Ask, Believe, Receive!

Creating a vision board is fun!  This is the one I made yesterday.  I thought I’d keep it simple to start with; I don’t want the universe to think I’m being greedy.

I’ve got three things on here which symbolise my three major goals for this year.  The first is a job advertisement for a pretty awesome sounding job.  Beneath that is a picture of a house (yes, that is a swimming pool in the backyard), and up the top is a picture of a kitten. 

The other items include a cheque from the universe for $50,000 (I printed this off the official Secret website), and photos from my trip to Italy and Greece last year.  From the minute I arrived home, I’ve wanted to go back there.

I’ve also gone a little crazy on Photoshop, and tweaked the summaries for my two hobbies – freelance writing for suite101.com, and being a Nutrimetics consultant.  I edited these to see myself earning some real money from these.

Finally, I’ve added my horoscope which I cut out of the paper near the very beginning of January.  It says “2011 is barely a week old and already there are so many shifting dynamics that it’s clear that this is going to be one very interesting year.”  I’m choosing to take this as a sign from the universe that things are going to work out for me this year.

For the final touches on my vision board, I added some particularly girly ribbons.  I did this so that when it is hanging on my wall, there is absolutely no way I can avoid looking at it.  I’ve also written “Ask, Believe, Receive” as a reminder of how The Secret works, and the power of the imagination.

So that’s one thing I can cross off my list.  Today I’ve decided to add two Things to Achieve to my routine.  These are fairly similar so it makes sense to me to do them both at the same time.  The first is “Make your last thoughts before going to sleep good thoughts”, and the second is: think through the events of your day before you go to sleep.  In your mind re-create any events that did not go the way you wanted by re-playing them “in a way that thrills you”.   

Oh, I should probably also mention that I got out of bed at 7.40 this morning.  I’ll be honest, I did hit the snooze button once, but realistically that’s probably what I’d do if I really was waking up to go to work.
