VISION BOARDS -
What do you really want in life? Do you want to travel the world? Have a wonderful relationship? Live in a fabulous home? Start a family? Have a healthy, fit body? Whatever you want, one of the most fun, easy, and powerful tools you can use to clarify your desires and attract what you want into your life is a vision board.
Step 1: Get a piece of paper and write down what you want. write specific goals that you envision for your career, love life, marriage, school, health and wealth – all aspects of your life. If you are not sure yet, then write down all of the things that you believe will make you happy. For example, you can write about dream vacations, meeting great people, eating delicious food, etc. The sky’s your limit, and your personal power lies in your belief and emotional connection.
Step 2: Prepare all the materials you need to make your Vision Board. Scissors, magazines, photos, glue, cork/card board or what ever you want to use as a surface. Remember, you can use the internet to find pictures to print and use.
Step 3: Paste all the pictures, sayings, quotes, or what ever you have prepared. Put them in order of importance, or any other way you want to see them on your board. At the center of your vision board place a picture of yourself with a big smile, remember that you are smiling because you are surrounded by all the things that bring you happiness.. So remember that you are not just putting up random pictures, you are finding the images that create a deep emotional reaction within you!
Step 4: Everyday when you enter my class take a glance at your board and imagine that you have already acquired everything on your board. Close your eyes for a second and visualize yourself clearly as the happy, grateful person that you want to be. The fastest way to acquire the things on your vision board is to visualize it, be grateful, for having it, be happy with it and take advantage of the opportunities you have every day. Slowly, you will begin to find the people, events, things and things that you want will move towards you as you move towards them.
Vision Boards are due by August 15th.
