Vision boards have many names – but no matter what you call them, the idea behind using them is a simple one. People utilize vision boards in an effort to surround themselves with the images of things they want to become, things they want to have, places they want to live, places they want to visit, or changes that you want to have happen in your life.
Vision boards can come in many different designs – it could be a cork board on which you’ve pinned pictures of things you want; or it could be a simple poster board that you have pasted the images torn from magazines; it could even be a folder on your computer that holds the images you’ve scavenged from the website that indicate all the things you long to have.
It doesn’t matter what form your vision board takes place. What does matter is that it will help you to add clarity to your thoughts and will give a feeling to your “vision” of what you’d like your life to be.
Get Started!
• Pick up a large poster board or bulletin board from the store.
• Find a huge stack of magazines. You can find these all over the place, and you’ll want to ensure you have a lot of different types of magazines. You don’t necessarily need to have magazines in your pile that you would normally read.
• If you’re using a poster board, you’re going to need glue. Don’t get the cheap kind of kids glue though because it’ll make your images ripple and look funny. You can get great glue from your local scrapbook stores. If you’re using a cork board, you’re going to need pushpins.
• Start to go through the magazines and tear out anything that “speaks” to you. We’re not going to put anything on your vision board yet – we just want to get a lot of images right now. You don’t have to limit yourself to just images – you could also tear out words and phrases as well.
• Once you have your pile of torn out images, start to go back through them and pull out your favourites.
• We’re almost set to get that board ready! There’s no right way to set up your board. You may want to just have a huge collage, or maybe you want a very linear look to everything. You may want to group like images together (health, relationships, career, etc)
• Now you can glue or pin everything to your board. If you’d like to write some text on there, go ahead and do that too.
• Remember to put a great picture of yourself on your board too.
• Hang your new vision board somewhere that you will see it often.
