Behind The Vision Board

©2017 My 2018 Vision Board

Let us take a look at the way to create a vision board that actually works.  The secret behind every good vision board is that it helps push you forwards in life and works towards turning what once seemed impossible into something that is very, very possible.

Using magazine clippings stuck onto a board can hold tremendous power provided that you take the time you need to create it properly.  The way that you set about creating your Vision Board (from the board itself to all of the content you place on it) is what makes it work.

I believe that there is a lot of soul searching and deep reflection required to make the board come to life with the images and statements that will speak volumes to you day after day.

You might find that from start to end the whole process can run into several weeks.  You cannot simply grab a pile of magazines and stick any old pictures there if you want your Vision Board to mean something and guide you towards specific achievements.

So before you begin to physically create your Vision Board here is a list of things that are crucial if you want a board that works for you.

Look back over the past year and jot down what you have already achieved. Your list could be enhanced by following these prompts:-

What did you accomplish?
What did you do that made you proud?
What did you try that did not work out the way you wanted it to?

Looking at the successful points of the past year should provide you with some ideas of what you can build on.

Which direction do you want to take you life in the next year?
People forget that they are in control of their life and keep on “putting up” with something because they have forgotten that they can change things.

You could use an affirmation such as this one to help you reinforce what you are doing.

“I am the designer of my life and my role is to lay the foundation and then to choose the contents”
Too many people stay in jobs that they hate, in relationships where they are not happy, in friendships that no longer serve them, because they say to themselves “this is just the way it is!”

Creating a vision board reminds you that there is an alternative!  You do not need to remain stuck because you are able to choose which direction you life goes next.

Another example of a Vision Board


Everyone knows of at least one personal change they want to make.
It makes absolutely no difference where you are or how successful you have become, I can guarantee that everyone (if they are totally honest) knows that there is something they want to change about themselves.

A couple of examples being:-

Lose weight

Start that business 

Make more time for family and friends

Looking at the areas of your life where you are unhappy gives you the pointers towards where you want to go next!

When you understand what it is that you want to change, you can begin to work our how exactly you are going to make those changes.

If you need to study something there are many places online where you can enrol for all sorts of free classes.

So what would you do differently if there was nothing to hold you back?

Just in case you think that what you want to change and what would you do differently are the same, but really they are not.

We do sometimes find ourselves in a situation where there is at least one thing we want to change but we can really do very little about it….

Some examples are

A job that keep you in a certain area.
The cost of childcare stops you from saving as much as you would like.
Caring for elderly parents takes up so much of your time that you find you cannot start the business you have been dreaming of.

Let me ask you this  - What would you do if none of those things held you back from living the life you want to right now?

Answering these questions will help you clearly see your big goal and having that in mind before you start cutting out pictures and quotes from those inspirational publications will help you to create your vision board in a way that serves your purpose.


BE CLEAR ON YOUR NEXT BIG GOAL!

Getting rid of the barriers that are holding you back from living your best life is so very important!  

Once you have a clearly defined goal you can be strategic about finding the visuals to put onto your vision board to serve that goal. 

Your vision board CAN transform your life but it is your job to build the vision of what you want to become.
