Have you heard the famous and profound words of wisdom… “A picture is worth a thousand words”? For many people, the vast majority of their education, information, and inspiration comes in the form of images, pictures, and videos. Morningstar NEWS blogs are here to help you tap into the importance of reprogramming, retraining, and rewiring your body and brain using the power of pictures to create and sustain a happy and healthy lifestyle. Many people are not feeling happy and healthy currently. Our goal is to help you understand and use concepts like Life Maps, Vision boards, and Wheels of Life to better manage and plan your personal development and self-growth for success.
Without focusing on our code of conduct and core values, it is easy to slip into unhealthy habits and an unhealthy lifestyle. The theme of this blog, “Energy Psychology – What if a Picture is Worth a Thousand Words?”, is devoted to helping us reset and rewire our thinking to help us update and upgrade our body, mind, and spirit. Energy Psychology offers many proven principles to help us reprogram our emotional, mental, and physical destiny. When our conscious and subconscious mind are tuned into what is most important in life, we are able to attract and manifest the happiness, health, and harmony we desire. When we discover the many different disciplines of Energy Psychology, we have access to over 101 powerful protocols to help us design and manifest our best life. Our Energy Psychology blogs help us access the references, role models, and resources for more rapid results.
In our fast-paced modern world, it is easy to get distracted and misdirected. Modern life is full of ads, bad news, commercials, distractions, media hype, political propaganda, social media, temptations, and warnings. Our immune cells are weakened by disturbing, negative, and tragic pictures and words. We often allow these distractions to derail our happiness and health. When we allow the world to overload our emotional, mental, and physical state we end up in a sympathetic state which is fight, flight, or freeze oriented. When we are stuck in a stressed and sympathetic state, we often feel sad, sick, stressed, and struggling. Living in a constant state of stress is likened to death by a thousand cuts. See the previous blog Energy Psychology A-Z – Reprogramming Retraining and Rewiring Our Body and Brain for helpful insights. To remain in a calmer and parasympathetic state, we need a COMPASS and Global Positioning System (GPS) to help us navigate this world. Everyone can benefit from knowing how to use a Life MAP, Vision Board, and Wheel of Life to navigate the game of life. These are simple techniques and tools to help us orient our body and brain to adopt and maintain healthy habits and avoid unhealthy ones.
Morningstar NEWS’s passion and purpose are to help people with education, information, inspiration, and motivation to learn more about helpful Energy Psychology principals to help support your body, mind, and spirit. The Energy Psychology series of blogs offers a wide range of choices to reset, restore, rethink, and retrain your body and brain for happiness and health. We first designed the concept and term Life MAP over 20 years ago and drafted a book to share the process that is way overdue to be published. It is an extremely easy and powerful peak performance technique to use.
Power of a Life MAP
If you do not have a blueprint, map, or plan for your life, then someone else with a plan will use you as a pawn in their plan. Our belief systems, conditioning, and education are the primary factors that determine how we act, behave, and think. The first seven years of life creates the majority of the coding, operating system, and programming that runs our life as adults. It is imperative we learn how to program and reprogram our belief systems with updated and upgraded information to better align our body, mind, and spirit towards our passion and purpose in life. With many great resources and role models I discovered the benefits to creating a written blueprint for life called a Life MAP. If a picture is worth a thousand words then imagine the power of a Life MAP with a hundred+ pictures. To create a Life MAP you first invest in thinking time to determine your current belief systems, operating systems, and programming. After you determine what is working and what is not working well yet, we reset our COMPASS and GPS to our new updated and upgraded destiny.
- Align our body, mind, and spirit with pictures that help us remember our higher serving beliefs and behaviors to create a happier and healthier lifestyle.
- Belief systems determine our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Update and upgrade beliefs with vivid pictures of who we must be.
- Code of Conduct acts as a GPS, operating system, program, and software for our lifestyle. Pictures are worth a thousand words and help us stay on track.
- Core Values help design blueprints and Life MAPs that direct how our body, mind, and spirit manifest.
- Decisions determine our destiny…choose wisely. Use pictures to help you stay focused every day.
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping is a valuable tool for maintaining emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Look at your Life MAP and tap.
- Food is our fuel and medicine. What pictures will be on your MAP to remind you to feed your body, mind, and spirit healthy fuel on a daily basis?
- Incantations and affirmations while looking at your Life MAP are incredibly powerful for anchoring in your optimal outcomes.
- Life choices and decisions are the driving force that determine our focus and results. Life MAP’s help us remember that our decisions determine our destiny.
- Meditation, mindfulness, and music can help reprogram your body, mind, and spirit. Looking at your Life Map before meditation plants powerful seeds.
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a powerful process to help us reprogram our nervous system. NLP magnifies the benefits of Life MAP’s.
- Peers can help maintain our old belief systems or help reprogram new belief systems. Sharing our Life MAP with peers we trust is a powerful process for accountability.
- Questioning everything about our old belief system is a great step to determine what has been serving us or sabotaging us. Questions lead to answers for our Life MAP.
- Reprogramming our mind is easier to do when we have a blueprint and Life MAP to guide us.
- Visualization is a powerful reprogramming technique. A Life MAP with inspiring pictures helps keep us focused on our priorities.
Creating a Life MAP and using these simple strategies can help us reprogram our old limiting belief systems with more empowering ones. When our happiness, harmony, and health are high priorities, investing the time to create a written set of plans is more effective than daydreams. Our body and mind think more clearly with images and pictures to maintain our attention and focus. Life MAP’s help reprogram ourselves more easily and effectively. Be careful to avoid the blueprints and road maps that others use to brainwash, hypnotize, and sidetrack you. A Life MAP will program and reprogram our belief systems to support our life journey and cancel out most of the distractions and noise, meant to capture our minds, money, and time with their agenda. BTW there are eight important areas to focus on and map our future. These eight will be highlighted in the Wheel of Life and future blogs.

Powerful Process – Wheel of Life
A wheel of life is a coaching, guidance, and reflection process where we rate ourselves in a variety of areas to get a better view of the quality of life we are living. By rating how we are doing in each area of our wheel of life we can gain insights and make adjustments to improve. Remember… we can always learn valuable lessons from our past and present to be more aware and mindful in the moment, and make better decisions in the future. By periodically rating our life is a variety of areas we can make adjustments and steer our life back on the course and path to manifest the destiny we desire. We can also reset our body and brain, much like we adjust the cold and heat settings on a thermostat. We can make better decisions when we remember the memories and programming that led us to where we are today and how to get where we want to be in the future. As we rate our wheel of life we can adjust and reset our operating system and reprogram our belief systems to better serve us in the future. Reflection on our past leads to insights to help us make better choices and decisions in the future. With a 360-degree view, we may gain key insights and life lessons. Seeking feedback and guidance from key coaches and peers can help us gain that 360 degree perspective.
My eight areas for a wheel of life review include:
- Body
- Mind
- Spirit
- Relationships
- Education and growth
- Career and business
- Finances, planning, and resources
- Abundance and Contribution.
