I know that one of my FAVORITE people that I met through the blogiverse (and who happens to live in my own back yard – well, not LITERALLY, but work with me people) talks about visualization and making vision and gratitude boards. It’s not that I LEARNED this from the ultimate MizFit… but I love her reminders to focus my energy in productive ways… even if she doesn’t KNOW that she’s reminding me… because she’s pretty cool like that.
It’s been a while since I created a vision board at home and it’s not something I typically share… some of the images are the reality I’d like to create… some of the images are my reality that I need reminding of…
Have you ever looked in a mirror one day and seen horrible ugly things but the next day or even a few minutes later you look in the same mirror and see something beautiful?  Perception is a powerful thing… Sometimes, we see ugliness where there really is beauty and I think we could all use the occasional reminder to focus with our hearts and not always with our minds…
I’ve done gratitude boards before. and vision boards… and they mean different things to different people… I’ve also toyed with the idea of a gratitude journal but let’s face it… finding MORE time to write – even just a few lines at the end of the day – could be problematic… so instead, I’m going to spend some time with my kiddos this weekend and a few magazines, scissors, glue sticks, and patience… and see what unfolds.  I’ll be happy to report back once we’ve finished… and maybe the lesson to learn will be one my kids teach me… those are my favorite lessons anyway 🙂
In the meantime… I’m curious to know
Do you use vision and/or gratitude boards and/or journals to shape your reality? To help you stay focused? for some other purpose I haven’t even touched on?
