Creating a vision board can feel awkward or woo-woo for some people which is completely understandable. The thought of doing an arts and crafts project of cutting out pictures of materialistic items and hoping the universe magically provides them sans any effort is absurd. Not gonna work. However, it’s great to know what you want in your life and the first stop in creating that life is by being grateful for everything in your life. Yep, this means the yucky parts too. Creating a reflective vision board of your achievements and experiences will be an effective gateway to creating one for future goals.

One shift opens the universal door for the next thing to naturally fall into place. You may have heard the phrase “act as if” in order to manifest what you desire. This is that! The next step is creating a plan starting from right where you are and commit to one action that you can do now that will lead to the ultimate goal. For example, if you want a particular car that is not in your current budget, go test drive that car. (Nothing too exotic since you’d need to put up cash as collateral for a test drive.) Then, when it comes to purchasing your next car, choose something in your budget that has a similar body style in the color of your dream car. This simple mini act will put you in alignment with your big picture. Focus on one goal at a time and watch how the others naturally follow. Be open and practice patience each day and you’ll be amazed by this time next year when you’re reflecting upon this very moment. Who knows, you may become a manifesting pro and find yourself cutting, pasting or Pinterest-ing all your desires. Haaa
