Day 28:       Create Your Dream Board.

 

    You can do this by yourself or you can do it with friends or family.  It is a lot of fun with a group of people and you may discover new things about each other.

    Buy a poster board, grab all those old magazines, pictures, scissors and a glue stick. 

    Travel magazines, catalogs and home design magazines are great for this.  Think about the things you want in your life.  Where do you want to live, where do you want to vacation, who are the people you want around you?  What kind of car do you want to drive?  Do you want a boat?  A private jet?  A housekeeper? 

    Go through the magazines and find pictures that represent what you want in your life.  (My dream board has several pictures of Tony Bennett on there and lots of pictures of white sand beaches.)  Arrange the pictures any which way you want and glue them to the poster board.  Some people work outward from the center – they choose what they want to center their life around (family, God, career, fun) and work outward from that.  Others go with a linear logic, almost creating a story board.  And others do a mish-mash collage of pictures, overlapping and mixing in different things.  There is no wrong way to do this.  Unless you SuperGlue your fingers to the table.  That would be wrong. 

    Then hang your dream board where you can see it every day.  This will be a constant reminder of how you want your life to be.  Putting that life in front of you visually, on a daily basis will help you stay on track to living a life you love.
