Have you ever heard of a vision board? It is a collage to help you realize your dreams. It is a motivational device and source of inspiration to help get everything you want in life. If you’ve never made one before, you may think it is just some new age mumbo-jumbo. You would be wrong.
It is true visualization tools have a link to new age philosophy. The law of attraction reflects the concept “like attracts like.” It is the belief whatever we place in our mind, we attract into our life. Think along the lines of the Henry Ford quote, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”
Visualization and positive thinking works, regardless of accepting the philosophy behind the law of attraction. Studies have shown that successful people think differently than those who are consistently unsuccessful. Winners win because difficulties do not hold them back; they think about them as challenges to overcome. If one changes the way they think about a thing, that thing changes.
Both professional and Olympic athletes use visualization to improve their performance. They imagine themselves beating their best time, hitting a home run, or lifting their heaviest weight before taking the action. The process removes psychological roadblocks and limits, allowing the body to perform at its highest level. Are you ready to try it?
Making a vision board is easy. Think of things you want, and goals you would like to achieve. Get some poster board from a craft or office supply story. Then go through your favorite magazine or search the internet for pictures that either inspire you or reflect your goals. Now glue the images to the poster board, adding positive words and phrases. Finally, hang your vision board where you can see it often.
Everything ever created started as a thought in someone’s head. The vision board will work because it will keep your mind focused on your goals and desires. This focus will affect your decisions every second of every day. Your thoughts become actions, and those actions create the life you desire. What are you waiting for?
