Making a Vision Board

A vision board is a visual representation of your goals. Many believe that by expressing your goals and being able to visualize them on a regular basis, you will achieve those goals quicker. Even if you don’t believe that it is a great way to reflect on your goals and to have a visual reminder of them. To make a vision board, follow these steps.

· Make a list of your goals either for the coming year, longer-term life goals, or both. You can also include what you hope to have. An example would be this year I want to buy my dream house or a dog.

· For each goal, find a visual representation. You can use a photo, a drawing, something out of a magazine, or anything else you want.

· Decide what you want to use as your board. You can use a poster board, a bulletin board, a canvas, or any other material you prefer.

· Are there any quotations, or words of inspiration that are important to you? You can include those too.

· Now it’s time to put it all together. This is your board so there are no rules on what goes where. You could place your pictures in order of importance or in the order you would like them to happen, or you can put them all over the place. Have fun with it and make it visually pleasing to you.

· I write below my pictures what my goal is, but you don’t have to do that.

· Find a spot where you will easily see the board, and occasionally reflect on what goals you have and whether you would like to change them.
