Thinking Positive and Vision Boards

I know, I know, you think vision boards are weird, strange, new age-y or just plain stupid and a waste of time.  I’m here to say – not so much.  Vision boards are just a concrete tangible form of visualization and visualization techniques have been used for many years.  Professional athletes frequently use visualization techniques to improve their performance, as do many stage/screen performers, musicians and business people.  A vision board is merely a pictorial  representation of our wants and our goals.

Why am I bringing this up now?  It’s simple, really.  I’ve made several vision boards, on paper, on a bulletin board, and even a video set to music.  The other day I looked at my vision board and realized that I’d actually achieved quite a few of the wants/goals that I’d put on there.  Granted, I don’t have the bazillions of dollars that I want, or the McMansion of my dreams, but  when i look back at all the things I wanted that I did get, I know those other things are coming.

Why not make a vision board of your own?  It’s not hard, plus it’s a chance to play with scissors and glue and even glitter if that’s what makes you happy.  Take a few minutes, flip through some magazines and find some pictures that represent YOUR goals.  Put them on a piece of poster board, or a bulletin board and focus on them.  Really focus!  See your self with that new car, or the camera, or the super duper computer, and KNOW and BELIEVE that it’s going to come to you, because if you believe it, it will.
