Well, it’s something that some of the most successful people do every single year. And if you’re like me and something you’ve maybe thought about, but you haven’t necessarily done making a vision board, I spoke with Jana Borba a Minneapolis based life coach who works with some of the country’s top CEOs. Here’s what she has to say about those boards. You guys known Welcome to our very first WC CEO
Jasna Burza
Sunday morning could not be more happy to be here,
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
we’re so excited. And thank you for being a part of this. And I’m really excited to talk to you about one thing that you have really pushed and you’ve opened my eyes to. And that’s the idea of as we step into this new year, visualizing what we want,
Jasna Burza
yes, so incredibly important, especially when we are in the middle of things that don’t feel very good. We’ve forgotten to visualize and impress upon ourselves, that we actually are creators of our own reality. So brain and brain functioning is a very intriguing thing. Visualizing has been known for for centuries. And for they’re well researched and documented, especially with athletes, that when they visualize certain success or outcome in a game, for example, or dunking the ball or hitting the net, they do it over and over and over again. So because of that, right now, you’ve heard of something called vision boards, something that really obsessed with visualizing, we can make the little bit more concrete into our everyday and put it next to our bedside, or next to our, you know, next to our office. And we’re always reminded of what it is that
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
we want. You inspired me I did my first vision board over the weekend. You’re right,
Jasna Burza
very often people stay away from vision boards, because it seems kindergarten me right, I’m just putting my favorite things on the board. But it’s backed by science
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
can do this, and have couple goals. And also with the kids talk about that.
Jasna Burza
Absolutely. So I have my own personal goals. And I have my own vision board. And I think I’ve shared it with you a little bit before. So this is what it could look like. So for me, there’s a big theme of spirituality, I’m a full obsessed with interior design, fitness, of course, and then time and family and and nature. But we can have, you know, we have our own family goals. So as a family, everyone comes to the table, and we talk about what do we want as a family for the next year. And then everyone cuts out the the images that they want, there might be bikes or birds or, you know, whatever it is my children are enamored by, and what is our vision as a family. So vision boards can really be very individual they can be for a particular topic, or for one aspect of our lives. For example, just for health, we can have a vision board specifically for one thing, or you can be just a little bit more broad. It can be individual, or it can be collected, it can be for a partner for a couple, or it can be for the entire family.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
I love that so much. Because you often hear that phrase, oh, we just grew apart, we wanted different things. And this is a reminder that we want to sort of keep our eye on some of the common goals we have is a family and and I want to know to you believe in this so much. Have you seen this work in your life and in the life of others? It’s funny that
Jasna Burza
you ask there is never in my life been a time where my vision board hasn’t come to fruition not just mine stories story of the clients that I work with 1000s of people who see their stories come come to life because they believe so again, it is because it’s based in science, right? It’s quantum science. It’s visualizations that numerous research and studies have been done on this when we focus and we put something so easy authentic or out there, right to be so concrete, and then we look at it over and over again. If we focus on it, it grows and then we take actions because we’re inspired by their vision. Hence, we just follow through our onto our dream. So every single time.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
Thank you so much, guys, and I thank you for talking about this and being a part of our show. We’ve got many more things to talk about in the weeks ahead. Still ahead. A big thank you to everyone who donated to our home for the holidays campaign. We’re here
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
is more accessible than ever. It’s something that takes work, but I believe it’s Oh, so worth it. Here’s a life coach Jana Borzoi. On the power of self development. Yasmin, good morning.
Jasna Burza
Good morning to those a bit.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
Okay, something I’m pretty passionate about personal development. We see it everywhere right now. But why is it so important?
Jasna Burza
Personal development is the thing that makes us us. It helps us assess our life goals, and really helps us become the best version of ourselves. It helps us to be proactive, take charge of our actions. And it really shows that people who invest in personal development has success and satisfaction in life. And you know, I do believe Warren Buffett Buffett said it I do believe that the greatest investment that we can make is investment in ourselves. And that is personal development continually working on becoming the better version of ourselves.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
And another one big part of it is consuming. There’s so many things out there, but books, podcasts, advice, therapy, all of that.
Jasna Burza
Absolutely. There, there really is, I think we have to determine what we need at the time. But we don’t have to spend a dime. And it’s so readily available, especially today, there is so many incredible trainings and podcasts and books. And I think that if you’re willing, that’s all you need is time.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
And one thing that’s helped me with self awareness, as simple as it sounds, is even Instagram, following people like you, I mean, there’s a lot of people on there giving insightful advice. And like you said, it’s free.
Jasna Burza
It really is because of the social media has, there’s the double edge to it. It’s such a blessing, because we do have access to information. And I think that it does give us a moment of self awareness. Because when we get to know who we are what we want, and when we don’t want, we can design the life based on where we were, what what do we need, and I think that’s such a great, great gift. And I
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
think that’s what this is about right? Is is getting life direction and clarity at the end of the day that comes from personal development.
Jasna Burza
Absolutely. Because when we have clarity about where we’re going, what do we want to do for the the plan for life, decision making becomes a lot easier you say no to things that you know, are not part of that plan and the tasks, they really are so difficult for us. We they just don’t, they’re not as difficult because we know we have a why. And I think that there gives us an incredible focus and clarity, it gives us the motivation. And we become so much better about prioritization. And again, people who invest in themselves and they get to know themselves. There’s an incredible sense of confidence about showing up in the world, which directly relates to self esteem. And then success and productivity in the world that we’ve talked about so much of that on the show. Yeah,
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
I mean, in the end here, it’s worth it to do the work. Oh,
Unknown Speaker
all these My goodness, well, look at the world that we live in right now.
Jasna Burza
So let’s really personal development to the challenges in life. There will be tough times in life and when they when these things occur. When we have taken the time to develop, we will have greater confidence, resilience, personal and interpersonal skills, we will have better relationships and those really make up our life. So I’m such I’m such a big proponent of always working on ourselves, because it’s not just us that we’re happier. But I do believe that we make this world a better place.
Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield
I agree. Thank you so much, Jasmine.
Jasna Burza
Oh, thank you. It’s such a pleasure.
