Hello, dear readers!
Let’s talk about a board that, though not magical, makes wonders in your life if used properly.
What is a vision board?
A vision board is a collage of images, words, and symbols that reflect your desired outcomes. It can be anything from a physical board made of cork or wood, to a digital board created online or on your smartphone. The idea is to fill your board with images and phrases that resonate with you and make you feel positive.
Some of the benefits of creating a vision board are:
- It helps you clarify your vision and purpose.
- It activates the law of attraction and draws opportunities and resources to you.
- It boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
- It keeps you focused and motivated.
- It reminds you of your progress and achievements.
How to create a powerful vision board in 6 steps
Creating a vision board is not difficult, but it does require some planning and creativity. Here are six steps to guide you through the process:
- Choose your goal. Decide what you want to achieve with your vision board. It can be related to any area of your life, such as health, career, relationships, personal growth, etc. You can also create different boards for different goals, or one board that encompasses all aspects of your life.
- Find your theme. Based on your goal, choose a theme that reflects your personality and style. For example, if your goal is to travel more, you can choose a theme like “adventure”, “wanderlust”, or “explore”. Your theme will help you select the images and words that will go on your board.
- Use a medium that suits you. Depending on your preference and availability, you can use either a physical or a digital medium for your vision board. A physical board can be more tangible and tactile, while a digital board can be more convenient and accessible. You can use tools like Canva or [Pinterest] to create online vision boards, or apps like [Vision Board] or [Subliminal Vision Boards] to create them on your smartphone.
- Write down your obstacles. Before you start collecting images and words for your board, take some time to identify the challenges and fears that might prevent you from achieving your goal. Write them down on a piece of paper and then tear it up or burn it. This will help you release any negative energy and clear your mind for positive visualization.
- Search for images and words. Now comes the fun part: finding the images and words that will represent your goal and theme. You can use magazines, newspapers, books, photos, stickers, posters, etc., for physical boards, or search online for digital boards. Look for images that evoke positive emotions and words that affirm your intentions. For example, if your goal is to learn a new language, you can use images of the country where the language is spoken, or words like “fluent”, “confident”, or “curious”.
- Arrange your board and display it. Once you have gathered all the elements for your board, it’s time to arrange them in a way that pleases you. You can use glue, tape, pins, magnets, etc., to attach them to your physical board, or drag and drop them on your digital board. Try to create a balanced and harmonious layout that captures the essence of your goal and theme. When you are done, display your board somewhere where you can see it every day, such as your bedroom wall, desk, or phone screen.
How to use your vision board effectively
Creating a vision board is only the first step towards achieving your goal. You also need to use it regularly and consistently to make it work for you. Here are some tips on how to use your vision board effectively:
- Look at it every morning and evening. Spend at least five minutes each day looking at your board and imagining yourself living your goal. Feel the emotions that come with it and express gratitude for having it in your life.
- Take action towards your goal. A vision board is not a magic wand that will make your dreams come true without any effort from you. You still need to take action towards your goal every day, no matter how small or big. Use your board as a guide and inspiration for what steps to take next.
- Update your board as needed. As you progress towards your goal, you may find that some of the images or words on your board are no longer relevant or motivating for you. You may also achieve some of the sub-goals that are part of your bigger goal. In that case, feel free to update your board with new elements that reflect your current situation and aspirations. This will keep your board fresh and aligned with your vision.
