Step One: Get your Gift of Dreams

Step Two:Set a deadline for completion of your dream board. Click on the Set Your Time-Line button below and email your deadline to us at Gift of Dreams. Goal setting is infinitely more effective when you establish accountability for your actions. We will gently remind you as your deadline date approaches.

Step Three: Ask yourself,"What do I want?" Give yourself time to allow words and images to come to mind. This is arguably the most important step of the vision board process. When you give yourself the gift of clarity, the desire to accomplish your goal will become stronger.

Step Four: Browse through a stack of magazines that you have gathered for your dream board creation. Assemble various types of magazines that contain images related to your specific goals. Tear out photos and phrases that you like, that have relevance to your desires, and that make you feel good. The images may be of who you want to become, or what you want to have, where you want to live or where you want to vacation. You will have an assortment of pages, and most likely more than you will actually use on your board. Don't limit yourself or your dream as you gather the images. Remember to have fun with this! You may want to have your favorite soft music playing in the background.

Step Five: Gather postcards, journal entries, love letters, a favorite photograph of yourself, ticket stubs and other items that are meaningful to you and relate to your dream(s). As with Step Three, don't limit yourself as you ponder the choices for your dream board. Believe that your life can change to match the images and the desires.

Step Six: Unpack your Gift of Dreams and arrange contents on your work table. Go through the images, phrases, photos, etc., from Steps Three and Four and arrange your favorites on the canvas. Play with different arrangements, different combinations of images, focusing on the desires expressed in Step Two. Use your intuition to create the visual expression of your goals.

Step Seven: Cut the images and phrases into shapes and sizes that fit into the allotted location on the dream board. Use the specialty papers as background and to add splashes of color to your board.

Step Eight: Using rubber cement, glue everything to the canvas. Glue the favorite photograph of yourself on the board so that you can see yourself surrounded by your dream images! Using the pens provided, write inspirational phrases, words, even numbers, on your dream board. Use the pens to create a border around a specific image or thought. Make your board beautiful!

Step Nine: Hang your dream board in a place where you will see it often.

Step Ten: Continue gathering images, phrases and photos for subsequent dream boards. Store the items in your personalized dream box. As each dream comes true, repeat the steps above for new dreams. Or create different dream boards for various locations: one for the office, one for home.

You have the power to manifest in your life the things you envision.

See it. Be it.
