Top 3 Magazines for Vision or Dream Boards - MY PICKS

Tired of thumbing through ads when looking for great pictures? I have three suggestions but you might not want to cut into these because they're not cheap and filled with so many beautiful images. I'm starting with a new favorite...

1. Happinez a magazine that focuses on peace, tranquility and authenticity. Its publication feels more like something you would want to collect. Price $17+

2. The Simple Things is filled with images that say so much from food to features its all here. I also liked the typography :)$9+  

3. Private Island is everything your traveling mind needs to wonder into the realm of "possibilities." It features islands for sale or rent and this is the perfect magazine for your dream board. $14+

Speaking of "Travel" check out TCV's episode on #TravelCreatively

#OutdoorCreative, Get Out & Boost!

Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring is inevitable. Especially if you live away from the equator but there's a gem of inspiration just waiting for you. All you have to do is "Get out doors."

We're spending too much time looking down and not up. Checking our phones and gadgets is a constant tick in the culture of instant, plastic and now-gratification.  

What can we do... because we know that living that way is not beneficial. There's only one remedy, "Turn off your gadget and go outside." Breathe and greet the day. Try it :)

#IntuitionRocks with The Creative View

Since March 3, 2015 I've been hashing trending thoughts with a few creatives on Google+ hangouts. Each time it get's better and the conversations are full of "aha" moments. This particular session was about intuition and how to recognize it in your life.

#IntuitionRocks YouTube

Grace's signature "Hmmm" look that usually get's me thinking. She has such deep insight. 

TCV isn't complete without Kiala's water. Every session she shares insight about it's importance in our lives. <3

Of course I have some sort of tea but my favorite thing to share is a different mug during our meet-ups.

I try to add an art journal page after our sessions. This one is from a previous burst of inspiration. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 30 - Keep moving to live better :)

Last day! Now don't get too excited because it's only the beginning. We started a self discovery and wellness challenge about twenty-nine days ago and today marks it's completion. 

It was the intention of art journaling everyday and sticking to the iLove Pledge of wellness. Everyday participants jumped onto the blog to read the prompt, get inspiration and learn something new. 

The best part is that you can revisit the #iLoveTBC (i Love Total Body Challenge) when ever you choose. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 28 - Write into your future.

Have you ever written a message "into" your future. It's an amazing process of the sub-conscience dancing with self determination. The idea is to write a letter to yourself outlining your "projected" accomplishments. 

In other words you are writing your "present" goals as if they already happened. Then you date it and schedule a time to re-read it in the future.
(Example: I want to eat healthy and loose 40pounds. My letter would say, "I'm proud of reaching my goal and fitting into my new smaller jeans. Best of all I eat clean 80% of the time and have cut back on sugars." Written April - Reread July.)

Special recording #ManifestingSelf

This process only works if you schedule a time to revisit your letter of determination. I found it helpful to schedule a reminder on my phone. You can determine the length of time. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 27 - Celebrate don't tolerate.

Having the "End" in mind is a good habit because it teaches us to be mindful of the journey. I truly hope that you are planning a BIG PARTY after your 30-Days. Don't just tolerate the fact that you tried something new. Celebrate your steps toward self-discovery and wellness.

How you celebrate is completely up to you. So be original and have fun planning a way to commemorate the occasion. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 26 - Do you have a symbol?

Symbols are a powerful representation of what we believe. It doesn't take words to express the idea behind the design. Think about how you shop and the way you choose your products. You look at the packaging or a familiar symbol.

Create your own symbol :) Chances are that you already have one. Maybe you wear a hummingbird pendant or have the infinity sign tattooed on your arm. Today try to doodle your very own personal symbol.

Wrap your symbol with the intention of love and prosperity. Let it remind you of your brilliance and just keep moving. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 25 - How to create simple affirmations to support your goals.

Like everything else that is shared here I prefer to answer the, "What is it?" And "Why do I need it?" 

What is an affirmation?

It's support or encouragement to affirm something. This can be written or memorized. 

Why do I need it?

We all need encouragement. The end. (Ahhh... but there's more.)

Watch the YouTube video #FailuresNotEnough then make your own affirmation. (New episodes are recorded on Tuesday's so don't forget to subscribe.) 

How to create your own affirmation.

• Think about three strong and positive emotions you feel.
• Write them down.
• Now build a sentence with those words.
• Keep it simple and with one thought unless the words flow together. (Like live, laugh, love.) 

Bad example: I know that I can run every day, do 100 squats and Zumba®   with Ho'o five times a week.  

1. There's zero emotions involved. Needs heart.
2. Too many things happening.
3. A bit unrealistic to real life situations.

Good example: I will move with intention daily.

#iLoveTBC , Day 24 - How to create sacred space.

Before I share with you how to create sacred space I have three reasons why you need one.

1. When life get's chaotic this space with help to keep you sane.
2. It's a physical representation of inner-peace.
3. Let's face it, we need it.

I have three different approaches to creating sacred space. It's the Simple Chic , Way of Peace or Great Escape.

Simple Chic

• Get a beautiful tray.
• Place one (1) focus object & two (2) balance items. This combination can be a picture with two candles. Maybe a small statue and two plants.
• This area must remain dust & clutter free. You can not place keys, mail or anything other then the three (3) items. 

Way of Peace

• This will be on a credenza or side table. (I have one in my hall-way thus the name.)
• There will be five (5) objects in this presentation. Same as above plus two (2) which is a table runner and a mirror. The table runner will add flow and color for the three (3) items. Then place the mirror behind as a reflection point. *Tip: You can frost one positive word onto your mirror.
• This space must also remain dust & clutter free. 

Great Escape

• An entire room or garden. This will be a lot more work to create but it's worth it.
• Add elements that give you energy & joy. Keep it to a minimum because you don't want to have too much stuff.
• Set up a place to recline & reflect.
• This space is reserved for special "Me" time.
• Finally, it must remain dust & clutter free. *Tip: Music or water features are perfect for this space. 

credenza credenza |krəˈdenzə| nouna sideboard or cupboard.ORIGIN late 19th cent.: Italian, from medieval Latin credentia (see credence) .

#iLoveTBC , Day 23 - Meditate to be courageous.

Sometimes you have to dig deep and find the courage to follow through. Sure, we're all good a having big ideas or starting a 30-day challenge but what does it take to finish strong. I believe that it takes courage. 

Watch the 1-Minute Meditation and doodle or write a few images that come to mind. It's just one minute, you can hold back the sun for a moment of stillness. 

It takes courage to...

• Re-frame your thinking.
• Add positive thoughts.
• Build new thought patterns.
• Step AWAY from the things that will cause you to fall.
• Step AWAY from the people that will cause you to fall.
• To believe that you are meant to grasp happiness and own it.
• Finish what you started.
• Stop giving into distractions.
• Ask for "Help" when you need support to reach your goal.

PEACE be the Journey.
