I have always wanted to create a vision board since I first heard of the idea. I have always written out my goals because I believe that seeing it in writing helps me to commit to it. It also serves as a reminder to what I should be focusing my energy on. A vision board is a more creative way of doing this. Making a vision board could come in a variety of ways, but mine is simple. I bought a foam board from WalMart and printed out pictures that coincided with goals I set for this year. I taped the pictures onto the board and put it on my kitchen desk so that I see it every day. Right now there is a picture of the blogging logo, YouTube logo, "13.1" for the 1/2 marathon, dollar signs for financial freedom, a picture of a road trip, Pay It Forward sign, a picture of my book, and a picture of Oprah (no comments needed friends). I plan on adding more to it as time goes on. I love having it and seeing it everyday! It is such a visual reminder to me of what I want to accomplish. It keeps those thoughts in the forefront of my mind and I also believe that it helps to attract the end result into my life. (The laws of attraction are something I will talk about later - but definitely believe in). I encourage everyone to at least write out their goals in life but you might think about creating a vision board. You can do it for just a few dollars and I would be willing to bet that it will help your goals become a reality! I will try to post a pic of mine in the next few days....
So I have a few days off next week from work and I have decided that it is the perfect time for me to do my EXTREME week! I am getting very excited about it and my hope is that it will be the most productive, disciplined, and focused week I have had in a long time. I am making out my list of things I want to get done and I will be sharing those soon. I know I have some crazy ideas at times - one of my friends already told me how I am always coming up with something crazy and weird to do - but I love this kind of stuff and I am very curious to see how the week turns out.
Oh, one other thing. My week off from sweets ended yesterday and last night I decided to reward myself. There is a great cupcake place in my neighborhood so I went and got two chocolate cupcakes for myself. I went home, got a glass of milk, and when I bit into the cupcake.... oh my goodness, it was like I was tasting chocolate for the first time! I know it had only been a week, but let's just say I was one happy guy with my cupcake (I only ate one last night) and milk! Absence really does make the heart grow fonder :)
Today I am grateful for: 1. My focus time this morning about living out our life's mission 2. Talking to a friend I haven't heard from in awhile 3. A good work day 4. Finding a great new blog to read 5. Enjoying that 2nd cupcake!
