Task #14 Create a Vision Board
It couldn't have been anything short of fate that in one of the magazines we were cutting up was an article about the Law of Attraction. The article quoted " The purpose of a vision board is to focus your attention-briefly. After that, the less mental strain you feel, the sooner good things will happen."
I pasted this quote front and center (well slightly to the left) on my board as a reminder.
For those of you who don't know what the law of attraction is, it's basically just the idea that you can attract the things you want to you. If you want to learn more about it check out The Secret.
For this task I decided it would be fun to have the girls help me. I figured they know me pretty well and would have fun looking in magaizines for silly things to cut out. So we all gathered around Stacy's table ate some yummy Lou Malnatti's( even though they forgot the jalepenos we paid extra for), drank some wine and had some filthy conversation (which I refuse to repeat). It sure was a good thing Nephew and Lukie weren't around.
Everyone helped me find some good images and even found some things to use on their own vision boards to be put together at a future date. Its funny to hear what everyone recommends for eachothers boards, you catch a glimpse of what people think of you, that they may not say directly. And it was hilrious when Nelly asked me, "Why the hell did you cut out a picture of a pregant woman?!" "Um.... She wants to have a baby some day..." Stacy answered. "But this board is for this year's goals!" Nelly said. "No, relax, I was thinking it was more of a lifetime board," I told her. "Oh. Ok then" And we all had a good laugh.
I went home missing just a few things I knew I wanted to add and made a project of modge-podging. My clippings onto my canvas as I started my "Friends" marathon.
Over the next few days I was able to track down the remainder of the future I envisioned for myself - a gorgeous wedding dress, the words "Quit Smoking", a theater room, a glass walled modern house, graduates, and David Borenaz (it's symbolic people, I know I wont get him ).
In the end I filled most of the canvas. I had added everything I thought I wanted. At first it irked me a little to leave space blank- worrying that meant my task was incomplete, but then I thought it actually makes sense. Wants may change, I may want something next month that I never wanted before. The future is open to change, so made room for it! And all that's left to do is believe I can get it.
