Vision Boards, most people don't know what they are or their purpose regarding your overall well-being. Vision Boards work, and this post will be one of many for our vision board series. Stay tuned in, and we won't leave you without a vision. Just remember, you can't change your life, meet your goals, or make dreams happen without action. So, let's get started so you can learn Vision Board 101: An Overview of What They Are and How They Can Change Your Life.....

What Is A Vision Board?

Before we start, what is a vision board? It is a gathering of images, quotes, and other visual media to represent goals and affirmations. Vision boards are a great way to manifest what you want to happen in your life. For vision boards to work, you need to personalize them to yourself. What do you want to love about yourself? What do you want to achieve? Previously we started our journey of loving ourselves as we are now. For this project, it is okay if what you love about yourself is what you are trying to achieve.

How Do We Make A Vision Board Work?

First and most importantly, it has to be things you WANT to achieve. Yes, it’s nice to put together pieces of someone in the gym and say we will work out, but is that what you want? Or do you just want to be healthier? There are different ways to become healthy, so manifest the way that makes sense to YOU. 

Take your time. Find images you like or what you think will work. DON’T PUT THEM ON YOUR BOARD YET!! Once you have more than enough images for your space, look at what you have; what resonates with your dreams and goals? What do you want to love about yourself? Your board should make you feel something, not just be images put together. Once you have the images that make you feel like you are going to attain your dreams and goals, put them together however you want (glue to poster board, stick on a cork board, etc.)

Where Do I Put It?

You put the vision board where you need it. Do you need to see it every day? Maybe put it in your bedroom where you get ready for the day. Do you need it at work for motivation? Put it in your workspace! That’s the beauty of vision boards. They are there to work for you!

How Is Vision Board 101: An Overview of How It Can Change Your Life

Are you still wondering what the purpose of a vision board is and how it can impact your life? It is a tool for self-love because you are caring for yourself! Loving yourself includes nurturing your dreams and goals to become the best version of yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup, my friends!

So, if you're ready to jump in and do your vision board, go for it! If not, don't fret. This is just the beginning. Are you still not sure you buy into this whole vision board thing? You're saying to yourself, "What the heck, I've lived 50 years without a vision board. These millennials are always looking for ways to feel good about themselves." Well, maybe they've got something worth listening to, and you could also enhance the next chapter of your life.

How do I know this? Because I am 50 and can honestly say that I have thought things similar to this in the past. Yet, I know I need these ideas because with menopause, empty nesting, and retirement approaching - I DON'T want to be that person that keeps on working because I have no vision for the next chapter in life. I am right there with you every step because I am learning new things along with you - you're not alone in this new adventure!
