Vision Board

As part of the Icing Transformation Challenge, I have decided that I’m going to spend February focusing on how I’m going to make 2009 a golden year.  My first task that I set myself was to create a vision board.  Now, I have lost count of just how many times I’ve torn up magazines in preparation for making a vision board, only to leave the scraps lying around the house until I got fed up of them and put them out for recycling.  This time I actually took the next step, and arranged and pinned them onto the notice board I keep in my bedroom.

As you can see, I chose lots of pictures that featured gold in them, and I added some extra bling using a pack of gold stars that I recently discovered during a post-thesis declutter.  Here are a couple of close-ups shots so you can see it in better detail:

The images symbolise abundance, wealth, spiritual growth, positivity, travel, and creativity: all elements that I would like to attract into my life.  I really had a lot of fun putting this together and I can’t tell you how happy it makes me feel every time I look at it!

Have you tried your hand at a vision board? How did you find the experience?  If you’ve not given it a go as of yet, what kind of images would you choose and what would you like to attract into your life?
