Vision boards are an incredible tool for gain clarity and having a visual queue for what you want in life right in front of you. In my co-authored bestselling book, GPS Your Best Life (TM): Charting Your Destination and Getting There in Style with Charmaine Hammond, we provide steps for you to get clear on what you really want in your life and help you map out steps to achieve what is on the board. Charmaine and I refer to this as putting the wheels on your vision board and shifting into drive.
“A vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes time.
Vision with action can change the world.” – Joel A. Barker
There are several reasons a person should make a vision board:
- Clarity As you flip through images, pictures, and magazines, you identify what you like and dislike. You may resonate with pictures or be drawn to powerful words and phrases.
- Organize Your Thoughts Suppose you create a vision board for a couple areas of your life. You can organized your thoughts and really focus in on areas you want to improve.
- Visual Reminder When you have a visual reminder in front of you, you can look at it throughout the day to maintain focus on what it is you wish to be, do, or have. The vivid images will drawn you in and as you explain why you chose the images you did you will also discover your story. What you really want from your life!
- Emotional Connection When you select images than you have an emotional connection to, you are more likely to be motivated in your pursuit of achieving the goals you have set for yourself.
- Create a plan in mind. By creating your vision of what you want for your life, you are making a plan. Starting to put the wheels in motion for ideas and the ways you will achieve them – the dreaded “how”. I will tell you this, when you know your why and what you want to accomplish, the how will show up!
Once you have created your vision, you can breakdown the steps to get to where you want to go. Now imagine doing 5 steps each day to get to where you want to go – 1825 action steps toward achievement and success! You cannot help but naturally be drawn to your success. Consistency and action are the keys! You must take action but also share your vision with others. You never know who is ready to give you that hand up!
