By admin5 Essential Vision Board Creation Tips to Help You Stay More Focused
Goal setting and visualizing your dreams have unparalleled power. They help you think, focus and eventually achieve, as a result of consistent efforts. The Vision Board is a powerful tool that helps you identify the path to reach your goals.
Before you create a vision board, you need to identify your vision. Begin by understanding what a vision is. A vision is your image of an ideal life. It represents all the people, things, accomplishments you hold close and defines the legacy you wish to leave behind. Identifying your vision is about finding your life’s purpose.
Once you create an idea of what your life should look like, short or long term, it is time to make it a tangible entity. A vision board works as a visual reference point to keep you on track. By constantly motivating you, a vision board helps you regain focus time and again along the way.
Now that you are ready to create the ‘big picture’, here are 5 essential tips to make a vision board that never fails you:
1. Make it lively
Do you remember the exhilaration you felt when you first visualized the future you wanted for yourself? Make an effort to create a vision board that reminds you of that feeling to keep you motivated, especially on the tough days. Make it colorful. Be selective and pick pictures that are closest to the image you created for yourself in your head.
2. Remind yourself ‘why’
Nothing can drive you to achieve something more than the reason itself. Be sure to include why something needs to be a part of your big picture. Remember to be affirmative and positive. Focus on the vision, and not the negative feeling that could be the underlying cause.
3. Include action items
While you need to focus on what your future looks like, it is also important to include what will get you there. Include words, quotes, thoughts and images that represent or can inspire you to physically take action to get you closer to achieving everything you want. This could also prove to be a powerful habit-forming tool to make your life better.
4. Go beyond the material
A vision board could be more effective if it became a constant reminder of how you want to feel. After all, the happiness you derive out of achieving your dreams is what makes it worth your efforts. Show yourself the real big picture by featuring the emotions you constantly see yourself seeking. Pictures of yourself looking happy can become an important part of your vision board.
5. Pick the right spot
A vision board works best if you are able to spend some time with it every day. Find a place that gives you a clear view. The vision board’s purpose is to ensure your goals are always at the top of your mind. Take some time to contemplate your vision board every day. Let your dreams guide and inspire you.
Your vision board can be as big as a wall, or as small as a post-it note. But a vision board the size of a sheet of paper is most optimum. It can comfortably sit on your nightstand or be placed with your work essentials to be the visual reminder that keeps you focused.
