Feb 28, 2011 Create Your Vision Board – Create Your Life

Monday Feb 28th from 4-6 pm  With Life Coach – Karin Conway

What do you envision you life looking like in your future? Are you dreaming about what you would like to see but it never seems to appear? Please join us to create the life of your dreams! If you don’t have a road map (vision board) to keep you on track, how will you stay focused on the result? Creating a vision board can you live the life of your dreams. This simple exercise of creating a vision of your “future life” has had a profound impact on many people. Oprah is a big fan of vision boards…aka Dream Board. You can create one online on her website. http://www.oprah.com/spirit/O-Dream-Board-Envision-Your-Best-LifeTM

We are doing ours the old-fashioned way…by cutting and pasting pictures of what we want to see in our future, and placing them strategically into a collage on a board. We will have a lot of supplies, but it doesn’t hurt to bring along a few pictures of things that really move you.  These could be family-related, career, financial, travel, spiritual, health and fitness, home, entertainment, love and relationships, etc. You decide what moves you. Maybe you will select a picture of a million dollars…maybe a picture of a happy family strolling on the beach?…maybe a perfectly aligned, lean body? There is no right or wrong way…just your way of seeing your future life.

Create your own Vision Board to serve as a daily reminder of your aspirations and what you want your life to be.

When; Monday Feb 28th from 4-6 pm

Location; Ameriprise Financial Office 16650 W Bluemound Rd. Brookfield, WI 53005 (just behind Marty’s Pizza)
