A lot of people will tell you to visualize what you want, to create a vision board and put everything you want to help you focus on your heart's desire. They're right. Visualization is great. And vision or dream boards are very useful in honing your vision. I use them to help me workshop a new project, or to give me a sense of direction. Because I know whatever images and words I collage together are there for a reason. I'm drawn to them for some reason, and once I look at the shape of my board, the look of it with everything on it, I’ll know where I want to go with whatever I care about right then.  

COOKING TO FEEL BETTER

But as wonderful as visualization and vision boards are, there is a very simple way to manifest a life worth living. Right now. Without wasting time or money. It simply requires action. Want to change your life, really change it, deeply and profoundly? Want to feel better today? 

One simple action: cook your own food.

COOKING FOR ABUNDANCE

Embrace cooking. If you cooked all your own food, you would lose weight, feel better, and certainly eat much better. Cooking is simple: a series of steps, none of which are that tricky. And, if you start with really first-rate ingredients, your job is almost done. A simple sauté, a little olive oil, salt, and a spritz of lemon juice, and you will most likely have something fabulous to eat. Cooking your own food means you're in control of what you eat, and this usually means you're eating food that's much better for you than any prepared, packaged meal would be. People who cook eat a healthier diet without even trying. Cooking means you're healthier, thinner, and probably feel more content. It also means you're taking care of yourself, and that's a powerful message to send to the universe. Taking care of yourself means you're open to receiving more care, more love, more abundance.
