Fine-tune your family’s intentions and goals and launch your creative juices in creating a vision board that works.
Zoom Event: Sunday, January 30th at 2pm-3:30pm
A vision board is a visualization tool consisting of graphics, phrases, quotes, and affirmations that represent your goals and dreams for the future.
The simple exercise of curating your hopes and dreams into a visual representation—and looking at it regularly—is thought to allow you to subconsciously engage in the actions required to achieve those goals.
However, research has shown that vision boards don’t just work by putting positive thoughts out into the universe, they need to include plans of action to actually work. Join Sunny from Positivelystrong.com as she teaches how to create a vision board that works!

We all have a vision of how we want to spend the new year with family, but is your vision one that is shared by your whole family? We all (even our littlest family members) have an idea of what we want to do, places we want to see, or experiences we want to have.
COVID-19 has changed the way we live and work, especially for parents that are forced to manage working from home and full-time childcare or e-learning at the same time.
A heavy work schedule, multitasking, lack of proper sleep, a poor diet and exercise routine, and even too much time spent looking at a screen, can all leave you more frazzled and less productive.
