subject: A Vision Board - A Powerful Visualization Tool To Help Achieve Your Goals [print this page] A vision board is a powerful visualization tool which can help you towards achieving your goals. Simply put, it is a collage of images and writings of what you want, want to do or how you wish to be. It is your vision of you, an evocation of the goals you have already written-down.
You can make one yourself from card, cork board or foam or you can buy one ready-made. Size will depend on where you want to mount it but make sure it is big enough to accommodate all your dreams and goals and to allow you to keep adding over time. Simply use a piece of thick white card cut to the size you want. I find 60cm x 50cm is a good size as this is less than the width of a standard door or refrigerator which are both great places to mount your board.
Start by using a great picture of you and place it in the center. After all you are the center of your universe and you want to depict that on your board. Now cut out pictures from magazines and brochures or use photos of the things you want. Write inspirational messages of all the things you want and the person you want to become. Examples: travel, new home, car, weight loss, job success, new friends, relationship, and academic qualifications. The list is endless and only restricted by your goals.
Beware. Once you get motivated you may have to re-appraise your goals as you find things you hadn't thought of, or you may even find your goals too small.
Does it work? Well John Assaraf can attest that it does and told his story in "The Secret and even wrote a book on it, "The Vision Board Kit: Using the Power of Intention and Visualization to Achieve Your Dreams" and appeared on The Larry King Show to tell his story.
Sound too simple? Perhaps that why very few of us actually do it!
