Create a new vision board to be revealed on Thanksgiving Eve

I still want to create a vision board, but have obviously missed the deadline… ugh. My new goal will be to create it by New Years. Hopefully sooner, but with final projects taking up all my time, I have to focus until December 19th!

This is my vision board!
I love it~
A combination of actual and symbolic material items and personal attributes I desire to have in my life~

Although I wish I had taken a better picture of it…I do love it!
I have this vision board displayed in my bedroom, on my screensaver (makes it terribly hard to find things on the screen), and on my phone background as well.

I am ready, willing, and able for my RAS to kick in and “rock-n-roll”...I think it has been working already!!!!

:D

ISTHANKSGIVING EVE….

right????

How’s everyone doing on this goal…

Exciting!

I have hit a brick wall and this just might be the thing to help me get over it. Thanks.

And I love it...
Can’t wait to share it!

It’s eclectic, and evokes an emotional response when I look at it!!!
I have it in my room where I can see it often. Also, my friend mentioned possibly taking a picture of it and using it as a screensaver on my phone and/or computer…because I look at both of those so often throughout the day!
wonderful thinking!

:)

I have bought my tag board. I am doing a smaller board this year. I plan on putting it on the computer desk I sit at daily at my Mom’s house. It is located in my childhood bedroom, so I always feel comfortable sitting there & meditating, something I do with my vision board.

I am still struggling with what I am putting on it. I was thinking yesterday, if I put “Excel at Procrastination,” I could count on it being a success. I am really trying hard to find focus…but it keeps escaping me.

I am really glad that I have this goal & others counting on me to produce. I need the anchor!

I worked with a group of individuals who are creating vision boards. One kind person brought a stack of magazines so everyone could look through and find pictures.

It was interesting to see the different “dreams” in the room, some big, some small…but all dreams…

I realized as I browsed through the pictures just what caught my eye or gave me a positive emotional charge !!!!

Seems I am drawn to a beautiful beach house where the living room opens directly onto the beach~oh and don’t forget the infinity pool!!!

VERY FUN!!!!

Has to create a “vision board” in his health class! I think that is VERY wonderful…he is a bit less enthusiastic about it! LOL ~

“OH Mom….”

This is the car he found to already place on his board….We will work on it over the next few days! I’m sure it will be like pulling teeth…but overall I am expecting success!!!! :)

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

What exactly is the law of attraction? The law of attraction states that we attract into our lives anything that we give attention to, regardless whether it be positive or negative.

From a psychological view, the law of attraction can be best explained by the information filtering system of the brain known as the reticular activating system (RAS). Vision boards serve the role of programming the RAS to tune into external stimuli that can help us move closer towards our intentions.

At the base of the human brain stem, in between the medulla oblongata and the mesencephalon, there is a small finger-sized control center called the reticular activating system (RAS) that sorts and evaluates incoming data.

Your RAS is responsible for filtering all the incoming information that your brain receives and it also acts as receiver for information that is tagged as important.

A simple way to conceptualize the RAS is to think of it like a radio. You are surrounded by radio waves from various stations and your portable radio can pick up those channels, but only one at a time. You have to tune your radio to a specific frequency of your favorite radio station in order to receive it properly. Your RAS is not much different in this regard. Imagine you are in a meeting room talking to several people and out in the distant corner of the room you hear your name. All your focus gets diverted in the direction that you heard your name because that bit of information is tagged by the RAS as important to you. Your RAS is responsible for having the ability to sleep through the noise of traffic outside your room, but waking up suddenly at the smallest cry from your infant child. Another example of the RAS at work is when you go and buy a brand new car and then suddenly you notice many more people around your city have that exact same car.

According to Hans Morvec, the principal research scientist at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, the human brain can handle up to 100 trillion bits of information at any given time.

With all that information coming in, how does your RAS know what to filter? Your RAS is naturally programmed to prioritize information that is necessary for survival, like listening for a the particular sound of an oncoming vehicle when walking close to a street. The RAS can’t distinguish between a real event and a contrived reality, however, and we can exploit this weakness to program it to seek out stimuli in our environment that resonate with our goals.

The process of creating a vision board is one of the best ways to program the RAS. It programs the RAS to pay attention to certain things in your environment that are in frequency with your goal or vision, in much the same way as you are able to pick up your name being mentioned in a conversation on the other side of a room while talking to others.

This selective attention filter makes you aware of daily things that can help you achieve your goal and it’s your job to take action on those opportunities when they present themselves.

Interesting Information from this Webpage

The general elements that a well-designed vision board should include are:

Visual~ Your subconscious mind works in pictures and images, so make your vision board as visual as possible with as many pictures as you can. You can supplement your pictures with words and phrases to increase the emotional response you get from it.

Emotional~ Each picture on your vision board should evoke a positive emotional response from you. The mere sight of your vision board should make you happy and fuel your passion to achieve it every time you look at it.

Strategically ~placed. Your vision board should be strategically placed in a location that gives you maximum exposure to it. You need to constantly bath your subconscious mind with it’s energy in order to manifest your desires quicker than you hope.

Personal ~Negative feelings, self-doubt, and criticism can damage the delicate energy that your vision board emits. If you fear criticism or justification of your vision board from others, then place it in a private location so it can only be seen by yourself.

Tips of Pictures

Step 1—Compile your pictures. Start by going through your magazines and compiling all the pictures that you can find that are relevant to your goal. Don’t evaluate the pictures or start pasting them onto your board. Just stack them into a pile. If you are internet saavy, then a much quicker method that I do myself is to use an internet search engine to find good pictures that I can use for my board. You can either print the pictures out on paper and then glue it to the board, or print the pictures out onto a self-adhesive label so that it becomes a sticker. This is the preferred method because it is takes much less time to do and you can pinpoint your pictures using very good technology at your hands. Make sure that each image that you put on your board resonates with your heart and makes you excited at the mere look of it. It’s also important when selecting pictures to include anything that is congruent with your goal, such as any changes in your life that might result from obtaining your goal. So if your goal is to have a six figure income, then select pictures of a lifestyle that is congruent with your six figure income. Asking yourself the following questions might help you design a congruent vision board:

What would you do differently when you realize your goal?
Where would you travel?
Where would you live?
What would you wear?
What things would you own?
What kind of vehicle would you drive?
What would you do for work?...Or would you work?
Who would you help?
