If you're like me, you believe there is some validity to the law of attraction. That there is an energy that can help guide you in the direction you put the most effort into. There are numerous studies and books written on this principal, one of them being The Secret. Which is basically the principal that whatever you experience in life, is a direct result of your own thoughts, whether they are negative or positive and while I don't discredit this completely, I am also intrigued by it.
According to The Secret, your thoughts and feelings have magnetic properties and “frequencies.” They “vibrate” and resonate with the “universe,” somehow attracting events that share those frequencies back to their thinker. To me, this is a very fascinating idea.
Which leads us to something called a Dream Board. Some people say it has a direct connection with the principals stated in The Secret. A Dream Board is something you make by looking through magazines, catalogs, etc. and cut out images and words that trigger an emotional response, your hopes, dreams, influences, desires, where you see yourself, anything...the idea is that you cut these things out, and paste them on a piece of paper, or cardboard and place it in a prominent place. Someplace you will see at least once a day, where your mind will see it, see your visions clearly laid out for you.
Now, for those naysayers that say there is no way making a Dream Board and putting these thoughts into the universe will somewhat make my dreams come true, I get that. That isn't the point of this exercise. The point is that you put those images out into the world, you put them on paper, you look at them every day, and you are reminded of these dreams, hopes, and aspirations and you will do things, make changes in your life that will guide you toward it. It's the energy that YOU create that makes it happen. The universe is merely your canvas.
Here are some images of my process and my Dream Board. I encourage everyone to create one. Have fun!
