As promised in the last post, we are discussing manifestation boards today.
First of all, let's look at the difference between the words "vision" and "manifest":
Vision - envision; to picture to oneself
Manifest - to make certain by showing or displaying
Visions don't always come to fruition, however manifestations are things that have already come to fruition.
So, with those distinctions made, what do you truly want to see manifesting in your life this year?
I recommend you make a visual representation of those things and post it in a place where you will see it every day - whether that means simply writing out a list and posting it on the fridge; taking a piece of construction paper and gluing words and pictures to it and putting it where you'll see it every day; or decoupaging pictures, words, and other talismans or tokens that represent your vision for your life on a canvas.
The idea is to keep your goals, what you want to see flourishing in your life this year, firmly in front of you.
Also - these are living works of art, just like your life is, which means you can update them as you need to if things change over the course of the year.
My current manifestation board includes a map of New Mexico with the city of Albuquerque prominently highlighted, and my Udemy course page, as well as words and images that invoke personal power for me - healthy, happy, responsible, peace, love gratitude, and karma to share a few.
What images and words are you using for your manifestation board? What meaning and personal power do they have for you?
CALL TO ACTION: Create a visual representation of those things you want to see flourish in your life this year.
CHECK-IN: How are you doing with the other calls to action thus far? Are you moving out on your goals for the year? If not, perhaps creating a manifestation board will help you refocus your energy to do so.
NEXT TIME: New month, new theme...with the taxman coming on April 15th (at least here in the States), Finances are the theme for the month.
Until next time, Namaste!

MaXIMIze - Resolutions versus Goals
Well, we are now 10 days into the new year - how are you doing with your New Year's resolutions?
One thing I noticed when I used to go to the gym was that during January, the gym would be packed with people. By mid-February, though, the crowds would thin out again and we regulars could use our favorite machines in peace once more. I noticed the same thing at the start of every semester when I was in college. The parking lot and the classrooms would be full to the gills at the beginning and then a few weeks into it, you could actually get a parking space and a desk without a problem.
You'll notice the title of this blog is Resolutions versus Goals. Resolutions are great, however, in order to follow through on them, you need to set clear, concise, achievable goals.
We've discussed this topic before in this blog, most notably in the post from January 26, 2014, titled Values, Goal Setting, and the Five Whys.
If you make a resolution or set a goal without a clear reason as to why you are doing so, and I mean why YOU are doing so, not why someone else wants you to do so, then you are setting yourself up for failure.
I'll give you an example from my own life.
I've touched on the fact that dealing with my financial piece of life has been a struggle for me. Well, I worked through getting out of debt - except to myself - over the last two years, and am currently debt-free, have money in the bank, and am getting funds back on my taxes for the first time in the last four years.
Why did I do this - what was MY reason for doing so, not someone else's? Freedom, pure and simple. That, and not leaving a mess for my children to clean up. Which is why I am following through on the last goal to meet my resolution of having my financial life in order - getting all my financial paperwork - rental agreement on my apartment, credit card statements, bank statement, insurance policies, titles to my cars, annual benefits information, etc. - in one place and getting my wishes recorded and codified.
I found a Trapper Keeper binder on clearance at Office Depot, and lined up my paperwork in the plastic document protectors you can put in binders. I still have some things to do (make copies of my credit and debit cards to put in the binder, for example), but I have made major strides towards moving my rating of my financial health from a 5 last year to an 8 or higher by the end of this year.
CALL TO ACTION: Take one resolution you made for the new year and break it down into clear, concise, achievable goals. Then, move out on those goals.
Next time, we will discuss moving from Bitching to Bragging, how to move from a place of lack to a place of abundance.
Until then, Namaste!
