Are you familiar with the law of attraction? You may have heard this term on tv, on social media, or maybe floating around group conversation over dinner with friends, but most people don’t actually have a solid understanding of what it is. In essence, according to Psychology Today, it is “the belief that the universe creates and provides for you that which your thoughts are focused on. For a deeper review of what LOA is, check out our blog post “Understanding the Law of Attraction” to gain better insight. For now, when understanding why many people look to create a vision board for the new year to illustrate their New Year dreams and goals, we must understand how visualizing our goals by having them constantly in front of us, can act as a vessel to transform our dreams into reality. If you’re curious about creating a vision board for your dreams and goals, and need some help understanding the steps to create one, then we encourage you to read the following steps so you too can focus your energy on your life goals.
Points to Remember about a Vision Board:
-
You can do a digital or a physical vision board.
- The point is to look at it every day.
- This is a board of inspiration for your dream life.
- This is about what you want to invite into your life.
To begin, do a creative brainstorming session where you give yourself a dedicated amount of time to think about how you want your life to look. Whether that’s concerning business or your personal life; personal achievement; fitness; improving your health (mental, physical, emotional), spirituality, travel, or family goals. Or maybe your goal is to buy your first home; grow your rental properties; buying your first rental; getting your real estate license and quitting that terrible job that you hate. Maybe you want to focus on financial wealth, or more activities with your family; doing more things by yourself; taking that salsa class; or starting that etsy business. Do you want to get more organized? Wake up earlier? Buy your dream car or your first car? It can be as little or as big as you’d like-these are your dreams and goals, no one elses opinion of them matters. If you need some ideas of how to get your creative juices flowing, read out blog post “Creative Brainstorming Ideas” to get a scope of how to begin the brainstorming process.
Once you’ve determined your goals, go on pinterest, google, your personal photos, magazines, newspapers, anywhere where you can find images, and find images that inspire you, or are pictures of your goals. Generally, try to find pictures that bring you joy and inspire you. Try to be as purposeful with your pictures as possible.
Once you’ve got your collection of images, lay them out or digitally organize them how you see fit. Maybe you’d like to categorize them into certain sections on your board, or maybe you’d like the images to blend together and be scattered. Whichever way you’d like to organize your photos, do it! It’s all up to you.
If you’ve created a physical vision board, then consider framing it, putting a border around it, or hanging it somewhere where it won’t be damaged. The same goes with a digital vision board, you can frame it as a work of art, or customize it to fit as your computer desktop screensaver. The point of the vision board is to have it visible at all times. So maybe that means putting it above your desk, in your bedroom, the kitchen, wherever you spend the most time during the day is where this masterpiece should go.
At last, we’ve made it to the final stage of the creation of your vision board. Instead of just having this be a one time arts and crafts project, go back to your vision board often and reflect on how you’re doing throughout the year. A vision board is not the answer to all your dreams coming true, but instead it is a vessel you can use to direct your mind and you thoughts towards working towards your dreams and goals, and manifesting them into your reality. This is a reminder to you that anything is possible if you first visualize your goals, and secondly, put it into action.
