What’s Your Vision?

What’s Your Vision?

Are you a visual learner? For many of us, seeing is believing. But did you know that visuals are also great motivation, no matter what your learning style is? Vision boards are a great tool to help you focus, stay on track, and manifest your dreams. Read on to find out how a vision board can help you see, and realize, your goals!

What’s a vision board?
It’s exactly what the name says: a board that features a montage of images that speak to your Why, your hopes and your dreams. A vision board can help you focus on your goals when words aren’t enough. Haven’t we all heard that “a picture is worth a thousand words?”

How do I make a vision board?
Whether you’re old-school or high-tech, making a vision board is a pretty straightforward project. Simply collect images and words from magazines or online sources that represent your passions and goals. How about a photograph of the boat you’d like to buy someday? Or of a snow-peaked mountain to represent your dreams of a skiing vacation this year? If your goal is spending more time with family, put photos of those you love in a prominent place on your board. Include more immediate goals, like reaching Gold within a certain number of months. And don’t forget your own name, because your vision board is personal to you!

Why do vision boards work?
Vision boards help us focus on what it is we really want, so our subconscious will nudge us into taking the action to get there. In psychology circles, this is known as the “cocktail party effect,” because it involves focusing on a single conversation or concept amid lots of background noise or distractions. Obviously we all have a lot going on all the time, but if you’re reminded every day of the things you want, you’ll become more open to ways of achieving them. And once you do, you can refer back to your vision board to see the results of your hard work.
