I have read a lot of information over the years on abundance and attraction. I never really understood it, but I was reading it. Recently, dropping the idea of perfection has allowed me to refocus into an abundance mindset. Everything in the universe is abundant and we all have the power to attract what you desire from the universe into your life.
There are a lot of books, articles, and blogs that discuss this type of thinking. I know that when I am reading or listening to audio books on the subjects, something inside me is activated. It seems like ancient wisdom in which my soul consciousness relates and remembers.
I’ve heard of goal books, visualization, ways to manifest and other ways to attract what your want in life. I probably heard the creation box from something, but a creation box is what always comes to mind when thinking about my work Professional Development Plan [future post].
I have recently began a Creation Box. Anything I put in this box is something I want to create in my life. The purpose is to attract it, and eventually manifest it into reality. It’s a journey into noticing positive aspects that you believe would be great for you and your life. It has a way of noticing greatness instead of the things you hate or don’t want. The intent is that you stop noticing the negative things around you, because you’re always in search of things that inspire and motivate you into your greater self.
What goes in the Creation Box?
- Magazine Clippings
- Photographs
- Quotes
- Affirmations
- Drawings
- Notes
- Lists
- Thoughts and ideas
- Journals
- Feelings
- Brochures
I listed a bunch of different things that you can place in your creation box. There is unlimited resources to place in the box. The rule is to put in things that you want to manifest in your life. You’re not going to place a car accident into your creation box – you probably don’t want to ever have that happen to you. See what I mean?
Placing these objects into the box will become almost like a spiritual ritual in attraction and manifestation. You’re the creator of your life and you’re in charge of what you place inside the box. I believe an important part of this ritual is the act of placing the content in the box. I would create a mantra for whenever you’re putting something inside and intend for it to manifest. Something like, “What I place in this box is real and I intend to create this into my life.” I would bet that over time, you’ll realize you’re surrounded by things and people that you wanted in your life and you’ll look at the box in a new way. The box is full of abundance and nothing is in a limited supply.
Once the box is full, start another. I have not gotten to that point yet, but when I do I’ll probably create a binded book. I won’t cross that path until I get to it. The point is that you start today.
Make your Creation Box Exciting
The fun of a creation box is that you can design it yourself. You can get a cardboard box for next to nothing these days. You could probably even find one for free. Use whatever you want. I am using an Ikea box that has a lid. It’s started white, however I am decorating the outside while placing object inside as well. Place quotes or images on the outside. Draw on it. Paint it. Let your imagination run wild and treat it like another creative project. You can always leave it simple and clean as well. If people see it, they wouldn’t have any idea it’s holding such greatness inside.
I’d love to see your creation box, if you do decide to create one. Or if you have a goal book, or something else you do, link to it here and share it [even if it is looking quite plain].
This is the Ikea box that I am currently using. I intend to make it more creative, but I wanted to show it at the beginning – it’s a journey right.
I’ve always wanted to start an inspiration board. Not only are they cool looking, they also hit on the law of attraction. More over, its amazing to me how a photo, or a material object, can tell a million stories in your head and yet somehow mean nothing to someone else.
I like your idea of collecting inspirations but the box seems symbolic to me- once you’re ready, I hope you pull it all out and put it up on display for the world to see.
That’s a really cool idea about the Inspiration Board. It reminds me of placing the image on your fridge or on your mirror so that you run into that image often. The box is a bit of a different symbol I guess. I think I should try a combination of the 2. We’ve been wanting to get a nice size cork-board for one of the extra rooms. It’s kind of tagged as our inspiration room, so it would fit in nice.
Oh I’ll display it all here – My Creation box and Inspiration Board.
I’ve kept a Spiral notebook for many years where I’ve pasted things. As well as a cork board. My new venture will be to make a sort of “mind movie” with photos and sayings. There is actually a “mind movie” software out there, but I’ll just use iMovie.
Actually, I’ve also started putting photo galleries in my iPhone to carry around and look at from time to time. My Mind Movie will also go in there.
I love going back through old journals and seeing how many of my dreams have come to fruition. Enjoy.
Hi Leslie!
Thanks for commenting first of all. I absolutely love the idea of a “mind movie.” I only have my iphone that does the video recording, but I think I would use the mind movie idea more as a cool way to show those inspirations, goals and desires from photos. Animoto is an awesome tool that might to this for you super quickly and easily. I am putting this in my list of to-do’s now. Animoto has an iphone app and you can viw your videos you’ve created with their service or download them and play them in your itunes. It’s really awesome. I’ll be sure to post one when I get to it. It would probably something I would be talking about more over on Nuwomb Experience – http://www.nuwombexperience. It’s more about my personal development and where I want my life to go.
I’ve got a small corkboard and I think they’re essential as well as moleskines! I love them dearly and I can’t agree more that they are amazing to look through from time to time and see what’s come true or what you were drawing/writing/doing at that time. Interesting ideas can come out of old Journals/sketchbooks.
