Before jumping into creating a magnificent vision board, you need to spend some time to think about what your dreams are and what you want to achieve for the year and for the years ahead. After this, you can start to form a range of visions in your head relating to how you can realise those goals.
There are many opinions about the best way to manage your goals, but ultimately, what’s most important is that you find something that works for you and you feel comfortable with.
So, the first main step in this process is to write down your goals and be as specific and determined as possible. Give yourself a time frame within which you want to achieve that particular goal.
How to use your vision board:
Leave the board where you can see it and spend a few minutes meditating on it twice daily but especially at night. Many successful people are dedicated to concentrating on a task or problem before going to bed and by morning, they have a solution. So imagine the power of visualizing your vision board before going to bed and how this will affect your subconscious positively.
Do not spend too much time on the board, it might turn into daydreaming rather than visualisation.
Vision board apps are available as well so that the boards can be created on computers and mobile devices. You can try out Bloom, it is available for free at the Apple store. You can also use Picasa and Pinterest, but if you prefer the practical one, get cardboard, a pair of scissors, glue and images.
What are you waiting for? Get started and be inspired to achieve great things.
Good luck with your vision board!
