create a vision board

So I made a start and did a mini-vision board about diet.
One thing I learnt was that it takes FOREVER to find and cut out all the words and pictures; I made a start on the fitness sqaure (I think I’ll put it together patchwork style) but didn’t have any fitness specific pictures of words and couldn’t find anything good on the internet.

But I’m not entirely sure. I used to do collages on card and put them in glass frames. I think I’ll dig them out and replace the collage with a vision board _ time to start hoarding the magazines.

I bought a big display board like those for science fairs at Staples and started sorting magazines, newspapers, and stuff for it.

I found a good piece of corrugated cardboard I’d like to use for this. And I’ve started thinking about the types of things I’d like to include.

Happy Healthy family, control of finances, and on and on…

I also have more than one glue stick thanks to my sissy who gave me some for Christmas. :)

Seriously, just do it…

And now it’s officially a goal on my list! Time to start visioning…

I don’t just want to make the vision board and then never get to using it, but I want to prove to myself that I can obtain everything I put on it, too.

i finished one vision board aimed at a particular aspect of my life. it feels good to look at it – the energy around this area of my life feels less frenetic and more focused.

i’m going to make another one for another part of my life. i’d like to break ground with this one sometime this week.

i also put up another affirmation on my belief board. it’s been really effective so far.

well, i am almost done with the vision board that i started. i’m going to keep staring, thinking, feeling about it for a few days before i get it printed.

in the meantime, i set up a belief board to remind myself of important behaviors i need to reinforce. i got the idea from that super-wiz steve pavlina: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2009/05/creating-a-belief-board/

the belief board has been pretty effective. the font i used is huge and it’s prominently displayed in my room. i could see the words in my mind’s eye throughout the day. gentle reminders.

Now that I’ve set a challenge for myself and consequences for not meeting the deadline, I am making good progress on this. I really don’t want to have to eat the photos that I cut out for my vision board so I intend to complete it by the deadline.

I printed out some more, and larger, photos related to my goals. The project board that I purchased for this goal made the photos I had already cut out look small and sort of lost on the board. The photos I found online are better proportioned in relation to the project board. Should be able to finish this either tonight or tomorrow. Then I will be able to start using it.
