Do you have
a vision of where you want to be five years from now? One year from now?
Perhaps you are seeking financial freedom, improved health or some other
project you have always wanted to accomplish. What does your roadmap toward
success look like? A vision board is one way plot your goals.
What is a
vision board? It can take on whatever for you want. Grab a poster board, cut
words pictures, quotes from magazines and use them to create a visual map of
what you want to achieve.
My teen son
said, “Ma, I need to apply to some more colleges. Time is starting to wind
down.”
My response
was simple, “Yep.” His senior year in high school is coming to a close. I have
been emphasizing for quite a while to my son, the need to prepare for the next
stage of his life. He had to come to the realization on his own. So here we
are.
“Let’s work
on a new vision board,” I said. My words fell on deaf ears for about a month.
While my son has been applying to colleges, he didn’t really have a plan. His
approach was random, he knows he wants to go away to school, but I felt he
should be checking more details. Have a plan A and B. He began his vision
board.
Why create a
vision board? Here are three reasons (you may come up with even more):
1. Provides direction for your life
2. Makes you accountable to yourself
3. Creates positive self-awareness
The key to
effectively using your vision board is to place it in a spot where you will
look at it every day. If your vision board is based on one year, after six
months access where you are with the goals you’ve set. Do you need to do
something differently to get to achieve the result(s) you want?
Have you
ever created a vision board? Let your creative juices flow, have fun, and plot
out your goals.
