This is my vision board. If you've read anything about creating what you want in life, then you'll know there is a point at which you've simply got to let go of your desire so things can happen.

According to the law of attraction, your thoughts and feelings can cause changes in the world that attract positive or negative experiences that correspond to your thoughts and feelings, whether or not you're aware of it.

This concept is hotly debated in my home and considered pseudoscience in the scientific community. Still, it has been written about by many including Michael Losier and Esther and Jerry Hicks. According to the theory, we can sometimes get in our own way. We don't "allow things in". We keep having thoughts involving doubt, which steer desire off its own path.

One way to keep the mind focused is the self-motivating act of creating a vision board. Really just a positive thinking assignment, the vision board involves taking images and words that move you and putting them all in one spot. You then place it somewhere prominent so you can be constantly reminded of your goal, and get all those positive fuzzy feelings that prevent you from sounding like Eeyore.

I like my vision board. I put it on a bright pink poster and grouped words and images in main goal areas including inner beauty, health and travel.

Looking at it really buoys me up. I think that's the point.
