Start Your New Year Off Right With A Vision Board
Visualization is one of the most powerful mind exercises you can do! “The law of attraction is forming your entire life experience and it is doing that through your thoughts. When you are visualizing, you are emitting a powerful frequency out into the Universe.”
So, what’s the big secret to creating a vision board that works?
It’s simple: Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want. While it’s great to include some material tings, the more your board focuses on how you want to feel, the more it will come to life!
TIPS ON CREATING YOUR OWN VISION BOARD!!!
Designing your board:
- Fill it with anything that inspires and motivates you!
The purpose of your vision board is to bring everything on it to life. Start by thinking about what your goals are in the following areas: relationships, career and finances, home, travel, personal growth (including spirituality, social life, education) and health.
You don’t have to cover each area the same way, just take a mental inventory of what you want each of them to look like and write them down.
- Always handwrite your goals instead of typing them, there’s something energetic about actually handwriting your goals. From your goals and aspirations, think about what you want on your vision board. You’ll be amazed at how things just start popping up all over the place once you set the intention for what you want and how you want to feel.
You can add to or re-do your vision board, whenever it feels right. You can always leave blank space on your vision board so you can accept new things as they appear in your life, and add and rearrange during the year when you feel it.
Then, at the start or each new year, you can give the board a total refresh to get clear about what you want in the new year, ahead. Some things can stay and some have served their purpose, so they don’t make the cut.
Here’s what you’ll need:
* Any kind of board, if you’re new maybe start with a cork board or poster board from the hardware store, they run about a dollar. Try to find a bulletin board or something pretty you like to look at! Remember to have fun with your design!
* Scissors, tape, pins, and/or a glue-stick to put your board together.
* Magazines that you can cut images and quotes from or sites like ‘Pinterest’ to gather images or quotes from and handwrite them on your own or print them out
* (Optional): fun markers, stickers, or anything else you can think of to deck out your board.
**Most importantly, the stuff you want to look at every day. Photos, quotes, sayings, images of places you want to go, reminders of events, places, or people, postcards from friends and just about anything that will inspire you.
* Be sure to give yourself time to create the special board. Enjoy putting your creativity and heart into this emotional and inspirational project. Use a quite and special time, find the perfect place, and commit to making this something truly yours!
Making your board:
Set the mood!! Turn the TV off, turn on some relaxing music., light a candle, and clear your space.
When it comes to actually putting your stuff on the board, it’s good to leave space in between each item because clutter can cloud the mind. However, while some may love (and need) that space, others may love the feeling of closeness and want everything to touch and overlap; If this is the case, then feel free to huddle it all together and overlap your objects. As for choosing what makes the final cut, lay everything out before you start finalizing your items on the board so you can get an idea of where you want everything!
Trying new things is a common new year’s resolution! If you haven’t been to one of our painting and wine classes, you should absolutely add it to your ‘things to do in 2018’ list! Our classes are the perfect way to try something new without requiring any prior experience! There aren’t many things out there that allow you to join in, never having done anything related to it before, and leave with something that looks like you’ve been practicing that craft for years!
At Pinot’s Palette, in Downtown Naperville, we offer 2-3 hour painting classes where you’ll start with a blank canvas and leave with a fully-painted picture in the end! That’s an incredible concept, considering most of our customers are either first-time painters or very new to the art of painting!
Perhaps your resolution is to live a little, have more fun, spend more time with friends and family…. Maybe it’s simply to drink more wine…. Whatever your promise to yourself and endeavors for the new year are, we can assist you in helping them to come true. We are a happy place… Make us YOUR happy place! Spend a fun and unique night out with the girls, have a sweet and interesting date night with your other half, or just come in, solo, and relax for the night as you paint and sip wine. Whoever you are, whatever you do, we have something for you! We offer a huge library of various styles of paintings, a lot of delicious wine and beer on our menu, and great music to listen to as you paint. If you’re looking for a way to have a fun night out in a wonderful environment, look no further, as Pinot’s Palette in Naperville is the place to be!
We’ll see you soon and wish you all the best in the New Year!
