ENVISIONING 2025: Create Your Own Vision Board
Another way to set goals or to attract what you want to have in life is through a vision board. A vision board is a series of words and pictures, usually glued to a piece of poster board, that illustrates what you want to have in your life in the coming year. Many people cut out pictures in magazines to symbolize the kinds of experiences they want, or they use their own photographs or drawings. There could be pictures of healthy foods, travel adventures, new possessions on the home front, friendships, educational opportunities, sports, money symbols, relaxation, pets, soulmates - whatever you want to have in your life in the coming year. Significant words can attract the feelings you want to be present as well. Vision boards can be highly creative, elaborate, and personal. It’s important to keep them in a prominent place where you can see them daily to meditate upon them. This will help instill the images in your mind, so you can work to manifest your goals. — BETTY HOLT

COLLECT YOUR SUPPLIES. To create a vision board, first gather some supplies. Here’s what you’ll need: • A piece of poster board, foam board, or a bulletin board. First decide where you will hang your vision board, and then get a piece of poster board or foam board sized to fit that space. Another option is to use a framed bulletin board. • Glue gun or map pins. Using a glue gun will set the images permanently. If you want to update your vision board as your goals are realized, you may want to use map pins instead of a glue gun. • Images of your vision, goals, and dreams. This is the fun part. With your goals and dreams in mind, thumb through magazines and catalogs, looking for pictures, photographs and even words, that visually describe your heart’s desires. You can also use things such as fabric swatches (perhaps you want to do some decorating) and business cards (maybe you want to start a business). Your visuals don’t have to be direct representations of your goals. As long as you know why an item is there and what it represents to you, it will work.
ADD IMAGES. Finally, it’s time to place your images on the board. Start by putting your most important goal or wish in the middle, then work out from there.
HANG IT UP where you can easily see it. This will keep inspire you and keep your “eyes on the prize.”
LET IT EVOLVE OVER TIME. As you complete a goal, move the image to a victory board or scrapbook. As you find new goals or new images that represent existing goals and visions, add them to your vision board. The nice thing about using a pin-board for your vision board is that you can change, move and edit images as you’re inspired to do so. Most of all, take time to look at your board as much as possible, and really envision yourself living the beautiful life displayed there. Feel good about where you’re heading and you’ll get there faster than you think. Adapted from: https://simplify101.com/ organizing-blog/create-vision-board/
