Hello,
Welcome to your 'FREE' PRES® Entrepreneurs ezine. The intention of this monthly ezine is to provide insightful information to you about the home
staging and redesign business whether you have a successful business or are planning on starting one.
In the last few years there has been a lot of talk about being able to manifest what you want by 'thinking about what you want' and creating it. Many people like to write out their thoughts (dreams with action become goals) and many like to put their vision onto a vision board, in a vision bag or even into a vision box. I use both a Vision Bag and a Vision Board which I keep in my Self-Cultivation & Knowledge feng shui bagua corner*.
REASONS FOR CREATING A VISION BOARD:
Your VISION BOARD is a visual representation of what you are focused on right now and what your dreams & goals are. It should inspire and empower you to find ways to achieve what you really want. By looking at it every day you move one step closer to creating your world the way you want it. You can recreate your Vision Board at any time that you want throughout the year and it can be about what you want for the coming year, or sometime in the future. I like to do it to kick off each new year. I take my old vision board and look at what I have accomplished and quite frankly it is AMAZING!!!
HOW TO CREATE YOUR VISION BOARD
USING A FENG SHUI BAGUA:
Here is the simplified version of a Western Feng Shui Bagua that I have used to create my vision board. This is what you need to do:
- Determine what size and what material your vision board is going to be made of
- Decide where you want to display it. You want to put it out where you can see it and not hide it away so this may help determine step 1.
- Cut out anything that you would like to feature on your vision board i.e. pictures from magazines, websites, quotes you love, pieces of jewellery, titles of books, post cards, stickers, anything you like that represents something you want to create.
- You don't have to use the Feng Shui Bagua (attached) but if you choose to, then divide your vision board into 9 equal sections and look at the headings for each one: Wealth, Fortune & Blessings; Fame & Reputation; Love, Marriage & Partnership; Family; Health; Creativity & Children; Self-Cultivation & Knowledge; Career and Helpers, Travel & Benefactors.
- Attach your cuttings and/or things onto your vision board in these 9 sections as much as is possible. Some things may overlap and may not seem to fit - just place them where they feel right to you.
- For future you might want to keep a vision bag near you. When you find something just drop it in the bag. It's fun to go through it every so often to see if that is still my focus.
- At the end of each time period that you have created your vision board for, look at it and see what dreams & goals have actualized for you. It is truly amazing!!!
Other good readings on creative visualization can be found in The Secret, The Law of Attraction, The Science of Getting Rich, etc. An internet key word search on: creative visualization, vision boards, etc. will give you many others to look at.
Happy New Year and Much Success to You,
