Of Endings and Beginnings

I've been feeling the blues and it's been going on for a while now (severe depression which has been on and off since 2012). I was pretty ok last half of 2013. The NLP / Neurolinguistic Programming sessions I took in September helped a lot. In a way, the emotional baggage I've been bringing with me since I was a kid got healed somehow. Plus the non-stop travels I did the past two years did a lot of good to my psyche. 

The non-stop hopping from place to place was tiring, yes, and I was welcoming the rest I will be having from these trips come February, my birthday month which was last month, the only time I got to rest from my travels since January 2012. 

Fun, fun Feb, my birthday month!

Everything was going great; I was looking forward to celebrating my 36th birthday at home despite all the emotional trials I've been going through... until something hit me hard and since then I was never the same. :( :( :(

Building a New Vision Board

As I was reviewing Jack Canfield's Success Principle #7, which I blogged about in KickingPinay.blogspot.com, Unleash the Power of Goal Setting, I took notice of my 12 year old vision board which I started building when I was just in college, the same time that I discovered Oprah. I actually first learned about this whole thing from her, and with the help of my course, AB Psychology, in Ateneo, I was on my way to healing my broken psyche and building wonderful dreams.

Moving forward, it's been more than a decade and everything on that vision board has already come true as I mentioned in my previous post. Yet, it's still this particular vision board that greets me every time I enter my office.  It's located on a side wall, just above my computer, so it's really hard to miss. It's no wonder that I get more of the same every year and I'm not complaining.

However, perhaps it's about time that I make a new vision board with images of things, places, situations that I want to come true / I want to go to / I want to have.

If you're also journeying towards a better you, a better life, a better new year for you, join me in this process. Let's take some time this weekend, maybe this Saturday, to stop, sit down, and meditate on the things that we really want to happen and have in our lives. Is it good health? Is it the ability to overcome certain fears? Is it to travel the world? Is it to finally get that job you want? Or maybe letting go of your current job and pursuing your real passion? Or maybe you want lots and lots of money, or a brand new home and car? Whatever it is, jot it all down. Then gather images that will convey all these goals you have for yourself.
