Creating your personal Vision Board
The Vision Board is a visual representation of your goals and dreams—a powerful way to make your dreams and aspirations more tangible and attainable. When you first click on the Vision Board, it contains random pictures, each of which can be replaced by images or photos of your own to represent the steps you must take to reach your goals.
Images are important motivators. They inspire us, relax us, make us smile, and make us think. They can evoke all our senses, making our dreams come alive—we can feel, smell, taste, see, and hear them and imagine what it will feel like to reach them. For example, perhaps a goal of yours is to return to Italy where you first met your partner. We suggest you find a picture of the two of you on that original trip and use it for inspiration in realizing your goal to return. Include a picture of your favorite local delicacy and a picture of a friend you made who you’d like to revisit. The richer your pictures, the more motivating they will be.
It’s useful to break your larger goals into smaller, more manageable steps, each illustrated by a separate picture to represent the stepping-stones toward achieving them.
Inspiration: “To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.”
- Anatole France, French Novelist (1844-1924)
