Okay, so you have a goal — losing weight, saving money, buying a house, or flying to Europe. How do you get inspired to reach your goal? We’re going back to junior high and making collages! Since we’re now mature adults, we don’t do collages of our Hollywood crushes, such as Rick Springfield, Duran Duran, and Shaun Cassidy. Instead, we make inspiration boards!
Take some of those magazines lying around. I know you have them. Flip through the magazines and cut out pictures and words that have meaning to you and your goal. In addition to magazines, you can print out poems, words, phrases, and photos that inspire you.
Paste them on a piece of paper and hang it up prominently as a reminder. You can make separate inspirational collages for each goal, or make one to cover all of them. One friend of mine, who is an attraction coach, suggests you can also place those pictures in the pages of a journal.
Placement is key. If you go to the trouble of making an inspiration board, put it where you can see it. Slide the pages into a plastic sleeve to hang on a bathroom mirror or tack it up on the refrigerator. If you have a bulletin board or space above your desk, put it there. Like I said, put it where you can see it and be reminded of your goals. Pictures of Rick Springfield are optional.
