So it’s half way through the year but when you feel you want something different and change is occurring, then it doesn’t matter what month of the year it is, you can still goal set.
So once your goals are set, then it’s best to create a vision board related to your goals so you can look at it every day. One minute or ten minutes it doesn’t matter, just look at it every day. This way you remind yourself of where you want to be in life.
So are you ready to make a vision board? Let us begin:
Start off with either cardboard or thick card paper. I chose pink for mine because it’s my favourite colour. And if I am going to look at something each day, it has to entice me. Which interestingly enough was the title of my first ebook I published.
Now, I found some white card board and decided to write key words that I wanted to focus on the vision board. You can see it below. You don’t have to use as many as I did. But I am a writer so words are my passion and words speak to me, so for me it’s important to add words to my vision board that bring truth to me.
I cut out the words and then I had to find images that related to my goals and the words. This was easier than I expected. I have been cutting out images from magazines etc for about a year and I do use them but I have a literal ice cream tub filled with images. So you need to find images you can add. This is an important step. Because pictures create the visual. They create the story.
This is what I discovered:
Now once I had it all scattered, I was actually a bit nervous. Did I have enough images? Was it too many words? And then I remembered, this is my vision board so as long as it means something to me that is all that matters.
I also wasn’t sure if it would all fit and how would I display the images and words together. But there is no rhyme or rhythm to a vision board. You just enjoy the process. If you don’t like part of it you can glue something over it and no one will know.
And then once I added the images, I added the words and it started to seem too easy. But then I thought it might be too simple. And I was enjoying the crafting purpose so I went a bit further. From my scrapbooking supplies I looked at some washi tape and masking tape and started to stick them down too but only using tape that gave meaning to vision board.
For example, I added a unicorn because it’s a reminder I can be magical and think big and just go for what I truly want. I also added some garden washi tape which highlighted the simple life and feel joy. And above the words money growth I actually used apartments washi tape, which I did tape over a picture I didn’t really like and felt the tape captured it better.
And then I thought, why not add some stickers. Some were more words and others were fruit and plants.
So if you have extra supplies of craft, use them! It’s so fun to really decorate your vision board as much or as little as you want. You can even use fabrics, buttons, ribbons, feathers, beads and much more.
