I had an interesting idea given to me about a new type of vision board. With this new idea, you place pictures, words and symbols of what you are grateful for in your life today on the left side of the board, and pictures, words and symbols of what you want more of on the right side of the board. This is a new twist to vision boards, but even though I've made a number of vision boards in my day, I thought I'd give it a shot.
I discovered a funny thing doing this new style of vision board. I found myself putting very similar stuff on both sides of my board!
This was an amazing little aha to have! I realized that I already have a lot of what I am wanting in my life ... I just want more of it ... and a few little extras. Looking at my completed vision board I realized that the pictures on the right were also a little more specific than those on the left. I take this as a sign that I am getting clearer on what I want (in other words, not just close friendships, but things I'd like to do with my close friends, like cross-country skiing, taking trips together and such). Well, I knew that already, but this awareness soaked into my pores in a different way this time. It was right there in front of my eyes, as plain as day. Awesome!
So, after letting this realization sink into my being a bit more deeply, I now realize even more how wonderful my life already IS!
I have love!
I have laughter!
I have deep friendships!
I have money!
I do work I love!
I am having fun with the hobbies I love already!
I travel regularly!
I have exposure to adorable pets through several friends and my sons (and no responsibility)!
I get to spend time with horses whenever I want!
I create art and have art around me all the time!
I have a beautiful home!
I have an awesome vehicle that is fun to drive!
I have 3 healthy, happy grown sons!
I have good health!
I live in a beautiful place!
Life is good!
The second tool that I found myself using recently was scripting. Now, I love scripting. I know it is not for everyone, but hey, I'm a writer. I love expressing my thoughts and feelings through words and story. So, one night I decided to curl up in bed to write a script before drifting off to dream land. I figured filling my head with the script I might also encourage my brain to draw the story of my desires into my dream time, further amplifying the impact of this tool.
So, I got into my pj's and propped myself up on a pillow and let my mind drift to what I want more of in my life. The pen kept moving, so I stuck with it. It was a delightful story about a trip to Italy and meeting my mate. There was plenty of abundance in it, and friendship, and art and travel, and synchronicity and joy, of course! When the story came to a natural conclusion, I had written 16 pages! I felt absolutely euphoric as I turned out the light and I did indeed dream about this luscious adventure.
Anyway, I thought I'd share a bit of what I've been experiencing lately. I hope that you will be inspired to create your own awesome stories, whether in writing, or in pictures! I hope you'll also consider taking some time every day to nurture your dreams and intentions. There is nothing like this kind of food for your spirit. So, what are you waiting for?!
Enjoy!
