Vision Boards: Designing your Destiny
You're standing in front of a blank canvas, armed with the magical ability to paint your dreams into reality. With each brushstroke, you bring your deepest desires to life, creating a vibrant and captivating masterpiece. This, my friend, is the power of a vision board.
Think of a vision board as your personal artistic sanctuary, a sacred space where you can unleash your wildest aspirations. It's like a visual roadmap that guides you towards the life you truly want to live. By carefully selecting and arranging images, words, and symbols that resonate with your soul, you're creating a powerful magnet that attracts your dreams into existence.
But here's the best part: a vision board is not just a mere collage of random pictures. Oh no, it's so much more than that. It's a portal to your imagination, a window into the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.
As you gaze upon your creation, you can't help but feel a surge of inspiration and motivation, like a secret code that unlocks the hidden potential within you.
And here's a little secret: the universe loves visuals.
Use these basic guidelines to create this tool for yourself:
1. A vision board begins with a foundation. This may be a poster board, foam board, tri-fold board, or cork board. Use what works best for you. Choose a foundation that speaks to you, one that you feel you can easily and effectively build upon.
2. A vision board includes imagery. You can clip pictures out of books, magazines, or the newspaper. If you prefer, you can draw the images yourself. What matters here is that images are present, because your vision board needs to be visual in nature. Seeing pictures of your priorities, dreams, and goals will help you focus on them.
⦁ Allow yourself to experiment with different mediums while creating the images for your vision board. Find photographs, sketches, clip art and other images; then draw any subjects for which you couldn't find an appropriate piece of art.
3. A vision board includes writing. Writing isn't mandatory, but it can play a role in identifying the key pieces of information. You want to make sure that you can look at your vision board at any point in the future and know exactly what you intended by each picture, word or thought included on it.
Your goal map is limited only by the extent of your personal creativity. It may be simple and strategic or it may be a highly detailed work of art. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what best suits your needs.
The general elements in an effective and motivating vision board are:
1. Visual. Your subconscious tends to work in terms of images and pictures, and so your vision board should be as visual as you can possibly make it. Supplement the images with phrases and words as needed.
2. Emotional. Every image on your goal map should evoke some type of positive emotional response out of you. Seeing it should fuel your motivation to achieve your dreams.
3. Strategic. This tool should be placed strategically in a location where you receive maximum exposure to it. Seeing your vision board as often as possible will help you stay focused on your goals and dreams.
4. Personal. Your vision board needs to emit positive energy. If you think that you'll be criticized or forced to justify yourself for your vision board, then keep it in a private location so nobody else can bother it or you.
So, grab your scissors, glue, and a big ol' canvas. Dive into a treasure trove of magazines, photographs, and even your own artwork.
Not your style? Go digital! Allow yourself to get lost in the creative process, letting your intuition be your guide. Piece by piece, you'll build a mosaic of your dreams, a visual representation of the life you're destined to live.
