Unlock the power of your dreams and aspirations with a vision board. A tool for manifestation, it can help you visualize your goals, focus your energy, and transform your life. Let's delve into the process of creating an effective vision board.
What is a vision board?
A visual representation of your goals
- These typically poster-sized visuals, contain all kinds of images and text that represent something you’re trying to accomplish.
- There are really no rules when it comes to vision boards since it’s about crafting something that will inspire you to realize your dreams and goals on a daily basis.
Does a vision board really work?
Putting your goals on paper in this type of visual format can actually help you achieve them
- It’s a notion that Oprah and other celebrities, like Reese Witherspoon, have touted before
- There is plenty of research to back it up
- Mental practices like visualization can increase motivation and confidence
- In athletes, visualization was found to be almost as effective as physical practice
Put it somewhere you can see it
Make sure any words you use are short and the images you choose are vivid, attractive, and glossy
- Once you’re done, put your vision board in a place that’s within your regular line of sight
- The key is to look at it as often as possible
Consider what matters most to you
Think about the one or two segments of your life you really want to change and focus on the words those sectors bring to mind
Don’t be afraid to make updates
Think of your vision board as a living thing-rip things off, add things, or start from scratch if you’re so inclined.
- Be open to variations of what you want to achieve
