How to Make a GREEN Vision Board by Joyce Schwarz author THE VISION BOARD book

Okay, now's the surprise-- all vision boards are really green and eco-friendly because they are really recycling magazines! Kewl huh?

One of the most eco-friendly ways to celebrate Earth Day with your family, office mates and school class is to create a Vision Board.


HOW to create an eco-friendly vision board to celebrate EARTH DAY!

Blogger note, during the past few months, one of the most requested posts on this author's Amazon.com blog has been "how to create an eco-friendly vision board. So I've repeated and updated this step-by-step post in celebration of Earth Day 2009. ENJOY!

RECYCLING ASSOCIATIONS DOING VISION BOARDS WITH JOYCE SCHWARZ, speaker and author, Good news, Joyce Schwarz, author,being contacted by various recycling organizations and foundation to set up workshops across the nation to show why creating Vision Boards is eco-friendly.

CARBON NEUTRAL:

First we want to assure that the book itself --208 page, 4-color throughouts, hard cover, 100 color pix IS "carbon neutral". A quick check online shows that News Corps, who owns Collins Desing, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishing does buy eco-offset credits

REMIX: RECYCLING MAGAZINES & OTHER PRINT MATERIALS
Be assured by creating Vision Boards using images from old magazines and other printed material such as direct mail flyers, invitations, posters, wallpaper and even newspaper clippings, you ARE RECYCLING!

There are several regional and national programs organized just to recycle magazines (more on those later, especially the ones from the MPA (Magazine Publishers Assn) and the City of New York.

SO TO START CREATING AN ECO-FRIENDLY VISION BOARD:
A) Gather old magazines, newspapers, printed materials including greeting cards, cartoons from newspapers, grocery circulars and catalogs in a large basket.

B) Be sure if you purchase any new background paper or materials that they are recycled too. Recycled posterboard is available but you may want to create your board using such eco-friendly materials as flax or organic cotton fabrics or even the back of old paintings or posters you already have on your wall--continuing the recycling circle.

C) Gather up found objects, paperclips, broken jewelry, ribbons from a birthday party or wedding shower, stamps and stickers from envelopes (you can re-attach with a glue stick later)

D) Be sure any paints or marker pens you use are also eco-friendly. In fact considering buying a whole pack of these and sharing them with your neighbors so that they can create an eco-friendly board too!

Or use natural materials. I've seen vision boards created with charcoal, withwaters colored by natural herbs & flowers and almost water-painted onto the board.

Or even consider painting (with eco-friendly paints) a large bolder or old board you find near your garage

E) Consider making your own recycled hand-made paper from old paper --the back of old posters, the back of leftover wallpaper or even on the back of an old awning or window shade!

F) If you're framing your board, be sure to recycle an old frame that you have in your house or garage or to pick one up at a flea market or thrift store in your neighborhood.
Examples include:


I recycle everything I can.

I am recycling my kitchen scraps too now.

I turn off the water when I brush my teeth.

I have a filter for my tap water.

I am simplifying my life.

I buy only what I absolutely need to live.

I make my footsteps on earth as light as they can be.

I recycle for others when I see an opportunity.

I make sure what I buy is carbon-neutral.

Pictures for your eco-board.

One of the fun ways to get the right pictures for your eco board is to make a list of those pix you'd like to see on the board such as: a) a home garden you are planting b) a method of composting you are starting in your group/family c) Past pictures of your family in the outdoors -- climbing or hiking or enjoying the earth at places you've visited --yes, even if they are near and part of your home town area. They don't have to be at an exotic location

TRAVEL -- another option is to gather some travel brochures at your local travel agency or from the travel section of your newspaper or favorite website and put those on the board planning on where you'd like to visit that IS eco-friendly

G) Gather the raw materials together. Spread out an old blanket or tablecloth to cover the creation area (a table or an area of a floor or even do it outside on your patio).

H) Begin by making a list with your group of the Eco affirmations they would like to keep in the next year and for the rest of their lives!

SAY YES TO LIFE WITH A VISION BOARD by Joyce Schwarz, author The Vision Board book

*SCROLL DOWN TO SEE 5 NO COST TIPS TO SAY YES TO LIFE TODAY!

Here are 5 NO COST WAYS TO SAY AND "SHOW" YES to the world even before you make your vision board:

1) Go to the park and take a ride on a swing -- go ahead act the age of your shoe size? Ever heard that before --my shoe size is 8 -- so I get to be an 8 year old anytime I want!

2)Eat dessert first! I just found out that October 28 --the launch date of The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life is NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY! Ymmm so I'm taking this opportunity to remind you to eat your dessert first that day -- it's only 19 days away! A little bit of dark chocolate is full of anioxidents so go ahead splurge every day with a bite or two of the most decadent chocolate you can find!

3) Put on your happy cap if you're having a bad hair day. I always keep a few of my favorite baseball caps with fun logos hanging as decorations in one of my closets! When I'm feeling a bit down -- I ALWAYS wear my sequineed black and silver baseball cap and I take it on trips around the world-- even on a ride on an Arabian horse in Petra, Jordan!

NO MORE BAD HAIR DAYS! Okay -- we'll have to get some SHARE THE VISION baseball caps to tie in with our website www.ihaveavision.org! More on that later.
4) Share a compliment-- say something nice today to someone you DON'T KNOW -- if life is a little cloudy-- I always make sure that I give a compliment or two to someone I see in a store or even in a parking lot.

It's easy --and yes, you can be sincere -- after all -- most people love to be told that their car is a beautiful color or that their T shirt is so much fun or that you love that gorgeous Olive green handbag that the senior you see at the post office is carrying.

You'll be amazed how much it perks you up!

5) CALL A PAL you haven't talked to in a few months or even a few years. Ask them the questions about their life and family -- be a good listener, don't spoil the moment by dragging them down with your own doldrums! Remind them of a couple of fun things you did together.

That's a great way to open the call --start by saying "remember the time we did....."
Now make a list of all of the great things you appreciate in your life and all of the great people and take some pictures of them or go through a magazine and begin to place them on a vision board.

What's a vision board? Most of you know a vision board is a visual map or depiction of how you'd like to live your best life possible and a way to pay tribute to the wonderful things you have and are creating in your life.

Take a poster board or a blank journal and paste some of these YES images in your journal or on your board. And add affirmations that remind you that you are grateful for what IS yes in you life and what will add more YES to your life in the future. Speak in the present tense (not the future) I am grateful for the wonderful home I have on a hill in the forest! YES I have that home now! See it experience it.
ADD MORE YES TO YOUR LIFE TODAY!

It's time to Re-vision 2009 Do a new Vision Statement & Vision Board!

by Joyce A. Schwarz, www.ihaveavision.org and www.visionboard.info


At this time of the year, many of us are looking at what a great summer you had and maybe looking forward sheepishly to the end of the year because you have not accomplished what you hoped for.

That's why I recommend that you do a quarterly check up on your Vision Statement and Vision Board. I do mine at the start of each season: Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring etc.
The most important tools to guide you through the transitions of each year are a Vision Statement and a Vision Board.
What am I talking about? A vision statement is a vivid, idealized description of the outcome that you want. Something that inspires ... energizes you, and helps you create a mental image of your target.
My personal vision statement is short and sweet “TO LIVE THE POSSIBLE DREAM”, a positive spin on Don Quixote’s famous “Live the Impossible Dream”.
Some of you may be familiar with corporate mission statements or company mantras but all too often those come from the Ivory towers and are issued via memo.

Vision statements are much more personal – the concept started from the grass roots and spread across the world by people who want to realize their own personal talents and ensure that their life matches their values.

USE TO ENHANCE YOUR LIFE...and visualize the future: A vision statement can be used to enhance any part of your life, like family or career. It could also be created to visualize a new home or a specific project.

Here are some tips for creating your own vision statement:

*Summarize your vision in a powerful statement (1-4 sentences)

*Make sure it stands the test of time (think ballpark vs. small details)
*Suspend disbelief—anything is possible!

*Follow up with ‘inspired action’ (specific steps toward your vision)

*Post it somewhere you can see it daily (and update it quarterly)

*Consider starting with a wish list or bucket list of your dreams.

*Start with a sentence or two and pare it down to a short phrase

*Pick a power word like freedom and craft your vision around that word.

Where to get your inspiration for your vision?

Give a new spin to a classic song you love.
Rearrange an advertising phrase to inspire you.

See a favorite movie one more time.
Refer to a favorite quotation
Recite your favorite poem, it may offer a hint or two
Once you craft your vision statement here are some ways to use it to inspire you to create your create your best possible holiday season and lead into a new year to remember.
Post it where you can see it daily.
Carry a copy of it in your wallet or handbag.
Add it to your vision board.

Print it on the back of your business cards.

Use the power words in your new vision statement to update our current vision board or create a new vision board just for this upcoming season ie Summertime!

Multiple Streams of Income With Vision Board by Joyce Schwarz, www.visionboard.info

Thriving is a mind/body challenge . Most multiple entrepreneurs (who run several businesses at once will tell you the value of multiple income streams. The challenge is walking the talk and keeping your antenna up for great income opportunities that will help you make money while you sleep.

Many of you combine different skill sets in a portfolio that enables you to create what an income pie where various slices of that pie come from different income sources. In this article, you'll find updates for this new crossroads in our economy.

One of the keys to thriving and not surviving is to envision your future in advance. To not just get by but to create the life you really want now-- even if it seems impossible and your bank account is low or nil and you are facing what seems like enormous challenges.
Here are some key tips:

What's the future hold for your career/job or business? In this economy that is a real challenge to answer for many of you. BUT the insight you get in this article will guide you well toward creating the income you need to thrive not just survive!

The key to your future and to our economy's challenges may just be simple -- redesign the workspace/workplace and redefine the word WORK and CAREER which are thousands of years old -- and lag behind the opportunities in the 21st Century.

It sure ain't your grandfather's workplace. In fact it's vital that you know that okay to do more than just one thing in life.

A Wealth and Well-being Vision Board enables you to explore that many options for income creation --from artist to zoologist.

Can you say A.W.E?

One example of an abundance vision board that you may have seen online is a concept collage that combines ancient Mandala symbols with an updated version of visioning to show the future vision of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs launching new ventures.

Where are the opportunities? What sectors are the hottest? Many leaders now involved in the wellness revolution --sees great opportunity in AWE -- Abundance, Wellness and Enlightenment and are beginning to tap into the $12.5 Billion dollar personal growth industry.

IT SURE AIN'T YOUR GRANDPA's ECONOMY TODAY!

Many of you feel guilty because you were raised to revere your grandpa's gold watch that he got at his retirement dinner and you went to the office with your mom on TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER TO WORK DAY...you still see creating income as getting a paycheck.

Have your own business? For many of you a business or being an entrepreneur has resulted in just creating your own JOB or work that provides you just enough to get by. The new boss you have-- called Y-O-U is even tougher than many of the ones you had when you were working 9-5.

THAT'S WHY THE REAL ANSWER to financing your lifestyle (that's what I like to call the next-gen of what we used to call work or jobs) is MULTIPLE INCOME STREAMS.

Income that comes from a) a day job or some ongoing source of income -- it may not pay all your bills but you can depend on it-- maybe a contract with your former company, a part-time gig you take at the local retailer.

That's just the start-- from there you can create multiple income streams from such opportunities as:

a) Turn your hobby into cash -- if you own a boat-- consider giving sailing lessons. Even if you don't a pal of yours can probably get you into the local yacht club to give a workshop or two that people pay for.

b) Monetize your talents and hobbies. Whether you're a sailing fan or an artist or a natural foods follower, you can actually make money from your own talents and hobbies. . Everyone is creative-- if you love to write or you yearn to create art or you scribble out poems that are worthy of being on a greeting card - now is the time to join the online merchants evolution (note evolution not revolution). If you are an expert sailor, teach sailing. If you know natural foods, offer to shop for your neighborhood and charge them a service fee.

A popular concept called PRINT ON DEMAND (POD) enables you to post your project to sites like Amazon's Create Space and others where you can sell prints of your artwork or try www.etsy.com where you can see handmade handicrafts so gorgeous it may bring a tear to your eye.

C) Be an affiliate for someone else who has their own artwork, or written creations to promote. Go ahead start today and become an Amazon Associate-- you can list

D) Become an Amazon merchant -- got more than one book to sell -- well then head over and start an Amazon merchant account for as little as $19.95 per month. You can add books to any mix of products or services that you sell.

E) Look into direct selling opportunities and in 'cloning' yourself and your website with your own reps, and affiliates around the world.
Multiple income streams can be as simple as adult in your extended family 'repping' the other person's products or services. Carry a handful of business cards for your colleagues and pals. Work out a finder's fee for when they get business from a referral by you and do the same for them. The standard is 10 percent of the first month's revenues referred to them by you. See wasn't that simple?
