As the name implies, vision board is there to help you visualize your success. It gives you a clear picture of who you want to be and constantly reminds you the reason you made it. It creates a powerful image in your mind and helps you believe in your ability to achieve your goals. And do not think because you missed January 1st, you can’t make a vision board for the year. Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity to start. While vision noard is there to give us a picturesque view of our dreams, we must do our part to make a reality.
Here’s how to create a vision board
The idea behind the vision board lies on the theory of the law of attraction. You attract what you think. If you think positive, positivity is what you will get. And if you think negative, you get negativity. While you create your vision board, make sure to personalize it. Use the word « I » in every positive affirmations. For example don’t say « to be rich» but say “I am rich.” Below are some of the things to consider when creating a vision board.
Start with a theme! I can’t emphasize on this more. This will give you a clear direction on how you want your vision board to be. It’s just like writing an essay. You don’t write without a topic, else what are you writing about? Your vision board will have no head and no tale without a theme. Do not stress on this too much. It’s pretty easy. Just question yourself on what you want to accomplish, or on what you truly desire and you will come up with a perfect theme. I once created a vision board with the theme “My journey to the stars.” This gave me more direction and clarity on how my vision board would be.
Choose specific photos. Let’s say having a house is your goal. Don’t just pick a random picture of a house to put on your vision board. Let the picture represent the the type of house you want, the color, the design, let it match with what you have in you mind. If having a car is your goal, let it be a clear representation of the brand and the color. Choosing specific photos is very key because it actually shows you what you want and helps you achieve your goals. You keep seeing the prize exactly as you want it to be.
They say nothing happens for nothing. If you can dream of it, you can make it happen. But the moment you start to doubt if you can really do this, well I’m afraid to say the universe will also be doubting if it can send to you what you truly want and dream of. You must believe you can achieve it. You must believe it can be you running that business, driving that Tesla, owning that house. Throw away your doubts and let your dreams be in sync with your actions and words. Speak it out, say it louder, scream it at the top of your lungs , I can do this, I attract success, I will win, I am blessed.
If you ever run out of ideas, you can always get inspired through Pinterest, Canvas or other social platforms. They have a lot of examples on how a vision board should be created. The more you do it, the more inspired you become. As we all know, practice makes perfect.
Do not mixed up everything. You should be organized. You can choose to do your board in sections to give an organized look. Don’t just muddle the pictures on the board. You don’t want it to look messy. Remember your vision board is there to help you manifest your dreams. If you don’t work for it to happen, nothing will change. While the universe attracts to us what we truly desire, hard work is also very key in achieving our desires. It’s all a process, stay consistent on it and be patient. It will all happen in a blink of an eye. Until then, keep your eyes on the prize.
