It is almost a full week after the start of 2012....how are you doing with your goals? Me I'm having a little trouble this week getting going so to say. Heading back to work and back to my 4:30 wake-ups has me dragging in the morning. I gave myself a little extra grace this week to get back into things but I am afraid to give myself any more than that. I have been getting in workouts but not with the intensity that I know I need. So tonight I am going to make myself a motivation board and journal.
I have read on a lot of blogs about motivation boards and journals. The person I defer to most is Amanda @ Runninghood. She creates spaces for inspiration and is so creative! I also went poking around on the internet for some descriptions on where to start. EHow Health had a step by step post about making one. Here are some pictures of motivation/inspiration boards I also found:
So this is my project for this weekend! I have a basic notebook that I am going to cover and this afternoon I am going to grab a board and get cracking. With my pile of magazine and the ever addictive Pinterest I am certain I will be ready to roll!
Have you ever made a motivation/inspiration board? What did you focus on? Did it do what yo needed it to do? If you've made a motivation/inspiration board or are making one now I would love for you to send me a picture of it!!! I think it would rock to make a post of everyone's different boards....to celebrate your creativity and motivation! Send them my way at mrscapen14 at yahoo dot com!!!
I don't have a board, but I have a photo of myself that I really like, which motivates me to keep at everything : )
ReplyDeleteSigh. I need to do this. I need to use my Pinterest account too! But alas, it seems like one more thing to add to the plate.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with yours!
So tempted to do an inspiration board. Maybe I will this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these to and need one but I don't usually work out at home, it's always at the gym. I use I could post one up in my office at home and stare at it all day!
ReplyDeleteAhh so great that you are going to do this! I love how it helps me in so many ways. Great to look at when I'm running too...I have one in front of my TM. Happy New Year Nancy. I loved seeing you on Follow That Mother. So deserving. Hope being back at school has been nice. Can't wait to see your finished notebook/collage.
ReplyDeleteI've never done a motivation board. It looks fun though!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! i would love to make one of these as well :) that pink one is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI've never made a motivation board and for me I don't think it's something I would make (I am NOT creative) but I think it's a great idea to help stay on track!
ReplyDeleteI love that you made a collage :) nice job! and that first pic made me laugh...good comics. and mostly true. lol
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to make a motivation board next weekend....now if Only I could get motivated to do it ;)
That's such a great idea! I'm not going to promise that I'll get around to it, but I would love to see a post of everyone's finished products! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to make a vision board for a good year now.
ReplyDeleteOh the irony.
i cant wait to see your mood board, I think its a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI have never made a motivation board, but I did see one on Pinterest lately that I liked! That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's on my to-do list!
ReplyDeleteYour FF link is not a link to you blog. It's to a blog with a post about making a motivation board. Is that what you meant to link up? Do you want me to delete it?
I never heard about a motivation board, but I like it!!
ReplyDeleteIn order to keep track of my goals I take 1 minute in the morning and write in my journal what my goals are for today. In the evening I review and love to check off :) Btw, I carry the journal with me, so I can sneak in and check what still needs to be done. So far it works for me :)
I made one! Here's the link to it. http://www.undeterrable.com/my-roadmap/
ReplyDeleteI love making these :)
The first week back is always tough! I have made boards in the past, and recently made a poster of my fav inspiring women athletes because i was feeling a little "un"motivated! Good luck!
