I was clearing out some old papers, etc. when I found an old vision board. I posted a pic to Instagram and Facebook, and a few people started commenting on it which reminded me that I hadn’t updated my one for years (at least 6 – 7 years, I actually think it was more like 10 years).
I made a vision board book a few years ago – a sketch book with a double spread for each area of my life – but it didn’t really work for me although it is very pretty 🙂
What is a vision board?
A vision board is a visual representation of what you want from your life. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you like as long as it resonates deeply with you.
Know your why
Is this vision board for your entire life or just one part? I’ve done vision boards for my whole life, and separate ones for business and babies. If you really feel like you need to explore one particular area, maybe you want to do a vision board for just that section of your life – e.g. work, family or home.
The idea is that as you keep looking at it, you’ll focus more on what you want out of life and those things will come to pass.
This is a picture I’d printed off from the internet as it was the type of photo I wanted to be able to take. Who knew? I can now take these kinds of pictures! I started scrunching it up to toss and then realised that it’s a live example I can show you guys!
These are just some of the words and images I’ve already gathered for this next vision board.
Actions for this week
- Get clear on what you want your vision board to represent
- Start paging through magazines for words and images
Do you have a vision board?
I’m working on my goals! Really enjoying the motivation I’m feeling! Vision board is next. When I get to it, I will post all about it. I do like the idea of putting it in a notebook too. I never liked the concept of having them hanging up. Too cluttery. I also like the concept of having different vision boards for different parts of your life.
I’m actively starting to put mine together this week too! I should send out a pic of my “babies” one!
