Create a Visual Family Motivational Board
I seriously can not believe that the year is coming to an end already. It just went by so fast. We are hoping the new year will be kind to us. So at our last family meeting of the year we decided it would be nice to create a Family Motivational Board to help keep us motivated to achieve our goals set for the new year. It was a fun activity to do for kids and adults alike. This is a great activity for all families to do as as a way of growing closer together.
I read about an psychologist who conducted studies on a group of people who completed visual workouts in their heads. He found that it increased muscle strength by 30% which was almost half as much as the participants who went to the gym.
Research also shows that if you visualize something that you want to happen it’s more likely to happen. Now, don’t get me wrong if you visualize going to Italy your not going to go to Italy just because you visualize it you have to visualize as well as act, meaning you much research and save.
Now does that sound like something you would like to do with your family? If it does but your not sure how to start follow these easy steps and you’ll be on your way:
By having the visual motivational board we are hoping that seeing a concrete manifestation of our families dreams we help make them a reality. I instructed my children to think about the upcoming year and pick at the least 3 goals (1 academic, 1 travel and 1 personal). My husband and myself choose 1 work related, 1 travel and 1 personal.
So why should my family have a visual motivational board?
Typically this time of the year everyone starts to set resolutions. So, what can families do to invite abundance into the year ahead? Well, I have read many studies that have shown the power of visualization over and over again.I read about an psychologist who conducted studies on a group of people who completed visual workouts in their heads.
