| It is known that we create what we want in three | | | | thoughts aside and continue your daily writing. |
| steps: Ask, Believe, Receive. | | | | Within 26 to 32 days you will start to feel differently, |
| The Vision Board is one way you learn to ask for | | | | you will find that you have almost memorized the list, |
| what you want. It helps you get very clear about what | | | | you will be perhaps astonished to find that some of |
| it is you want. Now you just need to believe that what | | | | the statements you are writing are actually happening! |
| you want is yours! It's important to realize that your | | | | There is one rule. You cannot skip of day of writing |
| brain, from the moment of birth, has actually been | | | | your list. If you do, when you begin again, it will be as if |
| programmed to have certain beliefs, usually inherited or | | | | you are starting at day one again. |
| instilled by well meaning people who wanted to protect | | | | I just have to slip in one more rule. Be centered in |
| you from disappointments or injury. All of these beliefs | | | | gratitude for all the things that you currently have in |
| have brought you to this point in your life. If you are not | | | | your life. This is part of step three, the receiving part. |
| happy with where you are right now, this is an | | | | Now you have your Vision Board, your daily |
| indication that your beliefs need to be changed. To do | | | | statements of 'wants' and you are grateful for the life |
| this you need to build some new neurotransmitters in | | | | and the things you have. |
| your brain. | | | | Okay, I promise this is the last rule....begin acting, |
| This really is actually based on science! Everything is | | | | speaking and thinking as though you have already |
| ENERGY. Thought is the most potent form of energy. | | | | received what you have asked for! Remember, |
| All thought is in a constant state of vibration. All of | | | | everything is energy and when you begin to emit the |

| frequency in order to attract what we want! You | | | | and events for you to receive. Leave the "how" up to |
| have the power to choose those thoughts. | | | | the Universe. |
| So let's take this a step at a time. For each picture of | | | | Today's Assignment. Action follows thought. Look at |
| your desires that you have on your Vision Board, | | | | your Vision Board and dream, dream, dream. Your |
| formulate words to describe it and write them down. | | | | mind thinks in pictures, not words. Allow yourself to |
| ie: "I'm enjoying eating the delicious foods compatible | | | | become immersed in the wonderful feelings of living |
| with my best health", or "I'm feeling fabulous at ___ | | | | your dreams. Once again, the feelings put you on the |

| the warm, moist ocean breeze on my face while | | | | write down one action step you can take to begin to |
| standing on the deck of my brand new sailboat". | | | | put the wheels in motion toward the achievement of |
| Use very descriptive "feeling" language. Ensure that the | | | | that desire. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Even a |
| sentence is worded in the present tense. In other | | | | small baby step starts your journey. Remember, you |
| words stay away from phrases like " I will..." or I want....", | | | | are aligning actions with thoughts so they are on the |
| these keep you in a state of "willing" and "wanting" | | | | same frequency. You are in harmony with the Law of |
| instead of 'having'. Avoid words such as "lose weight" | | | | Attraction. |
| or "debt" for those will become the focus and you | | | | Anytime you experience frustration with any of the |
| don't want to focus on loss or debt. Instead, use a | | | | above, realize that it is caused by your old |
