How to create an empowering vision board for 2015


Happy Wednesday World!




"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision" - Helen Keller

And that is exactly why vision boards have become as popular as red velvet muffins! Mmm... Red. Velvet. Muufiiins.

 Not to kill your buzz, but vision boards are becoming this fantasy land where dreams come true just by wishing it. When I initially watched that movie everyone praises "The Secret", I started thinking about one of their tips, which was to simply create a vision board of the future you so desire, and then take the time to visualize and visualize and visualize... And so I did, but nothing really happened!

 And a plethora of studies are now looking into the law of attraction and visualization. 

 Pham and Taylor (1999) have been studying this phenomenon for almost a decade, and have found, study after study, that the conversion of the vision board to reality is only made possible when visualizing the process and steps to be taken all the while putting in the effort and work. 

 Go figure! You actually have to work for it!

 However, having a visual board will help keep the motivation alive. It's like your mom, starring you in the face and asking "Have you done your homework yet? Have you contacted those journalists? Did you fix that proposal? Have you gone running today? That career won't shine itself, darling!". 

 And now, for la piece du resistance, a video where I share how to create a powerful and useful vision board to place your ongoing goals for 2015 and beyond.

 I can't wait to hear from you! Leave me a comment!

Hello world, it's Dina here! First things first, this project I will be starting has been at the back of my mind for years now. It's been that annoying voice telling you to stop being a whimsy kid and start rolling the ball on what you really want to do a.k.a. Your life calling. These days, technology makes it easy to share whatever passions you may have: be it painting, blogging, singing or dancing, cooking or simply sharing your opinion on recent events- like Miley Cyrus's hammer licking video ( props Miley, atta girl! Your immune system is now stronger). So I've decided to use it and abuse it, just like the rest of us! I used to be anti-Facebook and other social channels because I thought it is a waste of time. My current answer is... It's super healthy in small dosages! Anyways, point is, the only thing that held me back, and I suppose many other people around the world, was fear. Fear of doing what you like and being judged by your family, friends, co-wor

Dads and other great things... Hola amigos! I am officially back in business/Canada/Ontario/Toronto/Joeys- haha! (For those who don't know, Joeys is a Canadian restaurant). Yes, I do like the Eaton location. I know it is not Wednesday, and I don't have a video for you, but I have something more special to celebrate - MY DAD! It's his birthday today, December 1st, and I already bought him a few souvenirs from my trip to California, but the bigger present is in the making, as you are reading. My mom and dad when I was an embryo... If you are a woman, dads can be overprotective, intuitive and sometimes creepy when it comes to prospect (what is considered a good match vs. 'trash' for thy child). This is a given truth, it will never change and the ultimate purpose of it is YOUR happiness, regardless of whether you are a boy or a girl. Figuratively speaking (of course), your dad is this shield ready to take on all sorts of swords, sparrows, bludgeons, and she

The Cayucos Reminisce.... As I am taking in the old books scent inside the Book Bar at The Rex Hotel, San Francisco, I reminisce this morning - November 28, 2013. I think about the first glimpse of sun rays beaming through the closed curtains, my best friend's smile as we ordered our smoothies at the local coffee joint and the ocean breeze tickling my nostrils... Today I felt every second that passed, every muscle fibre I used while climbing on an abandoned cliff and every mile we drove on the highway (with the exception of those that had passed while I dozed off on the passenger seat; I was editing this video while en route - Hello multitasking, and I fell asleep). Amazing things can happen when you travel and see new cities and sights, but most importantly, I think, is the idea of places seeing us, not us seeing places. Twisted? Hear me out! If you think of it from a static point of view, the cities and sights we visit have been there for many years, and will most likely re
