Let Your Dreams be Bigger than Your Fears!

It's 2019! It's a whole new year! I'm glad that we made it and i'm super excited for what's in store for me (and you) this year! I don't believe in New Year resolutions because I rarely -  if at all -  ever keep them. Listen! Since 2016, I was supposed to lose weight and let's just say I did the opposite of that, LOL. But, i'm such a believer in chasing what you want for yourself. So...... if you want a new car, well you know what you have to do to get that. Save.....maybe sell your old car and save... but you'd just have to take the necessary steps to accomplish that goal. Sounds like a great plan in your head but it's a ton of work and i'm sure you'd agree.

Here's where vision-boarding comes in! I learned about vision-boarding a couple years ago and recently I found a vid about it again and I was like *in my head* "you know you never did that vision board you said you were gonna do that one time". And here's the perfect opportunity! It's a new year, why not do it? It just takes a bit of effort.

So basically, vision-boarding is a way for you to have a physical and visual reminder of the things you want to achieve. I'm not super strict with myself so I won't say the vision board is for 2019 only, but it's great when you set a deadline to achieve your goal and actually stick to them. On the other hand, everyone is different and will take different amounts of time to achieve their goals. That's a conversation you'll have to have with yourself, internally. Set your goals and achieve them at your own pace.

I created my vision board by using the following steps:

1. Go to Youtube and look at crazy amounts of vids on how to create a vision board!

2. Get a board - Choosing the size of the board was difficult. I didn't want anything too big, or too small either, so I settled with 24 inches x 16 inches and I got it at my workplace.

3. Figure out which categories you'd like to include on the board - I chose career, health & fitness, finances, family, school goals, hair goals and adventures and I chose to include random inspirational quotes to insert on the board. This is totally up to you!

4. Find old magazines, newspaper articles, print stuff from online - anything really - to get the images that you want in each of the categories and cut them out and apply them to the board.

Some persons frame their board, but I was (and still am) on a budget, so we ain't all about that fancy life. Check out the image below to see how my board came out!
