Are you thinking of making a New Years Resolution? This is a good technique any time of the year !

If you decide to make a change in your life , it doesn't have to be at any particular time of the year.

If you want to work on making a change , though , and you don't know where to start , a technique called mindmapping is really useful. It is not a mystic-type thing although it may sound like it . It is just a way to make a chart that will help you start with an idea and to grow your idea from there .

You start with a circle ( with your idea written inside) . Then add a straight line and make another circle . Write something that would branch off that idea.

Here is a better explanation :

To make it fun you can use different colors for different branches . You can also add themed stickers and pictures from magazines to go with the ideas.

This is a great way to sort out anything going on in your life and it is a great stress reliever to see the problem or challenge mapped out in front of you with clear steps to take to get to your goal .

Try it ! This technique has helped me create ideas and solve problems. I just thought that I would share it with my fellow Aidmates because it has been a help for me , and maybe you too !
