A new year is always a new beginning. We look back at the past year—maybe even our lives—and decide what we want to keep and what we want to give up. Letting go makes room for growth, for something new.
When you look back and look forward, start with a GRATITUDE for all of it…who you were, who you are, and all the experiences and people that were a part of your growth and learning.
Next, take some time to create a vision board. A vision board is a creative, visual and experimental art project. When you’re done, you’ll hang it where you can see it daily to remind you of your wishes and intentions for the new year.
The science behind these paintings is that our thoughts and emotions are made of energy that attracts, like a magnet. All inventions and creations start with an idea, an idea. When we put our thoughts and emotions in the direction of what we desire, in positive and consistent ways, we open ourselves up to receiving what we desire, and draw to us the essence of those experiences.
Vision boards can focus on one area of your life, or more. You can use pictures – cut from magazines, drawn by hand or printed from a computer. You can write or cut the words. Make a wish list. Include it on your vision board. Follow what you are attracted to too. Play with it. And we put them together on a poster board.
Finally, be sure to share your vision board with someone. Tell them what you’re wearing and why. Telling our story allows us to hear our vision, helps us speak to what we want, and what comes from our hearts; It allows others to hear what we want… and offer their support and affirmation. Who you are today and tomorrow starts now.
Materials needed: poster board, scissors, old magazines, markers, glue stick, and mood music… maybe friends too,
Every new year is a new beginning. There is good and positive energy flowing. Get flow with it. Write your wish list. Create a vision board. Tell your story about it — to someone who will be non-judgmental, excited about you, open-minded, and affirming your growth and your dreams. Post it where you see it daily. Follow the muse. Be open to the possibilities.
We wish you joy in creating and sharing a vision…and a Happy New Year.
