✨ Vision Board Workshop 2 Completed! ✨
Over the weekend, Paula Taylor of Paula Taylor Energy and I hosted another incredible workshop where we blended the art and science of manifestation to help you create and achieve your future goals.
During the workshop, we explored how to integrate the VIA Character Strengths Survey with my four-stage approach to personal development, combined with esoteric and mystical practices. We focused on four key elements: Aspiration, Inspiration, Intention, and of course, Manifestation. ✨
We started by delving into the VIA Character Strengths Survey—an essential tool in positive psychology that highlights the core virtues and character strengths that lead to a fulfilling life. By identifying their top five signature strengths, we helped participants align their goals with their authentic selves, ensuring they were both meaningful and achievable.
Next, we concentrated on the five strengths of the head—Curiosity, Creativity, Love of Learning, Perspective, and Judgment—cognitive strengths that are vital for effective goal-setting. These strengths guided us in exploring possibilities, assessing feasibility, and ensuring that our goals were well-grounded in reality.
Understanding that imagining bold, ambitious goals can sometimes be more challenging than accepting our current reality, we addressed how to resolve this internal conflict before taking meaningful action. With a strong foundation of Awareness and Acceptance, we guided participants into the deeper stages of change.
For those who couldn’t attend, don’t worry! You can still embark on your own journey of personal manifestation with our Design Your Destiny Vision Board Workbook.
This comprehensive guide allows you to create a powerful vision board at your own pace, from the comfort of your home. AND you will be able to joing our private facebook group where I uploaded the 17 minute talk we did in the workshop to get everyone started!

🚫🗣️ Overthinking your Life? 🗣️🚫
Negative self-talk can sabotage your efforts to make positive changes in your life. If negativity dominates your mind, it will wear you down and convince you not to give your best effort. 💭🔄
🧠 Applied Positive Psychology points out that it's just as easy to focus on "what's going right" as it is to dwell on "what's going wrong." Today, pay close attention to your self-talk and the words you use to describe your experiences. 🌟
❌ Words to Watch Out For:
I Should, Ought, Have To, Can't, Won't, Must, If Only...., Yes, But..., What if... These often come from irrational beliefs (cognitive distortions). 🌀
🚫 Negative Beliefs to Challenge:
I can't change—this is just the way I am.
This must work!! I have to make this work.
I must always do well.
I should be loved and approved by everyone.
Life should be easier.
🌈 Research on Happiness shows it's not just about money, time, health, or circumstances. Your mindset plays a huge role—about 50% of your happiness! 💡
If negative thinking is holding you back, it can trap you in a vicious cycle of depression or anxiety or simply procrastinating. By changing your mindset, you can achieve amazing things. 💪✨
📈 Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset:
Growth Mindset: "I can learn over time."
Fixed Mindset: "I can't change; that's just the way I am."
Obstacles are often the path to growth, character development, and achievement. They are opportunities to practice skills that will help you grow. 🌱
👣 Take the Next Best Step: Dispute irrational, self-limiting thoughts and take intelligent action—actions most likely to lead to success. 🎯
📝 Actions to Increase Happiness:
Expressing Gratitude 🙏
Cultivating Optimism 🌞
Avoiding Overthinking and Social Comparison 🛑
Practicing Acts of Kindness 💖
Nurturing Social Relationships 👥
Developing Strategies for Coping 🧘♂️
Learning to Forgive 💌

🌞✨ Golden Ball Qigong for the Vision Board Workshop! ✨🌞
As we bask in the longest day of the year, it's the perfect time to align our energies and manifest our dreams.
Join us in our vision board workshop where we blend the powerful breathing techniques of Golden Ball Qigong with the breathwork of aspiration, inspiration, and intention to bring our visions to life. 🧘♀️
💫 Aspiration as a Universal Energy:
Begin by identifying your deep-seated desires and long-term goals. Aspiration acts as an intrinsic guide, pointing you toward your highest potential and setting the stage for inspiration.
💭 Clarify Your Vision:
Reflect on your values, passions, and dreams to create a clear vision of what you want to achieve. This vision serves as the foundation for your journey.
2. Tapping into Inspiration:
🎨 Engage in Creative Activities:
Activities such as writing, painting, or creating a vision board can serve as conduits for inspiration. These practices help you connect with your inner desires and the divine source of creativity.
💡 Stay Open to Insights:
Be receptive to moments of inspiration that provide creative insights and new perspectives. These moments often occur when you are fully engaged in your creative endeavors.
3. Setting an Intention:
📝 Formulate Clear Intentions: Based on your aspirations and inspired insights, set clear, actionable intentions. This involves defining specific, achievable steps that align with your vision.
🎯 Commit to Action:
Make a conscious commitment to follow through with your intentions. This requires focus, discipline, and sustained effort.
4. Manifesting Your Vision:
🚀 Align Actions with Intentions: Ensure that your daily actions and decisions are in harmony with your intentions. Consistent, purposeful actions are key to manifesting your vision.
🧘♂️ Cultivate Mindfulness:
Regular mindfulness practices such as meditation or qigong can help you stay connected to your aspiratio

🌟 "But I tried a vision board before and it simply did not work!"
Why your Mindset interferes with your outcomes 🌟
In the past, you may have tried to manifest a desired outcome or make important changes, but after making a vision board, you may have set it aside, forgot about it, gotten sidetracked, or been discouraged by yourself or others around you because nothing was really happening.
So what is it that is stopping you from achieving your vision or goal? It might have been that you did not have a clear direction, a realistic plan, or a way to track your day-to-day progress.
But the most common reasons for failed attempts with a vision are related to your mindset (seen as the character strength of Judgment). 🧠
As you may have seen from past failed attempts, there are a few more steps needed to manifest significant changes. Accepting that you have to make preparations and plan to take specific actions will help you in using a vision board in the right way. 📋
🛑 One significant issue to address is setting unrealistic goals. When people create vision boards, they sometimes ask for outcomes far beyond their current capabilities or resources, leading to frustration and disappointment when these goals are not met. This can create a cycle of discouragement, causing individuals to abandon their vision boards altogether.
Instead, it’s crucial to believe in the possibility of achievable steps that lead towards bigger dreams, ensuring the goals set are within reach and build upon existing strengths and resources. 🎯
🔍 Another problem is focusing on the wrong goals. People often include aspirations that reflect societal pressures or superficial desires rather than what truly matters to them personally. This misalignment can lead to a lack of motivation and commitment, as the goals on the vision board do not resonate on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Without a strong personal connection to the goals, it’s challenging to truly believe in
Hi, this is Dan with a quick message for all you modern-day heroes out there. 🙌 Today, let's take a moment to recognize the first responders of life—the men on the front lines, facing the unspoken challenges and providing invaluable services to our communities. 👏
Many men today are battling their toughest enemy yet: themselves. Despite their desire to do good and take care of others, many are neglecting the most critical issue they'll ever face—their own health, especially their mental health. 🌟
Men are now at risk for:
Depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders 😔
Hypertension 💔
Diabetes 🍭
High cholesterol 🍔
Substance use disorders 🍺
That's why I'm dedicating all my energy to engaging more men in counseling and coaching. Let's get stronger, get back on track, and defend and protect what matters most to us. Our world needs healthy, heroic men more than ever. We need YOU to be a hero to yourself and to those in your life. 💪❤️
Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Together, we can make a difference.

Embracing Spirituality and Purpose through the ARIA Framework
Today, we delve into the essence of spirituality within the ARIA framework—a path that transcends the material, seeking a connection with something greater and aligning oneself with the universe's profound rhythms and truths.
ARIA Position: ACCEPTANCE
Definition:
Spirituality in ARIA is about following your heartpath, a journey where you align with the universal energy and your true calling. It's guided by a moral compass and a sense of divine purpose, transcending beyond the physical world and connecting with something deeper and more meaningful.
Affirmation:
"Striving for my highest self, I'm guided by ancient virtues." This powerful statement embodies the quest for spiritual growth and enlightenment, recognizing that the journey is as significant as the destination.
Navigating Spirituality: Balance is Key!
Overuse:
Self-righteous
Dogmatic
Fanatical
These words describe an excessive, rigid adherence to beliefs, often leading to a narrow view of spirituality that excludes other perspectives.
Underuse:
Unaware
Disconnected
Aimless
These words highlight a lack of spiritual connection or direction, reflecting a state where one's spiritual potential remains unexplored or ignored.
Reflective Challenge:
"What practices can you adopt to consistently align with the profound truths within you?"
This question invites you to reflect on your spiritual practices and how they help you connect with your inner truths and the universe's wisdom.
Practical Strategies for Spiritual Alignment
Meditation and Mindfulness: Engage in regular meditation or mindfulness practices to cultivate present-moment awareness and inner peace.
Prayer and Reflection: Dedicate time for prayer, reflection, or contemplation, focusing on your personal beliefs and values.
Gratitude Practice: Keep a gratitude journal to regularly acknowledge and appreciate the positive aspects of your life.
Nature Connection: Spend time in nature
