CREATE YOUR VISION FOR LIFE The next few pages are for a fun exercise - To create a picture story of all the
things you ’ d like to achieve, do, and acquire in life - no matter your age. There are so many places to go in search of appropriate images and photos to start creating your vision pages. Start flicking through any
magazines
you may have sitting on a shelf, images & photos on your phone and computer to print out, photo albums etc. Also, you ’ ll find plenty of fabulous ideas at pinterest.com.au . Pinterest is a fabulous online platform where you may just get lost for awhile, so be prepared, and don’ t say I didn ’ t warn you as it is a dreamers paradise to browse through, providing thousands of creative images and ideas to support your visions. Be sure to place an image or two on the pages that stimulate emotions of joy. They could be of loved ones, a baby, a pet, or something you totally enjoy doing. Anything that arouses feelings of happiness is a sure way to encourage the Universe to bring forth your desires sooner rather than
later.
The images that you place on these pages further go to support and
en-
hance your daily practice of focusing in on your Goals, Life Story,
Inten-
tion Statement and Affirmations etc., all of which are offered with
explana-
tion in your Nurturing Planner. Just take a few minutes, preferable 3 times a day; early morning, evening and whenever else you can, to relax and get quiet - to just be Focus in on those images that represent your future ( but be mindful to feel into them as if you were experiencing them now ) . After a few minutes, and after having read through your Intention Statement and Life Story etc., close your eyes and create a visualisation within your mind that brings it all together - basically a mind movie playing out your life story. Enjoy sowing the seeds for your desires. Enjoy getting creative - have fun!

GRATITUDE GRATITUDE SUPPORTS OUR GREATER HEALTH When Life gets busy and so overwhelming it can become so easy to take things for
granted without the full intention to do so. We get caught up running errands, looking after children, being there for others in their time of need - forgoing time for ourselves to stop and smell the beautiful aroma of the roses. There is so much in life to be grateful for, but with our busy schedules and lifestyles , it ’ s no wonder that taking time out for mindful practices can be overwhelming in itself to consider. For our health's sake, we really do need to take stock of what ’ s ultimately, the most important, even if that means scheduling in time to sit down to do so.
When we live in a world where there ’ s not much of a second thought to say ……. turning on a light switch - until the power goes out, turning the key to start the ignition of our car - until it no longer starts, throwing on a pair of shoes as we run out the door for an appointment - only to experience the heal snapping off,
- it ’ s definitely no
wonder that the Universe needs to send us messages and lessons to somehow get us to slow down and - “ Wake Up ” . And until we do so, we are going to be frustrated when random obstacles are thrown our way, not realising why. Actually, taking the time to sit - be present - and BREATHE - can allow for us moving forward, to be much more productive in our day than running around not having time to think with clarity. Planning out some time for ourselves, as mentioned and suggested throughout the pages of this Journal and it ’ s Planner companion, is absolutely vital for our health both our Mind and our Body! Taking time to include particular practices like Mindfulness and Gratitude can and
WILL improve our mental and physical states, if practiced routinely - daily! Gratitude can be practiced just by randomly observing and thinking about what we are grateful for, but it is when we take the time to sit with it in the practice of putting pen to paper, that greater benefits may be experienced.

LIFE REFLECTION Although life should be more about looking and moving forward, just for a moment take this opportunity so revisit some of the experiences of the past that have brought you joy. Allow some time to Create a Happy Place, here on this pages of some of your favourite things. Make a short list of those who you are grateful for and why. Look back on some of your achievements, no matter the size or event. This is just a brief moment to reflect on what most brings you joy. ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 11

Th e se cret o f making something work in our lives is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work, then the faith and belief that it can work, then to hold that clear, definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out
