One powerful way to keep the beautiful flowers of what you DO want alive is by creating a vision board. A vision board can help you focus on what you do want and give it daily attention rather than focus once on what you do want one time and stuff that list into your sock drawer. Because if we look at what we do want once and then we throw it away, we're not really giving it any attention. And when we don't give what we want our energy and the focus of our attention, we aren't going to bring that into our life. And a vision board is great for people who may have a more difficult time visualizing things in their mind without something to look at.
A vision board can be really fun. You get a board of some kind, like a corkboard and put pictures of things you Do want, like a picture of the perfect kind of partner, and under that picture, put a list of what kind of characteristics you'd like that person to have. Then you can put something that symbolizes material abundance, like a bank statement with a new balance on it, or a check made out to you made for a large amount of money. There can be photos of places you want to travel to. Whatever YOU want should be there. Only you can create your vision of what you want your life to be.
Use your "What I Do Want" list that we created to help you make your vision board.
When you make you vision board, be sure to answer these three questions:
-What do I want to be?
-What do I want to do?
-What do I want to have?
And there are a few guidelines to creating your vision board:
1. Make your vision as real, concrete and comprehensive as possible. Create a vision that takes into account your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Be sure you balance your personal and professional life and only you can decide what balance is for you.
2. Allow yourself to think in an unlimited way. Let go of your limited thinking while you are creating your vision. Allow yourself to dream big. Approach this exercise with the knowledge and belief that anything is possible.
3. Make your vision emotional. Your unconscious mind cannot distinguish between something that actually happen and something that is vividly imagined, so use vivid, emotional words, pictures and images to give this vision board power.
4. Be sure to only place things on the board that state what you DO want and not what you Don't want. For example, don't stick a bill up there with a message on it that says, "I want to pay off all my bills" You're giving your focus of attention to what you Don't want and bringing that to you.
5. When you do this daily, keep your awareness open to the inspired thoughts that will come to you and when they do, take the Inspired Action to make the things on your vision board a reality.
When you're finished, put the vision boards somewhere where you'll see it every day and really look at it! I look at mine right after meditating each morning for a few minutes and I feel the feelings of having the things on my board. That's really important! It's great to look at it right before you go to sleep because then you have that in your unconscious mind all night long.
Something that is very important as you do this exercise is to have an unbending belief and unshakable faith. If other people can have these things in their lives, why not you? As we've talked about before, belief, faith and trust in the science of the LOA is important. It's like the beautiful seed that you've planted and it's coming up through the ground and you're faithfully watering it with that belief and trust and it's slowly coming, it's growing.
And it's your dream.
