How many of us had good intentions as we created our New Year’s resolutions for this year? Many of us have them written down on a list and filed away or taped to the refrigerator. This is why the latest research shows us that 97 percent of us do not keep our resolutions. Don’t you think an opportunity to change your life for the better with greater health and happiness deserves a little focus, fun, and creativity?
Begin the next year with a vision board for your life. Images have a powerful effect on our mind, thoughts, hope, energy, and behavior. You physically looking at tangible images will inspire you to move in a new direction.
Vision Board Tips
Let’s look at how to create a vision board by answering the following questions.
- Health. Do you want to create a healthier mind and body? If so what would that look like? If you want to take a yoga class, begin to walk daily or meditate, then put a photo of these things on your vision board. Do you want to be stronger or lose weight?
- Relationships. Do you want to end or create a new relationship? Do you want more friends? Do you want to create a tribe of friends that meet regularly?
- Work. How do you feel about your career? How do you feel about your co-workers or work environment? Want a change? What does that change look like?
- Home. How does your home environment feel? Do you love your home? Does it nourish you? Do you have your favorite colors surrounding you along with your favorite things such as books, art, and your animals?
Hanging Your Vision Board
Where are you going to put your vision board?
- Your Office. Where you can be reminded daily.
- Your Bedroom. You will see your goals first thing in the morning and last thing at night, so they will implant in your mind.
- The Kitchen. This is a public place where you can see your goals regularly, and your family and friends can support you publicly on your yearly goals.
