Seeing Red Cars: I painted my door red (really) – see the picture here

Red items at home and at work help trigger your memory to focus on what you want

In Seeing Red Cars the book I advise people to place red items in visible places at home and at work. These “triggers” serve to jog your memory of your “I wants” – the goals you are working toward in your personal and professional life.

It’s important to practice what you preach, and at my house we painted the door from our garage to our house RED. See the picture below. (Now, if anyone has ideas of how we can break our dog’s habit of scratching the door when he wants to go out, let me know ;).

We also hung this vibrant artwork (painted by my daughter, so it’s extra special) inside the house, directly in front of the door. Each time I enter the house, the brilliant red takes my breath away and causes me to slow down and  focus on what I want with my family relationships and our time together.

The red door and red painting are not there by chance, they are there by choice. I move fast and I bet you do, too.  It’s easy for one area in life to drift into another and get in the way of what we really want in the moment.  Create visual reminders.  Put them in places that will bring  you back to what you really want!  

In your work environment you can use a red coffee mug or desk accessory. At home you could put red items on a dresser or table. How about wearing red clothing or driving a red car?

For more ideas, see the list of visual, auditory and tactile triggers in the book Seeing Red Cars: Driving Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization to a Positive Future (www.seeingredcarsbook.com).

====================

What  red items would catch your attention at home or at work?

How can you “program your brain” to think about your “I wants” whenever you see something red?
