How to Make a Vision Board - Vision Board Examples - Creating a Vision Board
What if there was a way that you could completely transform your life in the span of 3 months or less? Would you do it? 2013 is here! Looking back on the last year, did you get everything out of it that you were hoping for at this time last year?
One of the major reasons people don’t get what they want, is because they’re not really clear in what it is that they want. So how do you find more clarity? You can start by making a vision board. And in this post, we’ll look at what a vision board is and why it’s so powerful, how to actually create a vision board, how to get your vision board to work, and some vision board examples.
I’ve created multiple vision boards over the last few years and without fail everything on each of them has come true. If you’ve ever had any struggle or trouble bringing your vision board into the physical actualization of your reality – this post is designed for you.
By the way, actually creating a vision board is the only way to get it to work. Most people will read this and never put it to use… stop wasting your time and just do it!
A vision board is a tool used to become more clear on what you would like in life, and to use it as a powerful visualization exercise to attract your wildest dreams (thus the occasional name, dream board). The concept is based off of the Law of Attraction and the hit movie The Secret, where “What you think about is what you bring about.”
A vision board is a representation of everything you’d like to have in your life. When you put those ideas out into the Universe, and you’re reminded when you see the vision board on a daily basis – you’re constantly attracting what you’ve placed on your dream board.
How to Make Your Vision Board Work
I did this interview with Certified Master NLP Coach George Ira Carroll, an expert on making vision boards who hosts workshops every year on how to create a vision board. I asked George a few questions including:
What works for you in constructing a vision board? What are some strategies that have worked for you?
Why do you think some people struggle with vision boards or why they don’t work for them?
Make sure to watch this entire interview if you want MASSIVE results when creating your vision board as there are nuggets here that aren’t discussed within this post.
How to Create a Vision Board
When you create a vision board, you find visual representations of what you want to have in your life that you don’t have now (or that you’d like to have more of) and put them all together on a single board. These could be magazine clippings, or printed out pictures, and you can paste them onto cardboard or pin them to something like a cork board. Then, you hang it in your room or somewhere you’ll see it often.
Here’s Some Ideas on How to Create a Vision Board
Break it down into major categories. It’s easier to look at what you’d like to have when you get specific. Some of the major categories you may consider may be: money, business, sex, relationships, health, fitness, travel and luxury.
What are the tangible things you’d like to have? Maybe it’s a new home, a camera, new furniture. Look at the things that you’d like to have that would be fun for you to have or would enrich your life.
What are the intangible things you’d like to have? There’s some things you just can’t measure. Maybe you’re looking for a sense of adventure, or more joy. Find images that would symbolize that for you when you’re making a vision board.
“MONEY” TIP: Find Symbols – Symbols may be more powerful for you in your creation and attraction process than anything else. If you’d like to be rich, what comes with that? The sweet sports car? Then find that, and put it on the board.
Get Specific Where You Can – Instead of just picking out the new home, get specific and pick out the home in the specific geography you’d like to live.
As mentioned above, two really easy ways to create a vision board are by cutting out magazine clippings and then actually gluing them to a piece of cardboard and hanging it up; or taking those clippings and pinning them to a cork board. When you do the cork board, it’s super easy to change and you can redo it as often as you’d like.
Maybe you don’t have room for your vision board? Here’s another possibility for you to create a vision board.
Pinterest is an awesome example of how you can create an easily malleable and changeable example of an online vision board. And, you can even categorize and create multiple boards for the different areas of your life that you’re working on. Mind Movies is another great way to create a vision board in the form of an actual short movie that you can play for yourself everyday.
Example of a Vision Board
Here’s a few really brilliant vision board examples I found from around the internet. You can also see a slew of others at the end of my video above.
How to Make Your Dream Board Come True
The greatest thing about a vision board is that it paints the basic picture for what you’d like to have in your life, and which direction you’d like to go. Because when opportunities present themselves, if you can recognize that it is in line with what you want… it’s easier to choose between the millions of possibilities that exist.
For a lot of people, that’s where the disconnect exists. They know how to make a vision board, and yet they wonder why half the stuff doesn’t show up.
They key here my friend, is action. The Universe may be a brilliant conductor in lining up all the right pieces for you – yet it is your job to recognize and capitalize on them when they come through.
Recognizing When to Take Action
For me, my vision board creates a lot of clarity. And when a possibility comes my way, I compare it to what I have on my vision board. If I can see how something would bring me closer to my vision, that’s when I take action and jump in head first. Otherwise, I keep moving.
Is money, more time freedom, or travel any of the things that you included on your vision board? What if you didn’t have to be tied down by your job, you could work anywhere in the world, and it was only a few hours a day? That would be nice, right?
It’s become a reality for me, and thousands of other folks; and it could be yours too. See, I spend about 2 hours a day writing blogs and sharing them on Facebook – which results in anywhere from $150-$2,225 a day. I know, crazy right? I thought so too when I started about 6 weeks ago – and now it’s a reality. Kinda like how this whole vision board thing works
It may or may not be for you, but at the same time I wonder how much the Universe had to conspire just to get you here? Just a thought!
