What we're going to choose (as adults) is micro-inspirational quotes; the kinds of snippets that you would apply to an inspirational collage, Vision Board, or Vision Book. If you look to the right side bar on this blog, you'll see an ad for a Step One Vision Board. These are really cool versions of this same idea, but in video format. These are also called Mind Movies and you can find a bunch on YouTube if you're not into making your own.
Back in the 80's, when creating Vision Books (scrapbooks with pictures of what you're dreaming of) first came into vogue, I made one (or two or three) of these books. Later, about twenty years later! I found these scrapbooks and was amazed that every single thing had come true. Everything! It was astounding. So I really believe in inspiration, especially visual inspiration. Keep it around to keep you focused on your goals.
Our Vision Craft today is really EASY:
Step 1: Gather together a bunch of newspapers (the Sports section is great!), magazines, brochures, junk mail, etc. Anything paper or cardstock.
Step 2: Then you'll begin to look for one-liners that inspire. Grab some scisssors and cut. They should be bookmark-sized and can be left plain. Or, if you'd like to get fancy, you can take them to the library (FREE) or a print shop like Kinkos, and laminate them. You can do about 6 for around $2.00 at Kinkos.
Press them between the laminate, heat and roll, then cut. Be sure to snip the corners of each one so that you don't have any sharp edges.
Step 3: Once you have a bunch, you can keep them nearby in a decorative box or basket. That way they'll be easy to grab when needed.
