Step 5: Creating

 

Honing in...

 

Working with one card at a time, start to look at the images you've gathered. Now is the time to start editing, to see which images start to come more strongly into focus, which ones fade away. You may find yourself wanting to hone in on only a part of the picture, cutting out just the cat, the mug, the moon. Take a look at your mystery pile and see if some of those images fit right onto one of your three focus areas. You might be surprised to discover where that dragon belongs.

Letting go...

Not every image will make it onto your Vision Cards. That's absolutely fine. Trust your instincts. Let your intuition make decisions and narrow it down. You can always find a home for unused images in your journal or a dreamboard or the next round of Vision Cards. Or you can simply let them go.  

Taking time to notice...  

This is a wonderful time to notice any trends, the colours you've chosen, the symbols, the guides. You might start to see that for you, home is always green and white and that family is all about smiles and laughter. If you like, take a few moments to journal what you notice.

Putting it together...

Feel free to play with the possibilities, placing, without gluing, some images on your board and seeing where they feel at home. Move the images around, playing with composition and combinations. When things start to feel like they're falling into place, it's time to glue.
