During this pandemic it is not easy to have a clear idea of the future, sometimes I feel anxious and unmotivated.
To change my behaviour, I use three approaches: dream boards, to do list and journals.
Today I want to tell you about the dream board that is a collage of images, pictures, and affirmations of one's dreams and desires.
We are in a period of stalemate, but we certainly have more time to understand ourselves and to find possible solutions to improve our lives. Right now, it is crucial never stop dreaming!
Before creating your dream board, find a quiet and relaxed setting without any distractions.
Make a cup of tea or coffee and keep in mind that it takes approximately two hours in order to create it (especially if it’s your first time).
Take a pen and a piece of paper and think about what your goals are in the following areas: social life, career, home, health, education, travel, lifestyle and personal growth.
The purpose of your dream board is to bring everything to life. Give yourself a deadline to realize your projects (6 months or maximum one year).
Make a list of your specific goals (buy a dress of your favourite fashion brand, be hired in your desired company, start a balanced diet and reduce meat consumption etc...)
Think big, don't limit yourself, don't choose simple things that you can reach easily. Put yourself on the line and challenge yourself.
The next step is to look for quotes that will help you to stay motivated and focused and choose photos that will match to your dreams and goals. The last step is to put your photos and quotes together. There are many ways to create a dream board, I use collage app such as Canva or Inshot, but you can also print some photo and enjoy making it.
The aim is that by looking at it you then receive only positive vibes.
In my experience, when I am on the fence a dream board helps me to make decisions because it always reminds me what my plan is.
As soon as I’ve finished my dream board, I always decide to write a to do list.
I firmly believe that dreams only come true if you have the strength and the courage to pursue them and therefore it is crucial to create an action plan.
Ps if you are going through a hard time and you can’t imagine your future then you can prepare only a mood board using cheerful images, quotes and old photos where you felt happy.
