Day 309 –Vision Board

Today for my intention, I completed my vision board. It has been a work in progress that I started assembling this weekend but today I completed it. I love the concept of a vision board. I first heard of what it is back in 2006 when I received my copy of The Secret. Of course, Oprah and others have spoken of them as a powerful tool for many years as well.

The concept is that when you are visualizing, you are igniting the law of attraction. Visualization is a powerful exercise. Athletes have been known to improve performance with visualization and there have been studies of those treated with placebo medications/treatment that actually improve in their condition when believing they are being treated with the proper medications/treatment (a.k.a. placebo effect).

Anyhow the key to a successful vision board is to include things that inspire or motivate you. There can be pictures of actual material things that you would like in your life, but the true key is to have pictures, words or items that inspire your dreams and goals. I personally LOVE to dream – I LOVE to be bold in my goals. I have thoughts, ideas and plans that I am constantly working towards. I allow myself to change my goals when I want and keep reminding myself of the awesome saying “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among the stars.”

Truth be told, I think dreaming/goal setting is a huge secret to youth. Daring to dream and following through to the best of your ability helps one to not get completely engulfed in just surviving life or worse yet becoming stagnant. Embracing the fact that life is as exciting as I can create it is always empowering to me. Even this blog has been an amazing endeavor that may not have happened had I not set the goal and followed through. I will keep setting my goals and dreaming always and I am sure this vision board will assist. Either way, it was fun to make and a great intention. #HGAL
