𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶 - 𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩*𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥!⁣

We can all agree this year took quite an unexpected turn for all of us and as hard and terrifying and lonely as it has been for most, this is our reality now.⁣

⁣

⁣

I, for one, put my life on hold and was struggling to focus on my business (felt super weird trying to sell my products and services during this time) and on my personal development (no good excuse here). I just tried to "be" for a while. ⁣

⁣

⁣

With the pandemic lasting as long as it has, and the understanding that this would be our new normal for a while, I decided to use the gorgeous energy of the new moon last month to create a vision board. A visualization of everything I want to achieve over the next 12 months. It was an uplifting, inspiring, and quite enjoyable experience. ⁣

⁣

⁣

I 100% suggest you take advantage of the new moon that starts tomorrow and design yours!⁣

⁣

⁣

I have to admit I've gone to Vision Board making workshops in the past, and they didn't quite resonate with me. Something about picking random images from provided magazines fell short for me.⁣

⁣

⁣

I decided to watch a few YouTube videos and, taking bits and pieces from each of them, and I came up with a process that totally worked for me because I am IN LOVE with my vision board!⁣

⁣

⁣

Below you will find a set of summarized steps of how I went about creating the board in the hopes my post inspires you to go through this exercise and create your very own board:⁣

⁣

⁣

1. Find a cozy place you can spend some quiet time in and write down goals/dreams/aspirations you would like to have accomplished in 12 months. You can divide them into different categories to make it a bit easier. Ex. Health, Relationships, Career, & Personal Development.⁣

⁣

⁣

2. Once you have your goals narrowed down, begin to write down words of affirmation, quotes, images, experiences that relate to each goal, things that at a glance, both remind and inspire you to take the steps necessary to achieve them in a 12 month time.⁣

⁣

⁣

3. Find every magazine, newspaper, book, lying around (that you are comfortable cutting pages out of), and start to look for some of the words, quotes, images in your list. Another great source are platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram, etc.! Look through your saved posts and see if there's anything there that fits your goals - go ahead and print those.⁣

⁣

⁣

4. If you still have images or quotes you are missing - head on over to Google! I found some great ones and proceeded to print them as well. You can use Canva, Adobe, or PowerPoint to create specific quotes or words of affirmation in your favorite font as a last resort.⁣

⁣

⁣

𝐓𝐢𝐩 - try to make the images as specific as you can. ⁣

Examples - if there's a particular place you want to travel, pick pictures from that place, not just a random beach or scenery. A picture of the restaurants you want to have dinner in, the waterfall you want to go check out, etc. If there's a certain amount of money you want to make over the next year, print that amount out. You want to nail crow pose? Look for a picture of someone who resembles you doing crow! I think you get my point. If you have extra time on your hands, you can also photoshop or paste your face over the pictures. Make it as realistic as you can! ⁣

Visualization is so powerful! It's quite easy to trick our brains into believing something that hasn't happened is "reality", is "truth" rather than a dream or aspiration. ⁣

⁣

⁣

5. Gather your supplies! I bought an Elmer's foam board at Michaels (20 x 30), glitter gel pens, found my box of scrapbook-ish supplies, and got to work!⁣

⁣

⁣

6. I highly recommend you arrange the pieces first and glue/tape them down after you are 100% satisfied with how everything looks.⁣

⁣

⁣

The whole process took me about four days: ⁣

⁣

⁣

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Write down my goals⁣

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Look through magazines ⁣

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: Google/Print the rest of the images⁣

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒: 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳d!!!!! ⁣

⁣

⁣

If you decide to make your board, PLEASE share it with me if you feel comfortable. ⁣

⁣

⁣

I would love to see it!⁣

⁣

⁣

Namaste,⁣
