Journey for a better me

Today's blogpost comes from Whimsicalitea board member & Studio 14 volunteer and Craftress Merilou Benson:



At the start of the year, I pause to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new year. I'm not good at goal setting, but I try. I think about some short-term goals and a couple of long-term ones. Then, I create a vision board.

I find that having a vision board is a great way to display what I want in life. It helps me pause from the craziness of the world and spend some time focused on me. On the board, I put not only pictures but also key words/phrases and positive affirmations. I also include little hidden things that only I know about. 

When I'm feeling lost or drained, looking at the vision board is a great way to have reminders of what I'm living for and what I want life to be. It also can give me a little spark to inspire me or be a cheerleader to help me keep moving forward.

If you want to create your vision board, click here to join me at Studio 14 on January 10 to create one.
