A Powerful Vision Board
A Powerful Vision Board is a useful means for visualisation practice.
People who understand the law of attraction will understand that thoughts become things. Anything that enters your life does so because of your thoughts. However, in order for such thoughts to take on real form, a conscious effort needs to be made many times both consciously and subconsciously in order to empower these with what you believe. It is not sufficient to simply think about something: you need to have belief. One way to develop such belief is the practice of visualisation.
A powerful vision board enables you to make use of the images which represent your goals, such as motivational quotations and various affirmations which allow you to focus on your desired achievements, and curate these into an array of dreams. A vision board will aid you in empowering your mental energy in order to effect and achieve the various goals that you have.
The following is how to create a vision board which will empower you.
Developing A Powerful Vision Board / Dream Board
There is nothing set in stone about how you should create a vision board, and each person is individually free to decide how to do this. However, it has become popular to use poster-board, cork board or a similar material in order to make your vision board, which can be obtained from any good professional arts supplier. You’re also free to make use of your own artwork and make use of whiteboards.
A virtual version of this can be set up on your computer by simply making and naming a file. Fridge magnets may also be employed in the kitchen, for people wanting to make use of this existing household resource. It’s really up to you how you do this.
Planning your Vision Board
You need to start by deciding what you want such a vision board to look like, and also which of your life targets you wish to address. This can be any future target, including health, self-growth, your career, relationships, education, your finances, your social life or your spiritual growth. Once you’ve decided on which particular aspect to focus on, you need to imagine what this will look like. It may be that your representation encompasses one large board, or a number of smaller boards may be more preferable to you.
It is important that you situate your vision board somewhere where you are often to be found, such as the bedroom. It may be useful to be able to see this from the vantage point of your bed. In this way you will be able to visualise your goals as often as necessary.
The Small Ritual You Should Follow
You should always observe a small ritual when crafting a vision board. Set aside a couple of hours at the weekend or in the evening which are free of stress to make your vision board. It’s important that you are not interrupted at such a time.
You may want to put on some soothing music or light candles whilst putting your vision board together; anything which creates an atmosphere of complete relaxation.
Do not let negative thoughts and feelings cloud your mind, and if any appear then take a few deep breaths and allow things to settle.
You can then begin work on your board.
Putting the Board Together Get hold of some discarded magazines and cut out any images which you may want to use to signify the feelings, experiences and possessions that you wish to have in life. These could be photos of travel destinations, smart cars or the ideal house you would like. Use pins or stick adhesive to assemble your board.
Be as creative as you like. Use scissors for cutting out quotations as well as images from any kind of useful print media. Use magic markers or post-it notes to illustrate and lay out the board.
You may want to incorporate photos of past events in your life such as your wedding day, holidays, conferences, etc., but make sure that these are all memories which instil a feeling or pride.
Add anything to your board which you think makes you feel inspired. These may include inspirational and positive quotations, mantras or slogans. Include how you wish you felt every day and on a daily basis, so “motivated”, “enthusiastic”, “joyful”, “loving”, “fearless”, “strong” and “healthy” are all good to have.
Decorate and redecorate your powerful vision board any time you feel like it and keep the board neat and in an orderly manner.
Wrap Up
Every day you should take at least five minutes to have a look at your vision board and visualise yourself in the future which you have created.
