Lately I have been drawn towards words. I have always loved words and have noticed that I have been including them in my inspiration boards more and more. They keep me focused.
For my inspiration board I use, I just picked up a cheap pin board from IKEA. I think it was $12 and I sit it by my computer where I blog and write. For this board I sat down and cut out any images that I liked. I had no theme in mind, just pretty things and wanted a collection that would make me smile.
I have been using this one for a while. It has uplifted me many times and during the week I noticed something wonderful. See below:
{Gosh! I miss Notebook magazine}
Does the above image look familiar???
I think they really do work!!
If you don't believe me go and ask Stacey, from Sunny Mummy.
Here are her instructions for making your own: HERE.
I am now creating a new inspiration board.
One that is full of goals and dreams.
More specific, more focused and more fun!
Have YOU ever made an inspiration board???
Have YOU ever noticed it worked for you???

Oh I feel your Notebook pain! I am truly mourning this magazine :-(
ReplyDeleteI have used vision boards for sometime now and they are fantastic. I have different ones for different things and it has been amazing to see what has come into my life that's on them.
ReplyDeleteThey are great for lifting your spirits and helping you focus on goals.
I'm thinking I should start a vision board. Maybe then I would work out what I want to be if I grow up. LOL
ReplyDeleteNaomi, I miss Notebook magazine too. It was pretty much the only one I bought.
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenter, have been enjoying your blog for some time now. Will be sure to be back.
I haven't made an inspiration board before, but the site pinterest is quite similar, I love to add things to that site.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The whole wall behind my computer is a vision board. Een though I'm a word girl, I really like being surrounded by inspiring or meaningful or just plain pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteAh, Naomi, I miss my Notebook, too. Immensely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your board - it's so *you*.
As you know, I recently made a board (http://www.lifeonplanetbaby.com/2011/03/creating-my-first-mood-board-sneak-peek.html) and have been staggered by how much it moved and inspired both me and others. I've now had it blown up into a huge poster which I'm going to frame and hang up in 'my' room once we've moved house. I can't wait! J x
I'm also a sad loser in the notebook: game. It was such a good read. A bit wimpy at times, but some good stuff in there. And pretty... look at that lovely image you have there! What a nice reminder.
ReplyDeleteI love a mood board. I make them accidentally here and there just because i blue-tac stuff on the wallls wherever I go. It's pathological. x
I love inspirations boards and always have at least one at any given time, though I don't update them nearly as often as I should.
ReplyDeleteSo great at keeping inspiration alive :)
xx
Hi Naomi,
ReplyDeleteI have followed you over from AMB. I too miss Notebook!!! There's not another magazine like it.
I haven't created an inspiration board, but maybe I should...as I could do with some inspiration when writing my blog. :-)

ReplyDeleteLovely to find some other Notebook lovers out there. I so hope they bring it back one day :(
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of having one for different reasons and especially love the idea of having a blog inspiration board. Now that would be fun. N x
Oh totally a believer in these (yours are stunning!)
ReplyDeleteI made one years ago, and it has all come true so far - except having a really fun job, which I'm working on with Fox In Flats!
I love your inspiration board. I'm thinking I'm needing to do one. (I even have an IKEA pin board somewhere!)
ReplyDeleteI recently put up on the white wall along the entrance hall, all the words which represent our family. Words like..dance, believe,laugh...to name a few. The words are in white..so it kinda looks embossed on the wall. ( if that makes sense) :)It makes me smile when I look at it. :)
Yes, I made an inspiration board just last week & will hopefully blog about it soon! They are excellent for keeping you posted on your goals. Yours is very beautiful, you have quite the artistic eye.

I love that many of you have inspiration boards already. I look forward to checking them out on your blog when you post about them and Jo I love that you put inspiring words up in your entrance way. What a wonderful thing to remember when you leave the house and to see when you come home. N x
ReplyDeleteI love inspiration boards and have started many of them. I need a "finish projects" inspiration board! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of my inspiration thoughts during my walks in the bush....my problem is I have too many inspirations...and I do not think I will achieve them in my lifetime.......ahhhhh I think I have to stop dreaming! xxx Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this post Naomi. Amazingly, I've just posted about the "power of words" on my blog! Great minds think alike, haha!! I think your inspiration board is a work of art...I must create one myself now - it looks fun & therapeutic. Thanks for sharing xo
ReplyDeletenever had one but have thought about making one many times - maybe it's time i took the plunge, i have ALOT of things i want to achieve in this life, no better time to get started is there?
ReplyDelete~x~
I haven't made one before for myself but I think I might as you have really inspired me.
ReplyDeleteI have used something similar when planning parties that inspire me though.
