Quitter….Shmitter<\/em><\/h1>\nDid you know there\u2019s actually a Quitters Day<\/a>?<\/p>\nYep.<\/p>\n
So if you’re still on track that’s great news because……<\/p>\n
We just passed it, it\u2019s technically the second Friday in January.<\/p>\n
That marks the day that, research data out of the UK found that self-motivation to keep up New Year\u2019s resolutions takes a hit and starts to plummet.<\/p>\n
No quitters among us<\/h1>\n
Since we don\u2019t want Red Shoe readers to fall victim to this rather ominous sounding day and be labelled a quitter (nnnnnoooooo)<\/em> here\u2019s a kick in the form of a fun art project to keep you going.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s called a Vision Board<\/a>, it\u2019s fun to make and the best thing is that it really does work.<\/p>\nThe last one I made was in 2013. \u00a0I documented the making of it in a\u00a0blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\nI pulled it out the other day and (honestly) wasn\u2019t really surprised to see that almost everything represented on my vision board is now a part of my life. In the last 6 years I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone….built my coaching practice, championed women to become all they can be, been asked to speak at over 50 women’s retreats and events, traveled to Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Croatia and Italy, have a strong, fit body, and have an idea for a book currently being workshop-ed by a group of women across the county.\u00a0 Unfilled is the desire to build a large platform for service. I know that will come. In the meantime I’m involved in several smaller ways that support and serve others.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The vision board I made in 2013. Only one dream left to fulfill.<\/p><\/div>\n
How it Works<\/h1>\n
It\u2019s all based on taking a thought out of the \u2018intellect\u2019 and making it tangible by putting images to it allowing you to see it, feel it and believe it.<\/p>\n
Replacing a thought with representative images moves the thought into another part of the brain (the activation cortex) where the brain seeks to find opportunities to make the thought concrete.<\/p>\n
Jack Canfield bestselling author of (among others) Chicken Soup for the Soul, The Aladdin Factor and The Success Principles says that, \u201ccreating a vision board is probably one of the most powerful visualization tools available to you, a concrete representation of your desires for your dream life with images that you can see.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\nBe a Super Lady<\/h1>\n
It\u2019s like being granted superpowers to create anything you dared to imagine.<\/p>\n
Seriously. This works.<\/p>\n
