Treasure map - visual goal setting

For most of us, goal setting is a pretty linear, left-brained process. How about giving it a right-brained spin?

Here's an article that suggests "treasure mapping" as part of your goal setting process.

What you need to do is get a sense of what you want in each area of your life...Once you have this list, get a pile of magazines and set aside a couple of hours. Go through all the magazines and find pictures, headlines and illustrations that capture key pieces of your goals. Cut these out of the magazines and put them in a pile.

Some of these pictures can be literal things such as places you want to visit, or a car that you want. Others may be symbolic, such as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow to show wealth, or someone finding their way through a maze to show that you can figure out solutions to problems. The important thing is that it’s got to be meaningful for you.

Once you have the clippings, you can create a collage out of them.

Once you’ve arranged the clippings in a way that works for you, glue them to the card. Then post the card up where you can see it daily. In realizing goals, it’s important to have a clear mental picture of what you want, and by seeing this ‘treasure map’ daily, you imprint it upon your unconscious mind.
