Use Scrapbooks and Vision Boards to Accelerate the Manifestation of Your Goals and Dreams

March 15, 2010 - PRLog -- "Grand Designs" is a real estate programme chronicling the journey of those creating their ideal home. This program usually features couples and one or the other usually has a scrapbook of the furnishings and fittings that they want to be included in their ideal home. Often the scrapbooks have been compiled over several years. So it is a delight to watch many of the cuttings becomes treasured three-dimensional objects in the new homes.

What is clear is that these individuals visualised their dream homes and not just the outer shell. They imagined, with great detail, how their ideal home would be inside and out. Then they focused on these images, ultimately transforming them from concept to reality.

The scrapbooks worked in the same way as a vision board where you collate images that are representative of your dreams and goals. It doesn't have to be about one theme. In fact, it is best if the scrapbook or vision board is a balanced representation of all the key areas of your life - home, finance, relationships, health, personal development, spirituality, career, etc. However, a word of caution - be meticulous in selecting your images or else you could end up manifesting or attracting things into your life that you don't want.

The act of creating a scrapbook or vision board helps to imprint the images of what you want on your sub-conscious mind and, in this way, helps your sub-conscious mind to work on manifesting what you want. You wouldn't approach an architect and say build me a house. You would describe to the architect the type of house you wanted and then you would work together to edit the basic design until it was congruent with the concept in your mind. Only then will the architect be in a position to produce the detailed plans so that the various individuals who will, in essence, be 'attracted' to your project, can accurately execute their part in breathing life into your master plan.

Scrapbooks or vision boards are fun to create and are most effective when you refer to them on a regular basis. However, even if you create one and forget to consciously look at it for months or even years on end you'll be surprised at what you manifest in your life.

John Assaraf, one of the stars of "The Secret", bought his dream home, renovated it for a year and was living in it before he realised that the new home he had bought was the home he had placed a picture of on one of his vision boards years before. The moment he realised what he had done was one of his defining moments.

"I finally understand how the Law of Attraction works. I finally understand the power of visualisation. I finally understand everything I've read, everything I've worked with, how I build companies - it worked for my home as well. I bought my dream home and I didn't even know it."

Allowing yourself to get emotionally involved with the images in your scrapbooks or vision boards helps you to manifest your goals more quickly. Plus it feels great when you imagine you are actually living your dream. And remember your sub-conscious mind cannot differentiate between what is real and what is imagined so train your mind to imagine what you want.

You don't have to restrict yourself to creating a scrapbook or a vision board. The more references your sub-conscious mind has to work with the better. Plus having different versions of these tools will mean that you can have a visual reminder of your goals wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Place images inside cupboards and on doors. You can even carry a miniature inside your purse or wallet. Nowadays, you can also create digital vision boards or even movies that you can view on yourr computer and or iPod.

The truth is any positive symbolism of your goal or dream will work.

Success Coach, Jack Canfield once placed a $100,000 dollar bill over his bed when he set himself a goal of earning that amount of money in a year. Of course it wasn't a real one hundred thousand dollar bill but to his sub-conscious mind it represented one hundred thousand dollars and that was enough. Canfield would see that note first thing in the morning and visualise himself living the lifestyle of someone who earned that amount of money. What great way to start the day!
