I called in sick on Monday…

I work part time for a psychiatric hospital and lately I have felt like I am constantly fighting some illness off.  I was attributing echinacea and green juice for keeping me from getting sick but I was also getting a little resentful of my body. “Why won’t you just stay well!?”  It was feeling, and still is to some extent, like I was always going to battle with my body.  I was determined for my mind and energy to win out.  I know I have been more stressed at work lately and that is never a good recipe for staying healthy.  There have been several days that I wanted to stay home but felt guilty or obligated to go in.  I took a good look at those feelings and realized that was not contributing to my wellness either.  Guilt and obligation are pretty low ranking on the vibrational scale.  So, I took the day off to rest and take care of myself.

I made a vision board!!!  I got some construction paper, magazines, scissors and a glue stick and went to town to set intention for what I want in life.  The universe is always listening so I set aside the stress, guilt and obligation and opened my mind and body to all the abundance I know is already mine.  With the help from some inspiration on manifesting from Carmen Marshall I set out to get clear about what I want.  Carmen talks a bit about this but I also incorporated the brilliant teachings of Danielle LaPorte in not only setting goals for things you want in life but most importantly focusing on how you want to FEEL!

My vision board turned out quite nicely and I sure had fun making it.  I haven’t figured out where I will display it yet but I look forward to the daily reminder to take action on what I want and how I want to feel.  I’m actually feeling it already…. 🙂
