Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction says: "We achieve what we conceive and believe".

In other words you first need to dream, then you need to believe that you will achieve your dream from the depths of your soul and then you will achieve your dreams.

I highly recommend you get your child started on creating their own
‘Vision Board’

So what is a ‘vision board’?

Okay, a vision board is a board that you create a collage on with pictures, drawings of the different goals that your child would like to achieve or have.

They can hang this on their wall in their bedroom somewhere where they will see it on a regular basis.

I suggest hanging it in front of their desk or even attach it to their ceiling above their beds. If they have their own bathrooms then I suggest hanging their visionboard opposite their toilet so that while they visit this important room on a continuous basis they can digest their vision.

Here are some steps on how to help your child create his or her own vision board:

Plan a special time to sit down as a family.
Have each family member make a list of all the goals they would like to achieve or have or be. Here are some questions that may help your child to come up with some of his or her visions:

What kind of house would you like to live in?
What kind of car would you like to drive?
What kind of clothes would you like to wear?
What places would you like to visit?
Would you like to have a private jet or space ship?
What kind of boat would you like to have?
Who would you like to meet?
Who are the people you would like to hang out with?
What about your body, how healthy would you like to be?
Are there any sports you would like to be good at?
Are you interested in the arts, is there anything that you would like to achieve there?
What kind of person would you like to be? Would you like to be more confident? - Would you like to be more kind?
How much money would you like to be earning every month, automatically?
Which charities would you like to make a huge impact on?
How many children would you like to have?
How many and what kind of pets would you like to own?
What does your future spouse look like and what kind of character is he/she?

Now get some old magazines or look online for photos (just make sure to set the search engine to ’safe search’ mode first before asking for any photos or else you may have your child seeing photos that you would otherwise not like them to see.) I recommend using www.google.com or www.flickr.com.
Let your child have some fun being creative and encourage them to dream BIG!
Now choose a spot to hang the board where your child is most likely to see it many, many times a day.
Every morning have a look at your child's vision board and go over their goals by having them say out loud,

“I am so happy and grateful now that I have ....built my dream house.... and/or....filled my closet with the most beautiful clothes....and/or....I am the best player on my school's baseball team....helped 50 people on my favourite charity by giving them the opportunity to eat healthy food....etc.”

The key is to have them say it as if they have already accomplished their goals and dreams.

They need to make their subconscious minds believe that their goals have already been achieved to make it become a reality. No one is ever successful until they absolutely believe from the depths of their souls that they are a success already!

It's amazing how this simple vision board can make your child's dreams a reality.

It serves as a constant reminder of why they are doing what they are doing to achieve their dreams. It will help them keep their focus when the rough days approach.

I highly recommend that you also create your own vision board.

Being a role model really makes a huge impact on your child. They will take their vision boards much more seriously if you also have one. And it's fun to see your dreams as if they have already happened!

I recently found an Australian website, www.CreateYourOwnMindMovie.com, that have created a system for you to make your vision boards turn into a movie that really makes your dreams come to life!

I have used them to create my own mind movie which I watch every morning
when I wake up and every evening before I go to bed. The movies use moving
photos and emotional music that really bring your dreams to your heart centre.

As you can see in my mind movie above, I created that one for my whole family, my kids love seeing their new bedrooms and are constantly asking me to watch our mind movie.

My 6 year old daughter has even come up with a business plan because she wants to have a water bed, so she's decided to start up her own face painting business to pay for it!

The power of the law of attraction and the usage of vision boards and mind movies is absolutely incredible.

Have fun, and let me know how successful your own vision board and mind movie become!
