Many of us have a vision of the person we would like to be and the goals and aspirations we would like to accomplish. Also, like many, lose track of these goals and aspirations. A vision board is an amazing tool that helps remind you of these goals and helps keep you on track to achieving them.
What exactly is a vision board?
A vision board or dream board is a something you can visually look at everyday which has all of the positive traits, goals, aspirations, etc. you would like to attract and achieve in your life. This can be pictures of luxury cars if you want to buy the car of your dreams one day. It can have photos of a city or place you would like to move to in the future. Your vision board can have a monitory number of how much you would like to make at your job. It would even have positive values and habits you like like to attain.
How does a vision board work?
The importance of a vision board is that it remains in your sight. Somewhere you can look at everyday, maybe on your wall or closet door. You can even place it on your ceiling so its the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning. Or you can do what I do and take a photo of it and use it as your phone background wallpaper so you see it everything you check your phone.
The idea is that it reminds you constantly of the things you want to change and attract in your life. By having it nearby and being reminded of your goals everyday, it will help motivate, inspire and keep you on track to achieve your goals.
Does it actually work?
Speaking from experience, yes it really does work. If you’re like me, life is full of distractions. Constant traveling, changes in your schedule, new work projects, friends, family, almost everything in life is a distraction. My attention and efforts get pulled left and right often and often times I get distracted from my long-term personal goals. Having my vision board hanging next to my desk, on my laptop computer, and also as my phone background helps remind me to stay the course. When I wake up in the morning, it helps reconnect me with myself and in this busy world, taking the time to reconnect with yourself and reflect on where you are in life and where you’re going is vital to overall well-being. My vision board being the first thing I see in the morning aligns me with myself, my beliefs, my goals and ambitions in life. It motivates me to always work on myself and continue striving towards my goals.
A vision board can be created in many ways and you’re free to create it however you like. Create your vision board today, even if its just a bunch of words on a notepad which you can screenshot and place as your phone background or computer wallpaper. Make sure to add items on your vision board which has great meaning to you and feel the emotions of why you added certain things and also visualize and feel the emotions of how nice it would be to achieve those things.
Remember to reflect on you vision board daily and remind yourself what all of those items on your board mean to you and how amazing it will feel when you achieve them.
Cheers!
