Creating a Vision Board – Part 3

Posted on by
I hope you have all created your vision boards and are enjoying the process of manifesting your ideal lives! 
If you are just joining us, here are my previous posts to help get you started:
Mine has been up right next to my desk for a couple of weeks now, and I absolutely love looking at it. It’s such a positive space that makes me feel more vibrant and alive each time I glance over at it. 
I mentioned in my previous posts that I put a picture of my dream home on it. It’s truly a beautiful home, and it just happens to be for sale. On my vision board, I had some fun in Photoshop and put Dan and I sitting right in front of it. I know that the absolute most important part of visualizing and creating your ideal life is getting to the feeling – really imagining that this is your life – really FEEL yourself in it. And looking at the house pictures are great fun, but I thought it would be even more fun to actually go to the house and really feel what it would be like to live there. So the other day, Dan and I drove by it and while we weren’t able to see the house (it’s on acreage and has a security gate), we were able to drive close to it and feel the energy from the area. It’s such a beautiful part of the country, and I definitely can see myself living there. It’s so exciting!
So this is what this post is all about for each of us who have created our board and are just walking by it and looking at it each day. Stop yourself from simply looking and take a moment to truly feel yourself in this life. Whatever your dreams are – put yourself in them. 
It could be your ideal relationship, job, home, etc. 
Really FEEL it. 
This is how you attract it into your life. 
Let’s all manifest our ideal lives together and then come back here and share!
And remember to have a separate board for your realized dreams – this is such a great motivator for continuing this process!

Creating a Vision Board – Part 2

I’m thrilled that yesterday’s post about creating a vision board received so many views and comments here and also on our Facebook page! It is so wonderful to know that so many of us are taking action to manifest our dreams!
 I spent hours yesterday working on my board. It is hanging right next to me here in my office, and it has such a great energy to it. I love standing in front of it and really feeling my life through these images and words.
One of our wonderful Facebook fans made a great point yesterday. 
She has been creating vision boards for years. It’s actually a continual work-in-progress that changes as her vision changes. She wrote that she wished she had taken pictures of it through the years because since it is always changing, she doesn’t have any record of what was on it previously. 
I thought this was such a great idea and something we can all do: periodically take pictures of our vision boards.
You may remember John Assaraf from The Secret. He really is a mastermind at manifesting what he puts onto his vision board. Many year ago, he put his dream home on his vision board, truly felt what it would be like to live there, and now it’s his home! He has an entire wall in his office dedicated to his many vision boards. He has them broken down into categories that work for him – such as career, family, abundance, etc. 
One thing that I especially love that he does is he has created a bulletin board for everything that he has manifested. So when something that was on one of his vision boards happens in his life, he moves it over to the manifested board. I can imagine that it would be a real boost to look over and see how much you have accomplished just by imagining it were your reality. So I’m definitely going to do this, and I can’t wait to begin to move things over from one board to the next.
 He has a Complete Vision Board Kit, which can help you get started in creating your own vision board.
I would love to hear any additional ideas you have about manifesting your ideal life. Please share them here with all of us.
Let’s all continue creating the life we know we were meant to live by visualizing it, feeling it, and taking action!

Creating a Vision Board

Do you have a vision board? 
A place where you put up pictures and words that best represent your dreams and goals that you would like to attract into your life? 
The idea behind the vision board is to get you THERE. To put yourself into your ideal life and actually FEEL what it’s like to be there. Your mind truly doesn’t know the difference between actuality and feeling. And the way the law of attraction works is to manifest everything you want in your life by feeling as though you already have it. This is where the vision board can be so helpful.
I know many stories of people putting something on their board and then making it reality soon after. By creating a vision board and then FEELING what it was like to live that life, people have attracted love, money, homes, health, and inner peace to their lives. 
If you have never created one before – give it a try! 
It’s a great way for you to go within and envision what your ideal life looks like.
There are so many categories that you could focus on – it just depends on what you would like to manifest into your life:
Love
Career
Abundance
Friendship
Spirituality
Health
Your Home Life
Relaxation/Vacations
There are so many ways you can do this, too. 
I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, but I took my vision board apart when we moved two years ago, and I am just now making a new one. It’s one of those things that has been on my to-do list ever since, and then life took over and my own self-care got pushed to the bottom of my priority list.
Because I have cleared my plate for an entire month to take care of myself, write, and take time to go within – everything that was pushed down is rising up again. And one of these things is my vision board. 
What I did is take a large bulletin board, which I then covered in beautiful paper for the background. I am a visual person, so I wanted my vision board itself to be beautiful. 
I then started thinking about my life:
What does my ideal life look like? 
How do I live? 
How do I spend my days? 
Who do I spend time with? 
Where do I live?
Once I knew what I wanted to focus on, I went to the computer and started having some fun. I found a picture of my dream home that I know I will live in someday. And with the help of Photoshop, I superimposed our faces into the photos, so it looks like we’re actually there. I designed the cover of the new book I’m writing and printed it out – along with endorsements from my favorite authors. I printed out a check from the publishing company that I want to work with. I had even more fun in Photoshop and put myself with my mentors – as though we were hanging out together.
There are so many things you can do with your own vision board – let your creativity flow! 
If you would like to lose weight, you could put up a photo of yourself where you were your ideal weight. If you would like to manifest a loving relationship, you could list all of the qualities your mate would have. You could even cut out a photo of how you imagine they would look.
Go through magazines and cut out pictures and words that best describe your ideal life.
You can also make a vision board on your computer and then turn it into your screensaver. I think what I will do is take pictures of mine and turn those into my screensaver. 
Our As If journal was created to go with your vision board:
It has 50 prompts to help you manifest your ideal life. 
You can download the ebook here for just $3.75.
So take some time today and get started on your own vision board. 
Have fun with it!
P.S. – My friend and kindred spirit, Alia, created a beautiful video today about saying yes to life. I am so happy to pass along her wisdom and warmth to you.
