Reach for the Glue
Can't wait to live the life of your dreams in Italy? But not quite sure how to go about it?
Have you tried reaching for the glue and creating a collage?
It may sound strange but it really does work
By cutting pictures of the Tuscan hills out of glossy magazines, selecting your favourite photo of your unforgettable holiday in Como and drawing a picture of the Ponte Vecchio in Florence helps you visualise your new life in Italy.
And when you've done that, the next thing to do is write down how you visualise your life in Italy five years from now. But make sure you write in the present tense and not the future - that way you'll trick your brain into believing your dream is already reality.
Don't worry about whether or not your move-to-Italy goal seems achievable. Be optimistic and true to what you want and you'll soon find things falling into place.
After all, if you don't know what you want how can you even begin looking for your ideal job or property in Italy?
