Creating the Life of your Dreams,
Creating the Year of your Dreams
By Melonie DePalma, Holistic Health Coach
Coming out of January we had a lot of motivation to eat healthy, to be positive… so let’s roll that motivation into February!
Resolutions are made with the best intentions, and although we usually start off strong with the motivation, make some major changes to our health
and lifestyle choices, we tend to divert back to our old ways over time.
Last month I touched on journaling. Today let’s go BIGGER! Creating a vision board!
Entrepreneurs, athletes and anyone ready to invest time in themselves use visuals to train their focus and stay on target, and this is a great way that you
too can visualize what you want 2020 to bring you. This exercise is one of the most powerful mind capabilities, which is visualization.
Compelling images in the form of a vision board is extremely effective at influencing your mind and harnessing your intention to bring about positive
change in your life. A vision board can be pictures, it can be actions, words, products, or places representing what you want in your life. I have found with
people that are either spoiled, or as we say “born with a silver spoon in their mouth”… or well-born types, these people get most things they desire, they
don’t have second thoughts about living debt free, or second thoughts about having that new car they dream of, they visualize it and believe. It’s really
that simple.
A vision board will help keep motivation driving directly towards your well-thought-out desires and they strengthen your decision making process. Think
of them as a road map and a very present reminder of what your actions should work towards. Visualizing helps your mind believe that these things that
you desire have already came true.
To make your vision board, invest some time clarifying what your goals are and decide what part of your life this will represent and for what. IS it shortterm
or long-term goals? You can make several mini boards for each area with a goal, or a large board, or a magical manifesting mobile. A dear friend
of mine, Joanne, creates beautiful manifesting mobiles. As they hang in the air you can focus your intentions to make your dreams come true. Get a few
magazines or print some pictures from the web and cut out words, use your own sketches, pictures of your dreams and plans, glue or pin them to a board
that you can display in an area you will look at EVERYDAY. Then meditate on these images for a few minutes each day. As these visions become reality,
acknowledge the success with check marks or stamps recognizing the achievement. Just truly BELIEVE.
The secret to having it all IS believing you already do.
What you think about, you bring about. Sending love and light. I hope all of your dreams come to fruition.
