VISION BOARDS

Here is an example of a Vision Board, I found online.

I stated on Facebook that I would give more details on how to create a VISION BOARD and why you need one. So, here I go. What is a VISION BOARD? It is a collage of visual images, words, and statements that represent the wishes, goals and desires that you will do the work to complete in a given, set, period of time. The time has to be set for you to know that you can not play small, and that you make yourself accountable to do the work and complete your goals.

Your Board will help you get focus, clarity and the physical plan to achieve your goals. When you place the words, pictures and statements on a Board, you will be able to manifest your dreams into reality. There is medical research that proves that what the brain sees, has a physical reaction on the body. Think about it. If you are one that likes sweets, what happens to you physically when you see them? Do you then have a craving? Do you remember what that thing tastes like? This is the same mental response that you have with the images you allow to affect you daily life. Come on now. Stay with me. Why shouldn't we allow children to watch say, violence, porn, wars, blood and guts, etc... This is the same in reverse for the effect that your VISION BOARD will have on your life. Many call it the Law of Attraction, but I call it simple science and physiology. 

Now that it is clear as to what a Board is and why you need one, let me talk about different types of Boards. I consider there to be 4 types of boards. 

1. The Concrete Board. Create this Board when you know exactly what your wishes, goals and desires are. You will be clear on what it is you want and what you believe you will have to do to get to the goal in the next 12 months and also 2- 5 years ahead. YES, I said 5 years. Remember, in 2014, we are not playing small. Truly successful people don't just think about the next week, the next 30 days or even the next year. While they work in the here and now, they plan for what actions taken now will set them up for the projected future. This Board is about making a plan for your best life as a whole and working that plan! Examples of topics for your Board are where will you travel, who will you spend your time with, what will you drive, where will you live, what work will you do, etc... I believe the most important item on this type of Board is how will your actions help others? The positioning of the items need to be strategic and placed in an manner that flows and allow your energy to move from the Board to your LIFE. Don't just consider the end result, but also add the steps along the way to get to the big ticket item. If you want to inspire others, what is the "thing" you will do to make that happen and place it on the board.
2. The Subject Matter Board. Create this Board when you have a particular area of your life you want to focus on and take action to advance. Perhaps you want to get married, have a child, move your child from public school to private school, take a trip with the girls, better your health and wellness, buy a new car, etc... Here you will pick one topic and build in reverse of the goal.
3. The Categories Board. This Board will focus on YOU and 4 to 6 areas of your life with a specific goal for each separately or congruently. For example, Love, Work, Faith, Health, Money, Family, etc... So position yourself in the middle and make a plan for success in these areas of your like.
4. The Changing Board. I HAVE TO START BY SAYING THAT I DON"T LIKE THIS ONE. Yet, I know some people need it to be successful in taking baby steps. I believe making this Board allow you to be lazy, indecisive, and in a state of fluctuation.  When in this state, what does this say to the energy fields you are attracting to your goals? It says, maybe I want you to show up, maybe you will work for me, but wait; I am not sure I even deserve my wishes, goals and desires, am I worth it, so don't work for me cause I don't even know that I deserve abundance in my life. So, let me say it to you. YOU DESIRE THE BEST LIFE OF YOUR DESIRES!. But if you have no ideal what that looks like now, I understand, and my arms are around you with hugs and my ears are open to guide you. I recently told a woman that instead of making a Board that she changes on a regular, make a different board and "to do" lists that see can freely add and remove tasks.  

So that is it. You have the game plan to create the visual and why you need it. Use pictures, glue, markers, cut out words, glitter, WHATEVER! Make it attractive, because you have at least 12 months to look at this things. Then place this physical Board in a place that you will see it; if not all day when you are awake, at least several times a day. You have to see it to attract the energy from it to accomplish the items on it. If you get stuck, need help, leave comments here or on the Facebook page of the same page.
