Having Fun with Dream Boards

Dream Boards are so much fun.

All you need is a nice piece of coloured cardboard, some magazines, glue, pens and pencils, scissors and a great imagination.

Put everything you would like to achieve on your Dream Board, whether you believe you can achieve it or not, it doesn't matter.

Make it colourful, make it personal, make it yours.

When you have finished creating, pop your dream board up somewhere where you will see it often.

This is a great reminder to the unconscious mind of where you are planning on heading and what you are wanting to achieve, even in your wildest dreams.

Have fun

Gratitude

We can get very caught up in life and events that happen.

Sometimes it is hard to stop and think what is there to be grateful for.

We are busy, busy, busy, doing, doing, doing, but how often to we make time to just STOP and take STOCK.

It is always interesting listening to peoples perceptions of life.  Some people can be hit so hard and through no fault of their own, you wonder how they get up in the morning. And others seem to get stuck on the little stuff.

What is one way you could build some extra coping resources today?

Having a gratitude journal is one way, and instead of letting your mind control you, take control of your mind, and when things get on top of you, take 5 to see how you could handle that differently next time, instead of the automatic pilot patterns taking over.

Have a super day,

2016 Make it YOUR year

Well 2016 is well and truly here.

How has it been so far?

Some of those New Years Resolutions might have already gone out the door, or maybe not even started.

How do we engage ourselves into our goals and dreams and make them become reality?

Often we can have ideas of things we want to do and we carry them with us for many years.  What we forgot to do sometimes is update the goal list.  A goal that you set years ago might not even be that relevant now, but for whatever reason we carry it with us as something we need to do.

Goals and Dreams always need to be inline with our values.  Our values are our CORE, what makes up our SOUL, what we live for, what we live by.

Effective goal setting always needs to have that first key of being inline with values.  If we are caught up with keeping up with the Jones and keeping up with the "in group" , we can often work hard, achieve things and they become bitter sweet on completion with success feelings not being that satisfying.

A great thing to do after checking in with your values, is create a Dream Board.  Our family have done these for many years, and I have run workshops on Dream Boards. They are fun and very effective for ALL AGES.

The idea of a Dream Board is to think about what you would like to achieve in life, big stuff, small stuff, stuff you think you might never be able to achieve.  If it interests you, it is important.  Find some magazines, books, brochures, internet info etc and cut out the pictures around your dreams that you like. Find words or print words that have meaning to you.  Make sure all of it is POSITIVE. Arrange them on a big piece of cardboard/ paper. Stick them on your Dream Board and pop that Dream Board up somewhere were you are going to see it often.

The mind is very, very clever.  Our conscious mind is busy helping us out with our tasks that we need to be thinking about, and our unconscious mind has a whole load of other processes going on. One of which is being aware of your dream board every time you see it, even if you haven't really consciously noticed you are looking.  Its the same thing as putting pictures of goals and dreams on the fridge. We visit the fridge many times a day, we glance at the picture, not really thinking about it too much as we are going to the fridge.  Meantime your unconscious mind is noticing and reconfirming over and over that this is important.  The power of positive reinforcement.

So have a think, and have some fun, Maybe you might like to create your own dream board, maybe you might like to create a family one.  Kids love this stuff.  Be mindful not to put your dreams and input into others dream boards, as we all hold our own values, beliefs, visions and dreams.

GO FORTH,   HAVE FUN,   MAKE 2016 YOUR YEAR

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Greetings to all...

December is such a busy time of year.

As the year draws to an end, it can have positive and negative feelings around it.

Be kind to yourself and be realistic about what you can and can't achieve this festive season.

Enlist the help of others if you need it, people are often happy to help if they know what you need.

Try to be in the moment and enjoy time with family and friends.
Avoid being the one running around, stressed out, trying to please everyone !!

Next year is a whole new year, a time to achieve whatever your heart desires.

What are your dreams for next year ?

Take care and stay safe this festive season
Kim and family

What is your Dream?

Have you ever had a dream?

Is it close or far away?

What will you need to do to make this dream become a reality?

What is the reality around this dream right now?

Is it toooo big, or toooo far away, or toooo complex to even know where to begin?

Is there someone out there doing something similar?  Is there someone out there that you could ask some advice from?

Is there some research you could be doing?

Is there a network you could be building to get you closer to your dream?

Is there different options you can take to start feeling your way around this dream?

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU COULD DO TODAY TO MOVE YOU

ONE STEP CLOSER...

Work/Life Balance

It is hard for some of us these days to get a good work/life balance.

How do you juggle all the things you need to do, in the time you have?

Life is busy, but does it need to be as busy as we are making it?

Are all the things on your "To do list" actually things that need to be done, or could some of them just be your personality type or programming, telling you that you MUST do all these things.

We can all get caught up in life and get caught up being busy.

A useful exercise is to write down where all your times goes.  Just keep a note for a week or so, and see where you times goes.

Then think about your values and what is important to you.  More than likely there will be things on your list that you need to do, and things that you probably might not need to do or you can delegate.

Think carefully about your list.  The great thing about making a list is you actually see where your times goes.  Time is one of those things that we can waste away and if we do not use our time efficiently, we end up robbing ourselves of quality time to do the things we really want to and the things that are important to us.

Success, What is it ?

The world "Success" gets thrown around a lot.

What is success?

Have you ever stopped to think about your own meaning of Success?

We can get badgered by subliminal advertising which is telling us what we need to do and own to be successful.  But by who's standards?

Our own personal success needs to be inline with our values.  If we don't honour our values, then goals and ambitions we have will be bitter sweet when we achieve them.

Our values are our true self.  If we listen to what others perceive as successful, it might not be in line with our personal/ family values.

Set your goals according to your values, believe you already are successful and life will become a lot more simple.

Forget what the Jones are up to next door or down the road, and live according to your values and your ambitions.

Change

Have you ever been in one of those situations when change is about to happen?

It can feel exciting, it can feel scary.

Whatever our perspective on the change, will be why we see it as a positive or a negative.

Change is an exciting time, it is a time for new growth, new adventures and a different way of doing things. While we can get caught up wanting to stay doing what we have always done, there isn't very much growth there.

Have you ever been on holiday, and experienced such rich experiences, you come home, you tell you friends and family all about it, and then after you come of your "holiday high" you realise everything is just as it was before you went.

With those thoughts in your mind, change can be the exciting and positive experience waiting for you.

What will you learn?  Who will you meet?  What rich life experiences might come of this experience.

Go for it ....

Work/Life Balance

We all get busy at times. While trying to provide for ourselves and families we can often get locked into a work work lifestyle.

Time Management is really important.  Often people will tell me they don't have time to relax as they are always too busy.

A great idea is to map out what your "busy" is. What do you spend your time doing?  When we write down what we do everyday, we might end up surprised at where our time goes.

Balance is all about getting more of an even keel on life.

I invite you to write down where all your time goes.

Make a list of your key values.

When you find our where all your times goes, check in and see if you time is going to the things you most value. If not it might be time to have a look at where your time is going.

Most of us work and that is a fact of life.  Getting the right balance doesn't mean when we are not working we have to have a lavish lifestyle and spend lots of our hard earned money.

Get back to the simple things in life.

Nature is free, very grounding and very nurturing for our soul.

The things you can do that don't cost a lot of money are probably going to be more beneficial for you.

So, I encourage you to map our your time allocations for the next few days, and see where it is going. If you are happy where it is going, then stay doing what you are doing.

If your time allocations aren't what you want, think about ways to change them so you can create your own personalised work/life balance.

Believe in Yourself

Life is precious and life is short.  As you get older you realise how fast time flies by.  We can often look back and wonder where did time go.

With that in mind, it is important to use our time wisely now.

I know myself I look back and think, why didn't I just go ahead and do what I wanted.  And my answer will be, my lack of self belief was enough to make me not want to carry through on my vision.

As I have got older, I have realised, you get "one shot" at life.  Life can be short. I myself lost a good friend when I was 18yrs old. And as the years have gone by, others around me, my same age have passed away from various things.

So, it poses the question, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?  What is it you want to be doing?

To have a low self esteem and a low belief in yourself isn't nice at all. I think in life at some stage we have all been there.  But there comes a  point of power, when you choose whether to carry on the way you are going or to make positive steps to change.

So if I said to you,

You have got one shot at life

Your point of power is now

Make a dream board

Do your research

Gather a like minded support team

Set that goal, and don't settle  for less

Aim, Take feedback, Review and  don't stop until you arrive at your desired destination

So what would you be doing then? !!

Positives and Negatives

As we all know in life, to every down is an up and to every negative there lies a positive.

To hold a positive attitude on life, can hold huge benefits for your well being, and the same can be said that by holding negative attitudes can make us feel terrible and can create illnesses for us.

Some people tend to get in that cycle of being negative, and getting critical of those around them for no better benefit that to make themselves feel better.  It is hard work when you are on the end of these people, but really the best idea is to distant yourself away from them. They will probably run themselves into the ground unfortunately.

Sometimes it is worth having a distance and surrounding yourself instead with like minded people. You  know those people, the ones who stand proud, who wave out to you, who are pleased to see you, who have a smile on their face and who love to find out how you are and how things are going for you.

Those people uplift you, leave the negative people to do their thing, they will attract to each other, so become conscious about making your circle that you choose to spend the most time in, with those who inspire and uplift you and share the same values.
