Using the power of visualization is great for getting what you want out of life. Creating a vision board is a tangible way of putting together images and words to reflect goals, dreams, and desires for your life. When you affirm these visions in a positive way, the law of attraction starts to work for you and brings these things into your life. Here are some other reasons you need to think about creating a vision board and how to put one together.
It helps you find clarity around what you want. While some of us know exactly what we want out of life, others may not be sure of what their perfect life looks like. When you sit down and create your vision board, it helps to clarify what you would like to see as part of your future. You don’t have to create a board in a single sitting either.
You’ll get creative. Since your vision board is a wish list in pictures, the process allows you to really get creative. More so than sitting down and making a list on paper, cutting out images and looking at images that represent what you want ignites that creative side of your brain. When you’re deep in this creative space, you’re bound to be more open to what it will take to make your dreams come true too.
It motivates you. When you get frustrated or hit tough points in your life, a vision board helps you stay on track. Looking at it can regularly inspire you to keep going and remind you of what you are striving to achieve. All of this gives you the motivation and drive to keep forging ahead.
You can go back to it and adjust your desires. Having all of your goals and dreams in front of you in a visual form allows you to regularly reassess what you want. A vision board is a representation of where you are now and where your mind is at the moment. Having the visual in front of you daily can and will inspire great changes in your life.
You’ll feel more things are possible. Seeing your dreams in pictures and words also fosters positivity in you that achieving them is something that can be a reality. If the thoughts only stay in your head, it’s more difficult to “see” them happening. A vision board is an excellent tool for optimism that all you want to come true is possible, and these positive emotions increase your opportunities for success.
They are productive. Bottom line, studies show that people who create and meditate on their vision board images achieve their goals and feel more confident than those who don’t. Putting together a vision board shows initiative and you’re more likely to pursue your goals too if you create one. The Law of Attraction is more likely to work when you associate those visual images with your dreams.
By now, you may be thinking about how great it would be to make your own vision board but aren’t sure where to start. It’s easy, here’s what to do.
Meditate first. Get to a quiet place and start to look into yourself about what you really want in life. Jot what comes down in your mind as it appears. Let your mind consider all the possibilities for your future and don’t hold back. Then, take these notes into your creative session.
Cut out or print images, words, and quotes that inspire you.
Place on a board. After you’ve cut out or printed a bunch of images and words that speak to you, arrange them on some kind of poster board. A foam board would likely work best since it is more sturdy. It can be any size that allows you to fit in all of your images. Use glue or tape to adhere what you’ve cut out.
Embellish with stickers, beads, etc. Finally, have some fun with the result. You can affix stickers or glue beads to your board. Do anything you’d like to it that makes it represent who you are and where you’re going. The creativity is inspiring and makes the board more fun to look at over and over as you pursue these dreams. Be childlike and have fun.
