“The Reluctant Visionary Chronicles: How I Went from Eye Rolls to Abundant Goals”
I'll always cherish the memory of my very first journey into crafting a vision board. Especially when I reflect on how deeply I'm immersed now in guiding vision board courses and workshops, to think nearly 20 years ago I was literally dragged by my friend and co-worker. I stored that foam board away in my closet to never think of it again.
But let's dive into the magical part: fast forward about a year later, precisely during the hustle of packing for a move. Imagine my delight when I discovered that I had gracefully achieved a remarkable 50% of the dreams and goals that I had carefully pinned to my vision board. That moment stirred something within me. I pondered, what if I could conjure such magic with more than just a cocktail in hand and laughter in the air? What if I infused intentional energy and purpose into every detail?
As time went on my approach to vision boards underwent a beautiful transformation. I gracefully transitioned from the classic cut-and-paste artistry to crafting digital vision boards. Ah, and the ease with Pinterest began. Now, every six months or so, I tenderly breathe fresh life into my board with new inspirations. And oh, the joy of following souls on social media whose Instagram feeds paint life in hues that resonate with my spirit. With each scroll, a reminder of life's possibilities.
This week, in the spirit of sharing and nurturing, I've chosen to unveil the very first steps to weave your own intricate vision board. Can you believe we're blessed with four whole months still to unfold in this year? It's a lush and fertile landscape to revisit your dreams, cradle your current aspirations, and let your abundance mindset bloom for the promising new year ahead.
Prepare for the Journey Get comfortable and create a cozy environment before starting your vision board.
Choose Your Medium Select a medium that suits your preferences: posterboard, scrapbooks, bulletin board, online websites, or apps.
Embrace Flexibility Avoid attachment to specific outcomes. Stay open to the idea of "this or better" manifesting in your life.
Follow Your Soul's Call Include pictures that deeply resonate with you. Don't hold back based on price; focus on the vibe they evoke.
Celebrate Your Journey Add pictures of yourself during the happiest times of your life, regardless of your age in those pictures.
Connect Past and Future Include recent happy pictures of yourself and your life to bridge the gap between your past and your forward-looking vision.
Write Your Life Blueprint Craft a story that portrays your life's journey from today onwards. Past references are welcome. Sprinkle Words of Inspiration Scatter favorite quotes, book passages, and unique affirmations throughout your vision board.
Express Abundance Write love letters, create agreements, or design a symbolic check payable to yourself from "others." ( This has worked powerfully in my own life! I wrote myself a check for the sale amount I desired to recieve for my former company. AND IT HAPPENED)
For added manifestation impact Digitally enhance photos, news stories, headlines, or official-looking documents for added effect.
