Tools to Jump Start Your Dreams in 2021
Start with purchasing a large piece of cardboard that you can buy from Staples or Office Depot . Next , gather magazines , books and brochures . Clip out pictures , symbols , and words that symbolize what you desire to do , be , or have in your life . Organize your desires and place like clippings together . For instance , place clippings for Family together , Career together , Well-Being together , you get the point . Glue or tape your clippings to the cardboard . Get as creative as you ’ d like . Remember , this is your vision board . Be careful not to place words on the vision board that create what you don ’ t want . For instance , instead of placing ‘ debt free ’ on your board , place ‘ financial freedom ’. If you place debt free , you ’ ll always have debt that you desire to be free from . Once you ’ ve completed your board , place it in a conspicuous space that allows you to look at and feel what ’ s on your vision board daily . Trust and have faith in your desires and watch God do the rest . The results are incredible !
Tool # 3 – The Circle of Inspiration
I refer to this last tool as the Circle of Inspiration . It differs from the creation box and the vision board in that it provides the catalyst for designing these creations . This is a great tool to use if you ’ re unsure of what you want to achieve . The Circle of Inspiration originates from indigenous traditions . The premise is to surround yourself with a circle of friends that will help you resolve internal struggles and open the space for you to answer your own questions . Start with gathering together four to six friends . Be selective to only choose those persons that are supportive and encouraging to your aspirations . Next , speak your desire to the group . For instance , “ I desire a career change and need help with discovering my next steps .” Each person in the group will take turns asking questions that will assist you with your desire . By the end of the exercise , you should be clear on your next steps and have actions assigned that move you forward with your desire . One of those actions should be creating a creation box or vision board !
All of the tools listed above have one thing in common – intention . It ’ s been said before that , wherever we place intent , will have our attention . In 2010 , place your attention on your intentions , and watch your dreams become reality . Happy Creating !
