THE POWER OF VISION BOARDS!
Entrepreneur magazine stated that, “there is’extraordinary power’ of visualizing success. All top performers, regardless of profession, know the importance of picturing themselves succeeding in their minds before they actually do in reality.” This is true whether you are a man, woman, child or young adult. They went on to provide these three examples:
- Boxing legend Muhammad Ali was always stressing the importance of seeing himself victorious long before the actual fight.
- As a struggling young actor, Jim Carrey used to picture himself being the greatest actor in the world.
- Michael Jordan always took the last shot in his mind before he ever took one in real life.
These top performers, among many others, have mastered the technique of positive visualization and openly credit it as a success tactic. A vision board is a simple yet powerful visualization tool. It consists of a poster or foam board of cut-out pictures, drawings and phrases of the things that you want in your life, or the things that you want to become. The idea behind this is that when you surround yourself with positive images of who you want to become, what you want to have, where you want to live and the things you are grateful for, your life changes to match those images and those desires (referencing Mind Body Green).
Whether you are creating a vision board, dream board, debt free vision board, faith board, travel vision board, or even a couples vision board, seeing your vision daily is motivation to “make it happen”! Every year I create a board with the my focus for the year and I post it where i can see it easily daily. I’ve posted it on my bedroom door so that I see it right before I set out to start my day. I even post post-it-notes of affirmations about my vision/goals on my bathroom mirror, or my refrigerator and I know people that post one on the dash of their cars. Whatever you need to do to stay focus, motivated, inspired, driven and reminded about what matters to you is key to manifesting your dreams/visions/goals. So much happens in the course of a day that we need positive reinforcements daily to stay the course and overcome distractions. Create your vision board to visualize and manifest 2017 as your year to live a greater life of purpose…to live a life you’ve too long dreamed of…to crush your goals like never before.
