Write Yourself A Vision Letter
Happy New Year! As we embark on this new year, it’s fun and exciting to think about all the things we hope to accomplish.
What will you look back on and be able to say, “Great job- I’m really proud of myself!” about?
What do you want to tackle this year? Are there goals you’d like to achieve, habits you’d like to make, adventures you’d love to take?
On a piece of paper, write down your top 1-5 goals that you’d like to accomplish this year.
This week your challenge is to supercharge our goals and turn them into reality! This exercise might feel a strange at first but do it anyway!
Take a few minutes to think about how amazing you’ll feel as you accomplish each thing on your list. Really let yourself feel it all: proud, happy, grateful, amazed, fulfilled – all of it!
Now, write yourself a letter, dated Dec. 31, 2019, congratulating yourself on each and every one of your accomplishments.
Tell yourself exactly why you’re proud of yourself for each one, and go into detail about how it has improved the quality of your life.
Studies show that when we put emotion behind our intentions, we’re more apt to make them a reality.
Put your letter somewhere you can read it on a regular basis (even daily!) so that you remind yourself of what each accomplishment means to you.
First, are you in for this challenge!? If you are, let me know in a comment below! Also, once your write your letter, please share with us one of your biggest takeaways!

Vision Board Challenge
Let’s start the New Year off right and with INTENTION. Time to get creative!
Have you ever heard of a vision board?! Whether you said yes or no- your challenge this week is to MAKE ONE!
So what is a vision board?
A vision board is basically a board (made out of poster or cork) where you post meaningful pictures or words that represent goals, attributes, or things you would like to attract and work towards in your life.
I believe in being proactive rather than reactive in your life. Part of that means you have to FIRST know what you WANT!
Once you know that… you can move forward toward your goals.
Your vision board will serve as a source of inspiration. It’s there to keep you focused, motivated, and to recharge you with positive energy.
The one rule of creating a proper vision board is this: ANYTHING is allowed and there are no limitations! Just open your mind and don’t let anything hold you back.
Here’s how to create your vision board:
- Pick out your board: cork board, poster board, pin board, etc.
- Next, get markers, stickers, a glue stick, scissors, and a lot of magazines that you love.
- Next, cut and paste words or pictures from the magazines of quotes, sayings, or affirmations that you love, places you want to visit, and images that reflect your personal or professional goals … basically anything you want for yourself or in your life – as long as it represents something meaningful and important to you.
- Once you’re happy with your vision board, place it somewhere that you’ll see it every day!
So- are you up for living 2017 with INTENTION and creating your vision board this week?
If yes, let me know and feel free to post a pic of your vision board once it’s complete!
Yours in good health,
