The Creative Power of the Vision Board
Have you ever heard of the wonderful and magical tool known as the vision board? If you've never had the chance to create one for yourself, perhaps you're pondering the process. Fret not, as you've landed in the perfect spot! Vision boards serve as a powerful method to harness the forces of the law of attraction, offering a multitude of benefits that could truly make a difference in your life.
Let's dive into the magical world of vision boards and explore the transformative power they hold in manifesting your dreams and desires.
Basically, a vision board serves as a map – a mind map.
It serves as a delightful reflection of what you desire to see manifest in your life, and what you aspire to create. This magical tool empowers you to take the vivid visions in your mind and lovingly place them on a vision board with the powerful intention of transforming your dreams and aspirations into concrete, tangible realities.
Creating a vision board is truly a magical practice that works wonders in decluttering your mind from self-defeating thoughts and banishing negativity. It serves as a powerful tool to uplift your spirits, providing a refreshing boost to your mental and emotional well-being.
Let’s indulge in a daydream where you are drawn to a particular destination, such as the enchanting Greek Islands. While physically setting foot on these picturesque islands may not be feasible at this moment, you can embark on a creative journey by immersing yourself in hands-on activities. By channeling your energy into tangible creations, you are taking tangible steps towards manifesting your aspiration of exploring the allure of the Greek Islands.
Flip through some old magazines and find images that speak to you.
You can also search the internet for captivating images of the islands and regions that ignite your sense of wanderlust. If you're in a particularly artistic mood, unleash your creativity by sketching and creating your own delightful drawings!
Take these images and drawings, and place them on a cork board or a white board. Arrange them in such a way that is visually appealing to you. This is a great opportunity to get in touch with your inner artist. You can also put quotes on your board.
Keep on going until your vision board feels complete to you.
Don’t worry about how long it takes you, just keep at it. Put on some music that inspires you while you create your board. Once it feels truly finished, place it somewhere that is easy for you to see on a daily basis. This will allow the images to take a stronger hold in your subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind is a very powerful ally!
Not only will your vision board help you to attract positive things and create positive change, it will also serve as a reminder of your goals and will keep your mind on the right track. You want to keep your focus on your goals and visions so that you can look back at them and smile one day. It’s truly empowering!
And if you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), creating a vision board is a fantastic way to help you get clear on what you need while helping you set boundaries with others. There is a great course for HSP's, The Highly Sensitive Person's Life Redesign. This course with Alane Freund (LMFT) will teach you coping mechanisms for over-stimulation and overwhelm, much like how creating a vision board can.
So, you have to collect the relevant images, and quotes, and write notes for yourself from the core of your heart. There are no rules to creating your vision board, other than ensuring everything you place upon it is true to what you wish to create. And you can, of course, create as many boards as you wish.
Your vision boards will help you to manifest outwardly, what it is that you desire inwardly.
Keep a positive focus, and listen to your dreams – both daydreams and the dreams that come while you sleep. I know many people who made adjustments to their vision boards based upon what came to them in their dreams. Don’t be surprised if your dreams become more vivid as you become more adept with your vision boarding, too. Check out my post on how to develop and maintain your inner creative drive here.
Have a blast as you dive into creating your vision board, and keep in mind that the universe is ready to conspire in your favor when your thoughts and emotions are in harmony. Enjoy the creative process and let your dreams take flight!
