I’m starting to gather the images, quotes, words, etc. that are going on my dream board. The part that makes this super easy is that I already have a clear idea of my desires because I created a list when I completed my Soul-Luxe Living Assessment.

This makes the process of creating my vision board and my dream life so much easier. I know what I’m moving toward. I know what my dreams and desires look and feel like. I know what I need to prepare myself to receive.

I used to avoid getting really specific in the past. I created vision boards, but they were really more like “mood boards” than anything. They weren’t specific enough, which resulted in me still not being super clear on what it was that I wanted in my life. In the end, my vision boards were pretty to look at – works of art even – but they didn’t call me forward. They didn’t compel me to create and receive exactly what I wanted.

The result? My life felt the same way – not really what I wanted. Good, but not great.

I’m clear that I am no longer settling for good. I am choosing GREAT for myself!

Getting super clear about my desires – even the ones that I don’t ever let see the light of day – is the key to making my vision board something powerful, inspiring and motivating.

Based on my desire list, I know the kinds of magazines I’m going to need to capture the words and images that I will go on my board. This part, the gathering part, is actually really exciting to me because I often find things that are beyond perfect for what I know I want to create. The gathering part often stimulates even more desires – ones that are frequently even bigger than where I started.

Now it’s time to start tearing and cutting things that might be a good fit for my board. I like to create a pile of images, words, and quotes. Then, when it’s time for me to put the vision board together, I lay things out, sort of like “trying on” a vision board. Only the things that look and feel “right” go onto it. The rest get placed into a shoe box that I keep specifically for creating vision boards.

But before I do anything, I’m going to make myself something yummy to drink! I have some fresh juice and a little sparkling water… I think I’ll make myself a nice little sparkling juice mocktail and drink it out of a pretty glass. I also have a big bowl of cherries that I’m going to nibble on while I play.

Fun!
