Today's blog post is once again brought to you by my favorite magical intern, Mariah:
How To Make a Vision Board Part II: Mariah’s Vision Board
If you’re wondering why it took me
so long to post part II of the vision board blog, I am a senior in college and
my crazy, hectic school semester has finally calmed down and has officially wrapped
up. All of my final exams, papers, and projects are turned in and complete. I
am finally free! …for now.
My vision board was inspired by my mantra: “Health, Wealth,
Love & Perfect Self Expression.” I have no idea where the mantra originated,
but my favorite “follow” on Twitter, @ShanaBeaa tweets the mantra almost every
morning and I’ve grown to love it and recognize that health, wealth, love &
perfect self-expression are things I want in life.
I prefer reading strong phrases and statements to looking at
pictures so my board is full of words. Words like strong, work, sexy, sweat,
summer, self, are all words that kind of stand out to me as key words. I want
to be strong and sexy for the summer time so I have to remember to work and SWEAT
to reach those goals.
Health: My weight loss journey
began June 2013 and I have lost 129 lbs since. I have definitely hit a plateau
and have been stuck at the same weight for I don’t know how long. When I look
at my board every morning, it will be a reminder to stay strong and remember
that it took years to pack on the pounds so it will take time to shed them.
Wealth: $ave, $$ave, $$$ave!! What
more can I say? Besides wanting to save money, I have to remind myself that I
have to WORK to get the money. “Good things come to those who work.” I love the
picture I found of the empire state building with the words “I finally earned
enough miles to fly to NYC.” The picture is perfect for my board because for
spring break 2015, I want to have enough money saved to take a trip to NY.
Love & Perfect Self Expression: Getting dressed and
ready at the start of every day is a perfect way to express myself. Besides
dressing to express myself, it is important to look presentable throughout the
day everyday. Making you look and feel good is an act of love and appreciation
for you. Sometimes, I let the fact that I am in college get in the way of me
dressing well like I know how. The women on my board along with the words
“Personal Style” are reminders to make the effort when getting dressed in the
mornings. Besides expressing myself through dress, on my board I have the words
“ladies night” and “anything could happen.” Those two phrases are reminders to
just have fun! Have fun and put myself out there because I never know what
could happen.
My vision board is placed where I can see it every morning
to start my day and every night to remind me before bed. My board is hanging on
the wall next to my bed.
If you have a vision board, share with me your boards,
ladies!
