Create Loving memories of your future! 

What is Reverse Scrap booking?

Reverse-scrap-booking is a powerful tool in visualizing and creating your brilliant future! You know how most people create a scrap book to preserve pictures and memories of the past.... (scrap-booking), well, reverse-scrap-booking is where you create pictures of the future and design the memories you are going to make!  It is a way to literally make your life a work of art!

        

How can I use Reverse Scrap-booking?

Reverse Scrap booking is a tool for you to use in manifesting the people, circumstances and experiences that you choose for your life.  That dream mate, your perfect job, new home, or blissful vacation!  You can use it to flesh out what that body will look like when you lose the extra 10 lbs or how you would want to feel on a day-to-day basis.  It could be the business you want to create or that car you have had your eye on for years.  Whatever it is you want to create in your life, reverse scrap-booking will help you to play your way to having it!

How do I start my reverse scrapbook?
 
1.A)  Well, I would start by sitting down and writing out what it is you really want to create for your life and what areas you want to focus on. I tend to keep a page for all areas in my life and everything I am creating in my business. Once you have identified your areas of focus, sit down and write a paragraph or a page on what you want to create in that area of your life.

1.B) If you are not a fan of writing you can skip strait to the reverse scrap-booking. See below.

2. Load up on the following supplies:

a) A beautiful book to create your future in.  This is my latest and it TOTALLY inspires me. I get happy just  
looking at the cover!

b) A full set of color markers

c) Glue stick and scissors

c) A pile of magazines, pictures, books etc. that you do don't mind cutting up.

d) Anything else that you are inspired to use in creating images that inspire you.  glitter, stickers, colored paper, ticket stubs, scrap book stuff.

3) Begin creating your future! Pick what page you want for each topic, create a heading and begin to fill the page with pictures and words that *inspire" you. (To check if you are inspired. Look at the picture and imagine yourself with this picture in your reality. If it brings a smile to your face and a sparkle to your eye... you may just be inspired!)  This is a wonderful opportunity to use creativity and play in powerfully creating your life.  And, if you happen to be one of those people who do not consider yourself particularly creative or not a lot of fun, then this exercise is a must!! 

4)  For extra fun you can leave blank pages beside the ones you create and you can begin to fill in the blank pages with pictures and mementos of your life as your reverse 
scrap book pages start manifesting themselves in your reality!

Are you ready to see some of my pages that I am making come true as we speak?

You will notice in these reverse scrap-booking pages that they each take a slightly different approach. Some use more pictures, others are more about a feeling or mood I want to create in that area of my life, still others are actual physical things that I am choosing for my life. As you look through my examples, think about what you want to create and what would be the best way to express that in your reverse scrap book.

My Life Work

This page illustrate who I choose to be in the world, with a particular emphasis on who I choose to be as a coach as well as what I choose my business to stand for in the world.  By creating this I am essentially creating the foundation for my life and how I want to live each day.

Question: If you could leave a mark on the world...what would it be?

Question:  If you could choose how you would show up on a daily basis...what would you choose?

Powerful, Healthy Body

I have lived an adventure with my body for as long as I can remember. Always having an idea of what I wanted, never having the clarity, strength or awareness to take it all the way.  Today I have the most healthy body I have ever had and it just keeps getting better! The picture on the left represents strength, clear skin and of course, looking fantastic in a bathing suite.  The second one has some healthy food that makes me salivate! Just looking at it makes me want to eat a salad (which is something that at one point I would never have thought I would hear myself saying!) Note the lovely painting I added of all the foods that I get to/love to eat!

Question: What would life be like in the body of your dreams?

Question: What would it take for you to claim the body that is you birth right?

Looking Fabulous / Feeling Great!

"Know first who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly."
                                                                   Epictetus

I love this quote because I am all about knowing yourself and living as your authentic self and a huge part of that for me is wearing clothes that express on the outside, who you are on the inside. Clothes that make you feel like a million bucks whether you are at work, out on the town, or lounging at home.  On the top I have some looks that inspire me for different parts of my day, and below I have an overall style statement.  I even went so far as to create my own heading in "Star Magazine" for the day the paparazzi catch me and the panel critiques my outfit!

"Joelle is known for her flare and sense of style! You cannot help but turn to look as she walks into a room. Hip, fun, classy and one of a kind, this gal is LIVING LOUD!"

Question:  What would it be like if every time you walked out the door you felt together, polished and sassy!

Question: If you could choose a way to look, a way to dress, a way to stand and walk that totally represented the best version of you... what would that look like?

Loving Relationship
"Experiencing everything with each-other. Being best friends through it all."
                                                                              Jeff Friedman
                                                       (my loving husband!)

The quote was something my husband stated back during our courtship, as a wish for us in our relationship.  I say HECK YA! SIGN ME UP!  The words and pictures represent everything I choose for our relationship and what I am committed to.

Question: What do you want for your relationship(s)?

Question: If you could use any words to describe your relationship(s) at it's best. What words would you use?

Not an exhaustive list of topics but certainly enough to get you started. The sky is the limit! Record any future you want in the pages of your reverse scrap book (I even have a section I call “manifestation of the moment” for just that).  I hope you enjoy exploring, dreaming and creating your future, and once you are done, that is when the fun really beings because then you get to watch as it all shows up in your life.

To your fabulous future!

With Love,

Joelle
