Goals: Creating a Vision Board

In my last post, I stated the practical that you must have long term and short term goals and they must be clearly defined.
Today, we talk about visualizing your goals in the form of a "vision board". Visualization of your success is important, so what is a vision board? It is a visual representation of your goals, ideal life and dreams in the form of goal-setting and visualization. You create it by cutting out pictures from magazines which best show whom you want to become and which way you wish to live. This creates clarity and focus on your goals and it is an excellent reminder of how your precious time is to be spent.

How to create a Vision Board:
1) Get the stuff you need to put it together.

Sort of like a scrapbook..so glue, clippings, pictures, poster board, etc.

2) Cut stuff up.

Get some magazines and cut out some pictures of what you visualize as your dreams or desires.

3) Glue it on.

Take some poster board and glue the clippings to it. You can organize it, perhaps by theme (travel, wealth, health, etc) or make it all random like a collage. However you want your life to look like ONE YEAR FROM NOW is what you want to put up there. Focus on your top 3 to 5 goals (desires) and don't put anything up that doesn't feel right.

4) Touch it up.

Find a nice, happy photo of yourself and add it, and put inspiring words up about who you are and what you strive to accomplish.

5) Hang the thing.

Make sure it's hung somewhere where you can see it daily so you have some direction to where you are headed in life.
