Dear Friends, Most of you know I am into my affirmation, gratitudes, Meditation, and Journaling. I know all these techniques work for me. However, I have never tried a vision board and it was recommended to me initially by Brigid at Watching The Daisies blog, and Wendy at Brilliance Within blog. So here goes my vision board for 2017!
I have been out and brought magazines and tried to the vision board. But just could not find the right clippings and at the back of my mind is: 1) will I look at this 2) it is clutter creating and I am trying to declutter 3) I know affirmation work – how do I do this to meet one and two.
So I reread and re-inspired myself with these four posts below. Two from Brigid and two from Wendy and finished off what I started this Monday 11th Jan 2017. Wendy, also included a video by Jack Cranfield – which I also include here (Wendy, I hope you don’t mind). This video really say’s it all. Both Brigid and Wendy’s post have really inspired me and I hope they inspire you.

Does the Law of Attraction Work
Well, my vision board is a powerpoint with Pinterest images right now. I plan to print it off and put it somewhere. I may cut some magazines up and stick a few images too. It is work in progress -but I am glad to have just done it for now – see below.
I believe a vision board is a tool to motivate us to get goals done. I believe in the law of attraction and I believe the vision board is out there. The vision board forces you to dream, plan, brainstorm and think about life. But, it doesn’t work by magic, you have TO DO THE WORK, you can’t sit there and wait for stuff to fall into place – you have to make it happen. But, a vision board gives you a bit of a direction and a whole heap of motivation.
It is a bit small, deliberately because it is a bit private. Please do not copy paste or share.
Have you tried a vision board before? Please comments below.

I fervently believe in the power of visualization and have used my own version of a Vision Board: I made a scrapbook of all my goals and used captions with appropriate photos, and decorated the pages with stickers, etc. I like a scrapbook b/c I like to hold something physical in my hands, but I also made a screensaver for my laptop with photos that represented my goals. Another method is a Treasure Box in which you place pictures and objects that represent your aspirations. I like your Power Point idea — it looks great! There are many ways to do it, and I believe it really works.
Having said all that, I think it’s very important to hold LOOSELY to our goals and not limit them necessarily to our literal visualizations, b/c Divine Power might have something better in mind, which we could block by being too narrow-minded in our focus.

Dear Gloria, I can’t express how much I love this comment of yours. You are sooo wise, and full of ideas. I love the scrapbook idea, treasure box idea. I like the idea of holding it as well. The whole idea of having a big board was not appealing as it would mess up the house – that I am trying to declutter and it’s private. I totally agree that goals should be loosely held and not limited to. And I agree with visualizations and repetition. I have had things some true in my life with a vision , affirmation and plan old hand writing repetitions. I just love your comment Gloria. Big hug to you . you made my day with is.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend.

Well done Bella. I watched the Jack Canfield video too and it confirmed what I already felt, that creating a vision board was absolutely worthwhile. Mine’s just on finished but like yours is a work in progress as ideas, thoughts and inspirations change. Warmest wishes to you. Here’s to dreams and visions becoming a reality. xo

Hi Miriam, Thank you, Since I posted this post, I have updated the power point at least 6 times – including an update just now. I am going to print it now today at 20.49. Well done on finishing your vision board, and wish you ever success and happiness with it. Will be lovely to see how we progress as the year unfolds. lots of love bella. ps, sorry for late response I had to take off the WP app of my phone I just dont have space for all the stuff I need for work on there. I had to delete so many apps off my phone. So now I have to make a point of logging on to the computer. Good night/good morning – tc bella

Well done to you too my lovely friend. Our boards are a constant work in progress. I’m not surprised you’ve changed yours so many times. So have I! Here’s to both of us working towards realising our dreams this year. I feel as though it’s going to be an interesting one. Just feel it in my bones. Warm hugs and lots of love from me to you.

Oh that’s so lovely Bella and I’m delighted you’ve created your vision board – I think they always remain ‘work in progress’ because as we develop, grow and change, we see more things that were in our ‘blind spot’ previously…. I’m thrilled that you found some inspiration in my posts and in those of Brigid at Watching The Daisies – she is amazing isn’t she!!
I’m really glad that you’ve linked to the Jack Canfield video as I’m passionate that the word needs to be out there about the positive benefits creating a vision board can bring… it brings clarity and shines light on the corners of our minds… Thankyou for sharing xx
