Vision Boarding

A wonderful tool that I use with my clients is vision boarding and mind mapping. By encouraging my clients to do a vision board it not only brings their goals to reality it also serves as a tool for accountability.
What is a vision board? A vision board is a collage of motivational quotes, pictures, magazine clippings, articles, etc anything visual you can think of to bring your goals to reality.

Not only do I encourage my clients to do them I do them as well. The first thing that I do prior to starting my board is getting in a quite space so that I am able to focus. I start out by identifying a vision statement for example. I will start an exercise program a few times per week in order to lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight.
Once I have created my vision statement I then start to bring it all together. I use several steps to create this board.

1. Put First Things First – Map out exactly what is going to go on the board (pictures, quotes, timelines, etc).
2. Begin With The End In Mind – Decide how I want the goal to manifest itself in the end (themes, stories).
3. Whatever you decide to use (poster board, cork board, journal) glue your pictures, quotes, themes, timelines, etc on the board. This is where you become very creative through writing, painting, coloring, whatever feels good to you. Themes can be Spiritual, Health/Wellness, Career, Recreational etc.
4. Optional put a picture of you in the middle of the board.
5. Make sure it is where you can see it daily.
