How To Manifest Your Dream Life

Action Boards

I know you probably have heard the term "Vision Board/ing". But if I may, I am going to call it an Action Board, simply because the word 'action' means "the fact or process of doing something.." plus I could write at least 100 different quotes from our favorite life coach on why taking action is necessary to achieve anything. I'll only mention one of my favorite - a simple Irish proverb that says:

"you'll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind"

So you can have all the vision in the world for anything, but without action, its dead. Ask me how I know!

Action Boards are a must because of how transformative they are. It’s the law of attraction.

Some years ago, when I made my first action board I realized just how powerful it was to write my vision, and do the action aligned to manifest that vision.

However, you might not know how to create an action board that works for you, Or you might think how does this even help you to achieve a goal.

This is the real secret:

It’s not the action or vision board that works. What works is your devotion to making your vision a reality.

Seeing your visions in sight, getting clear on what you want, and taking consistent action daily.

• 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊. Be still and really think about what you want for the year ahead. It doesn’t actually have to be for the year, it can be a month, the quarter, it’s your choice. But essentially what do you REALLY want? What are the things you value? And how do you want to feel when those things become your reality?

Also, do not feel compelled to write goals you THINK you should want; the action board will be useless if you do this! Write what your heart tells you, no matter how far fetched it seems right now. You don’t have to know exactly HOW you are going to make these dreams a reality just yet, you just have to know that you truly want.

• 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄. Now to the fun part. You want to LOVE your action board, so get some cute supplies.

+ poster board or corkboard

+ scissors

+ glue or pushpins

+ magazines/books that you can cut up

(Amazon and Michaels have supper cute supplies)

Basically gather whatever inspires you and make a collage. Find images and words that resonate with your intention. You can also print out inspirational quotes from online, use pictures of your family, or add your own flair with markers, colored paper and prints. Every time you look at your action board, you should be reminded of exactly what you want to accomplish.

• 𝐄𝐗𝐄𝐂𝐔𝐓𝐄. Don’t wait to feel how you want to feel. Put your action board into action immediately. Make a list of the things you need to start doing daily (small habits) to live in alignment with your intentions RIGHT NOW.

Think about the things that you can change and/or control RIGHT NOW. The things that you have control of are YOUR:

• 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

• 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

• 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

• 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
  

𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘, Put it in a place where you can see it everyday. (That works best for me) Seeing your vision daily will help to keep you on track with your everyday habits.

As you begin taking action to making your vision a reality, you will start to notice ‘𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆’ or limiting beliefs, unhealed emotional wounds, and unconscious patterns and habits that are actually preventing you from achieving your vision.

But this is where the real work comes in- healing these 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆, coupled with your aligned actions, is how you manifest your visions. There is no way around that.
