Your Life, Your Vision

The New Year is here!
You probably all have a bunch of New Year's resolutions.
We want to help you take those distant thoughts and maybes to realities!
You can truly accomplish anything with Perseverance, Hard Work, Small Steps, Vision, and Know Why you want it. Without a good enough why, you will never stick with anything.
A good example of this is the loosing weight goal..  If you just want to loose weight to look good, your probably not going to follow through ;).  If instead you want to loose weight to get healthy, feel better, and have energy to accomplish your dreams you will be more likely to stick with it.
 
The first thing to accomplishing anything, is to figure out Why you really want to accomplish it. Your why needs to be strong and for a good intention. An example of one of our goals is to meditate daily. Our WHY is that meditation helps us stay centered, open, and clear in turn keep us on track with the huge list of goals, dreams, school, etc. that we want to accomplish. Without meditation we know we will probably get overwhelmed, tired, and start forcing things to happen, instead of allowing them to happen. We can stay on track with daily meditation by knowing the great benefits that it has in store for us, and we know that if we skip meditation we are less likely to accomplish all of our goals, dreams, school, health, etc. So make sure when you make your resolutions, your WHY is strong and you know the benefits as well as the downfalls of sticking to them.
 
 
The second thing is to fake it tell you make it! This is invaluable, our brains are wired this way. When you set your goals, intentions, dreams, resolutions have them as if you are already living them. We are what we think. For example, instead of saying I want to loose 10lbs, tell yourself you weigh the weight you desire. Or if you want to win some contest, tell yourself you are the winner. Telling yourself this sends a message to your brain and the Universe. Your brain doesn't want you to think your crazy so it immediately starts working to make your thoughts a reality. So every cell in your body starts to make it happen. The same thing happens with the Universe, we run off energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transferred.  This means you send out your thoughts from your body through energy to the Universe and you attract more of that energy to yourself. So make sure to watch your thoughts, they are powerful beyond measure. Negativity breeds negativity. Positivity breeds Positivity.
 
"We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world."
-Buddha
 
The third thing is to envision what you want to be true. Envisioning every detail of what you want to accomplish is so, so powerful. It again sends signals to the brain and the Universe to start accomplishing your visions. You can do this through daily meditation, vision boards, drawings, etc. We like to do meditation, journaling, and Vision boards.  When you do a vision board take images, pics, drawing, symbols, or whatever it is that reminds you of your visions and put it together on a wall or cork board. Underneath the image or symbol also write out the goal or intention. Then put your vision board/wall somewhere you will see it everyday.
 
Here are some examples:


 Here's a great example of putting your dreams and goals into the present
 



 
 
 

Hope these pictures help, they are all different ways you can do your vision board.
Be creative, be unique, make it the way you want it!
 
The fourth thing is to break your goals down into small steps. Do not try to accomplish something overnight. Break it into daily, monthly, weekly steps that will take you closer to achievement.
