If you have not yet heard of a vision board, you are no doubt wondering what it is.
A vision board is a board which you cover with images of a goal you want to accomplish. For example, you may collect pictures of your dream house. Or, you may put up pictures of people who are doing your dream job, or taking your dream vacation.
The premise behind the vision board is that by frequently looking at the images of your dream goal, you will reinforce your desire and your drive, and you will ultimately attract that which is displayed on your board.
Here is an example. If your dream is to own and live in a certain kind of house, you can make a collection of pictures taken from magazines and other sources that depict your ideal house. You can also collect pictures of the interior of the house decorated the way you would like to see it.
Arrange these pictures attractively on your vision board and glue them on securely. Also include pictures of yourself smiling happily in front of the house, and in some of the various rooms.
Once you have your vision board arranged to your satisfaction, be sure to put it in a place where you can easily see it every day. Be sure to take a few moments daily to intensely imagine yourself happily living in the house you have portrayed.
Many people find that the use of a vision board stimulates them to work harder towards their goals. Some even believe that their goals are achieved more quickly and easily by using this method.
Without constantly reminding yourself of what your dreams are, its easy to lose track of them. Sometimes we get trapped in a rut and forget that we used to want something very different for ourselves. A vision board can remind us of our original hopes.
Although many people like to visualize their goals, not everyone is good at easily picturing their goals in their imaginations. For this reason, having images that display your ultimate goal can help boost your imagination and desire.
A well made vision board can help keep you focused on the direction you want to take. It can remind you of what you are aiming for during all the times when the going gets tough.
In addition to using your board covered with images, you can also intensify your progress towards your goal by writing down your daily affirmations. In your affirmations, write as if your goal has already been achieved. Be very specific in noticing all the feelings and sensory details you would experience if your goal were accomplished.
Many people have come to believe in vision boards as if they were a magical tool for attracting what you want without any work.
The truth is that if you are expecting a magical result, you may have to wait a very long time. Its much more likely that you will have to put in real effort and commitment into getting your goals.
If you only create a vision board and you dont bother to do anything else to accomplish your goals, you arent really showing much commitment to achieving your goals.
Achieving your goals requires a mixture of faith, commitment and work!
A vision board can be a great first step, a reminder of what you want to accomplish.
Dream big!
