Creating Vision Boards, What's Next? (What If? Workshop Part 2)

The What If? Workshop part two was wonderful!  Some even experienced the abundance flow just after the first workshop.  We had so much fun playing and creating together.  As we gathered around tables with our cut outs from magazines, glue, and gel pens, we enjoyed sharing a piece of ourselves during the creative process.  As we helped each other with ways to express our wants on our boards we discussed what comes next in the manifestation process.

            Now that we cleared ourselves and created vision boards, what comes next?  The first thing about manifesting to be understood is that we must allow things to happen.  The process of manifesting is not about controlling what we want and how we get it, but it is about allowing what is best for us (we think to small) and allowing it to happen in its own way not the way we think it should happen.  I think that the later is the most difficult thing to do.  We are limited in the way we think that things can come to us.  We can’t envision achieving our goals in any other way so we sometimes don’t even notice when it actually happens.  For instance, last year I put on my vision board that I wanted to write.  In my mind this meant finishing a book I had been working on, writing my blog and in general spends a good portion of each day writing something.  When I created my vision board in January I had already enrolled in and was about to begin a college English course.  With taking two college courses and all the other things going on in my life I really didn’t have time to work on my writing projects everyday as I had planned.  It wasn’t until the middle of April did I realize that I had been working on my writing through my English class.  I must have written a full book that semester between both classes I was taking.  I received exactly what I needed.  During that time I learned so much about writing and received so much practiced which was what my goal had been.  The moral of the story is to be open to your dreams coming to you in unexpected ways.

            It’s time to start allowing and stop controlling and begin recognizing all the ways that your dreams are coming true.

New Year Giveaway to Inspire You!

Happy New Year!

                It is amazing how fast I let go of 2012 and now all my focus is on what I want to create for 2013. In reviewing my vision board from last year, there was only one thing that I didn’t make much progress in, but everything else I hit spot on!  Woo Hoo!

                Last year I facilitated a What If? workshop (for more information on this year’s What If? Workshop go to (Livdivine.com) where we cleared away beliefs that no longer served us; listened to our hearts to understand what our soul desires; and then we created vision boards.  Within weeks everyone had already manifested something on their board!  You can bet that we will all be back again to create our year of 2013.

                I had taken some time off from my teaching and healing work due to burn out and my own health challenge (all better now).  The time has now come to go back to my life purpose of helping people embrace and live their true self through my teachings and writings.

                The beginning of a New Year can be confusing and scary for some.  “What will the New Year hold for me?” “It has to be better than last year, right?”   If you didn’t already know, YOU have control over your life.  You and only you have the power to create the year (world) you want for yourself.  And the thing you should be aware of is that if you don’t consciously create your world, you will create something that you don’t want because you are not paying attention to what you are saying, thinking and doing.  And that my friend is when life goes out of control and we can’t seem to achieve our goals.

                So how do you enter the New Year full of excitement and knowing that you will achieve your goals because that is the way you planned it?  First get clear on what you want (no matter how crazy it may seem), next write it down and review it often.  That is where a vision board comes in handy.  It is a wonderful visual reminder of what we want and keeps us focused.  Also, if you can take a moment every so often and really see yourself reaching your goals that can be very powerful.  And when faced with a decision always ask yourself, “Will this bring me closer to my goals”?  Before you know it you will be where you wanted to go!

                Do you still need a little inspiration to figure out what you want for 2013 and how to get started?  No fear I can help with that.  Three things that ALWAYS inspire me are books/reading, writing (helps me get unstuck if I write randomly) and creating (anything).   

With that said, I am offering my blog readers a chance to win some tools to help create their best 2013 they possibly can.

Creating for the Sake of Creating

Forward:  I posted this blog on my other site Blog.livdivine.com on November 8, 2011.  I thought it was worth posting again.  Enjoy!  

We have all started projects and some of us have actually finished one or two of them.  Others have dreams of other artistic endeavors like writing, painting & sewing.  The thing is we all at one time or another have had the desire to create.  So what stops us from either getting started or complete something once we do start it?  One thing that gets in my way is fear that what I create won’t be good enough.  No matter how my heart urges me to sit down and write or sew I seem to put it off.  It’s too scary.  Recently that changed for me.
