I made this digital version through funky.com with photos I found via Pinterest. You can always print it, frame it and hang onto your wall. Or grab your photos manually from various magazines of your choice.
A vision board is a collage of images, sayings, quotes and anything that helps you visualise your ideal lifestyle and who you want to be. Other than bringing you inspiration, having a vision brings clarity to your dreams and helps you stay focused when you get sidetracked or stressed. It reminds you what really matters for you in your life.
This collage can consist of categories from career, relationships, health, wealth, happiness, hobby and whatever you can think of that adds value into your life.
Finding your purpose is already tricky in itself when you don’t list out your interest. The first step to finding your purpose is to set an intention. Ask yourself, what do I want my life to look like in 1, 5 10 years time? What activities/skills/hobbies I would like to pursue that brings joy into my life?
Deepak Chopra suggests asking yourself two questions:
1. “How will this intention serve me?”
2. “How will it serve everybody I come into contact with?”
Chopra says, “If the answer to both questions can be distilled to true happiness and fulfillment, then you are on the right track.”
Benefits:
1. A vision board provides clarity on your dreams and make them into reality. By having these visualizations nearby helps with rewiring your brain to formulate more positive thoughts and starts to create a positive mental energy which in turn keeps the momentum going. When you are surrounded with tangible reminders of your dream, your life will change to match them.
2. When we’re feeling lost or filled with self-doubt, we tend to looks for answers outside of ourselves. Creating a vision board requires digging into your subcouncious allowing you to discover the deepest matters that mean most to you. This is called awakening your subconscious, only after looking inwards are we allowed to embrace our authenticity.
3. Having your dreams layout in a collage provides a sense of direction in terms of what qualities/attributes/personal goal you want achieved in a specific time frame. it’s a great reminder of your goals and dreams on a daily basis and extremely helpful when you find yourself stuck in a rut along the way. A visual reminder gives you the motivation to face those down times and get back into your feet.
