- Make a list of things you want in your life and make a picture collage out of it. Teach your children how to make one too. Or let them teach you. n
- Include things, relationships, connections, people, God, feelings, etc. n
- Use symbols and symbolism, words and photos, that are meaningful to YOU. n
- Use magazines with positive messages.- n
- NO NEGATIVES!!!!! Do not under any circumstances put the words "no debt" on your dream board or you will always get debt - no exceptions. Choose the words "wealth" or "financial freedom" instead. Do not use words like "lose weight" or "stop eating" or "stop being a pig" either or you will get weight and focus on eating and look like a pig. "Healthy body" or "feel fantastic" are better choices. n
- Use feelings behind your problem. "Love Exercise" will help you love exercise instead of hate it, which will make you lose weight. n
- I put characteristics and feelings I want from the relationships with the people in my life on the back of the photos before I glued them on. n
- Focus on others a little. What do you want for your children and family - write those words on the back of their photos. n
- I found the words "breathing space," yoga, meditation, quiet time, family time are good things. n
- Listen to the feelings that come up - they are pointing you in the right direction. If something feels wrong, wait to put it on or reevaluate whether you really want it and examine why. n
- Use the words "or better." If you use "or better" you leave God and the Universe room to give you even better than your own mind can imagine. n
- Be careful and intentional - what you put on this board you are going to get. n
- Hang it in your peripheral vision. n
- Put it on your computer as a slide show or as wallpaper. n
- Make the Dream Board in a Soaring Good Mood. n
- Take a step toward your goals. n
- Focus on the flow. Put the focus where it should be. n
- Put yourself on the board. Photos of your self and your name need to be on the board. n
- Be specific. n
- Pay attention and acknowledge. Acknowledge that your marriage is better or that you're enjoying your children more or that your not as stressed about money in a few months. n
- Give thanks. Thank God (or the Universe or whatever you believe in) for giving you everything on your board. Both before and after you receive it. n
