/a>, an award-winning Vision Board Coach last week; I believe I was under 10 years old.\u00a0 I thought I didn\u2019t need to stick pictures on a board to set goals for myself.\u00a0 But, Myrna\u2019s technique not only humbled me, it literally changed my life.\u00a0 A wise man once said, \u201cDreams don\u2019t come true, Visions Do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nothing stops us from achieving success more than lack of clarity.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter how much you hustle, if you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going, it\u2019s basically spinning your wheels.\u00a0 I will share with you what creating a vision board has done for my year.\u00a0 But first\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

How I met Myrna Widlend<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

I love social media for its pure ability to connect us to people we might have never met sooner in person. We met on Facebook and found that we had a lot in common.\u00a0 Myrna has a great passion for helping people to identify and achieve their goals.\u00a0 I do the same thing, only using a different profession.<\/p>\n

All the way from Queensland, Australia, we connected on a personal level.\u00a0 When she told me she could help me clarify my goals for 2019 by doing a vision board, my first thought was; \u201cI am really not materialistic, so I don\u2019t want to cut out pictures of cars and houses to set goals.\u201d\u00a0 But, I am as open minded as they come, plus I was sure of Myrna\u2019s wisdom and had no doubt she knows what she doing. She\u2019s a certified professional so I took it seriously and we setup a Zoom call for our vision board coaching session.<\/p>\n

\n

How She Unlocked My Vision for 2019<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

I will not get into the process in detail, spoilers and copyrights forbid me.\u00a0 But, I will be very transparent about the effect of the process.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. She got to know me better:<\/span>\u00a0there is something special about a coach who takes time to understand where you are now and where you\u2019ve been in order to guide you.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize that in the process of getting to know me deeply, Myrna was also reminding me who I am.<\/li>\n
  2. I embraced my strengths without guilt:<\/span>\u00a0people don\u2019t know, but I\u2019ve felt guilty for the opportunities, skills, talents and accomplishments that I\u2019ve had. Not because I didn\u2019t earn any of it, I work like a donkey. Because I am constantly thinking of those who aren\u2019t in my shoes, who know and have less. This alone has been holding me back for years.<\/li>\n
  3. Let go of old baggage:<\/span>\u00a0the release exercise was funny because Myrna could relate to some of my fears and limiting ideas I had.\u00a0 Also, she was surprised that I\u2019d already done a lot of releasing on my own.\u00a0 I said; \u201cyes I do forgive and let go, it just takes me a very long time.\u201d\u00a0 Anger, resentment, pain and all those things cloud our progress so much.\u00a0 These are shackles you need to set yourself free from in order to realize your goals and make your vision come true.<\/li>\n
  4. I felt strong gratitude:<\/span>\u00a0not only for people who\u2019ve stood by me to this point of my life but also for how far I have come.\u00a0 I realized that you won\u2019t see ahead, if you don\u2019t appreciate where you\u2019ve been and what it took to be where you are today. Whether you like it or not, either be grateful for the experience or for the lesson it the outcome was harsh.<\/li>\n
  5. She showed me my power word for 2019:<\/span>\u00a0let me tell you, if you don\u2019t have clarity on what\u2019s driving you. It will be very hard to find your destination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Benefits of having a Vision Board<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

    Nooo, what\u2019s on the vision board is for mine and Myrna\u2019s\u00a0eyes only\u2026for now anyways.\u00a0 A things that truly gave me the confidence to achieve my goals I laid out is;<\/p>\n
