GET CRYSTAL CLEAR ABOUT YOUR INTENTIONS

A transformation happens for those who know exactly what they want, who can state it, believe in it and who are willing to do what it takes to get there.

If you have never written a vision for your life, now is the time to start. Close your eyes and dream up the vision, the future state of your eyesight. One that would make you happy. One that is worth the time you are about to dedicate to this class, and to the practice that will get you there. One that takes your breath away.

Then write it down in your journal, so that you can come back to it, over and over again. Describe yourself as the person who can see, the person you are at the end of your vision journey. Who are you? What can you see? What do you do? What do you not do? How do you feel? What is now possible for you?

Write in the present tense, as if you were describing yourself to another person at the time when it is already done. Be specific. Be positive.

Here is a very short example, just to get you started. I encourage you to be a bit longer, more detailed and descriptive.

“With my naked eyes I see all things, near and far, large and tiny, with absolute clarity. When I look my eye muscles are relaxed, my eyes move freely and easily from one point to the next, in perfect partnership and balance. I choose to see this way right now and always.

When you have it, begin reading this to yourself every day before your practice session and many more times, should you choose.

Your vision is your ultimate goal. But, let’s be real here. It may have taken you years, perhaps almost your whole life to get your vision to where it is today. So, while miracles do happen and some people regain their vision with fast speed, it is likely that going from not seeing to seeing will take some time.

In this particular moment in time, what kind of progress would make you happy? To help you set your expectations, check out this blog post.

Use your journal and set an objective that is in line with your vision, but that you would like to accomplish in the next 4-8 weeks while you go through this program.

Practice is key. Practice is essential. You will not get results without practice. So think about your day and decide, right now, when you will practice. You need to find a time slot of at least 15 minutes, at least one time a day. The more the better, but 15 minutes will move you forward.

Think about what you need to give up to protect that practice time. How will you make it your priority? What will you do when other things come along and start calling fro your attention? Don’t fool yourself. Pushing it to later is the same as saying that it will not happen (today, or perhaps never). Come up with a plan that allows you to stick to the practice time slot of your choice.

Also, you want to practice when your eyes are fresh, not tired. Vision learning may be demanding for your eyes and your body, so choose the time when you are at your best.

Do you want to give yourself a vision boost on the weekends? Then make that part of your practice plan too.

The lack of a routine leads to the lack of practice. It is the #1 reason for students to not see progress in their vision. So be the one who does it right. We are cheering for you! You can do it.

Once your plan has been decided, write it down in your vision journal.

CELEBRATE EVERYTHING

With the goal in mind, your commitment is to the process, not the result. Remember that. So, celebrate the process and celebrate yourself following the process. Celebrate the pure fact that you read the next section of this program. Celebrate your daily practice, regardless of the results you received. Celebrate any micro changes, seeing brighter colors, clearer letters, first flashes of clarity at a new distance. Celebrate the first day you begin learning a new skill. Celebrate the day you perform it well for the first time, for the second time, for the hundredth time.

How? By rewarding yourself with things or actions. They can be big or small. They can seem to be worthless to others. As long as they feel like a reward to you, it is all that matters.

Rewards bring positive feelings. We naturally want more of those and will repeat whatever action led to having those feelings. When you reward yourself after spending 15 minutes training your eyes, you increase the likelihood that you will practice again tomorrow.

So, write down, in your vision journal, at least 5 things that you will use to reward yourself.

Here are a few ideas: making a fresh cup of coffee, going for a walk, playing with your dog, reading a chapter in the book you are currently reading, spending time in your garden, calling your friend to brag about vision improvement, playing your favorite song, giving a hug to your child, buying yourself something on Amazon, etc. Choose what drives you. Noone else matters.
