ATHENA Knows will be announcing a Fall workshop to coincide with the book launch of ATHENA founder's second novel, Dating da Vinci soon. Da Vinci's theme is finding joy so we're devoting the rest of 2008 to that topic.
First up: How to Create A Vision Board
Have you heard of The Secret?
You don't have to have read it to understand the Law of Attraction and how it works. Have you noticed that people who are very goal-oriented and positive tend to see those things materialize? So espouses the Law of Attraction - what you focus on grows bigger.
A vision board is a pictorial of your goals and dreams, divided into these 5 areas:
• Health & Fitness
• Living Environment
• Social Activeness
• Career Development
• Financial Wealth
Think about some of these items and then find pictures to correlate with your soul desires and either cut pics out of magazines or print off from the Internet. Words from magazines are fine, too. Glue them on a white posterboard and then hang it up somewhere we you can review them, much like affirmations, often.
If you're feeling rather - this won't work - just give it a try and see for yourself. If you don't want to cover your whole life, simply try a project you are working on at work, or a Family board or just one area of your life you'd like to improve. I think you'll be surprised at the results. As you may have heard - if you believe, you can achieve.
PLUS, don't forget to get your read on over at Athena's Bookshelf, book picks for smart picks. You won't have any excuse for not knowing what you should pick up at the bookstore, whether it be fiction or non-fiction titles. Go to http://www.athenasbookshelf.com.
