How to use your vision board 

There are several ways you can use your newly created vision board to help your goals, affirmations and aspirations come to life.

First, consider including your vision board in your daily self-care routine. You can take time for yourself every morning to look at your vision board. Meditate and use the images you’ve created to inspire your meditation.

You can do the same thing in the evening before you go to bed. Instead of scrolling through your phone in your bed, take some self-care time to look at your vision board and meditate on your vision again.

This isn't magic. It's shaping your thoughts and reinforcing your priorities. It's motivating. The last thing you’ll think about before you go to sleep will be what you want for your life. Isn’t that powerful?

When you create your vision board, you can also leave some areas blank to make room for some other things you might want. You’re always growing as a person. It makes sense that you’ll have new goals to develop over time. 

Another technique you can use is to speak your goals out loud. When you look at your vision board, speak affirmation of your capability to realize your goals. I am enough. I have all of the tools and resources I need to ……, I can do this. You can even incorporate speaking into your meditation if it works well for you.

You aren't "speaking your goals into existence" so much as reinforcing positive self-talk in your mind. Achieving your dreams is hard enough without a runaway train of negative self-talk to contend with.

 

One of the best ways to make your vision board work is to make sure you don’t just visualize it. You also have to take action! 

If you want to get your dream job, start developing the skills you need to succeed in this position. If you want to travel more, open a new savings account and set up automatic transfers every month. If you want to spend more time working out, add some dedicated time to your calendar for outdoor activities or the gym.

Finally, refresh your board when you feel the need to do so. You’ll know it’s time to refresh the board when looking at it. If it no longer inspires you the way it used to. Maybe your passion and desires have changed over time. Then it's ok to make some adjustments.
