Vision Board 101

I have a sick obsession with vision boards. I make so many throughout the year! The reason I am constantly making new boards, however, is due to the fact that vision boards truly do help you to attain your goals. I have accomplished so many personal goals because of my addiction to vision boards and I'd like to share a little vision board 101.

Never make your vision board too big.

I'm not telling you to have small goals, by all means dream as big as you possibly can! What I am saying is that having a very large vision board and overwhelm you and make it seem impossible to accomplish all that you have posted on the board. Start small and when you are done accomplishing all of the goals on one board, make a new one.

Always make your vision board as specific as possible.

Don't just cut out pictures of beautiful islands with amazing sunsets and paste them on the board with a caption that says "Travel More". Pick specific places that you would like to travel to and go into detail about those places. Also, find pictures to place on your board that you believe directly describe the places that you would like to visit.

Set goals to achieve the life you desire

My main focus for 2013 is to create the life that I desire and one way I plan to do this is by setting attainable goals.

In 2011, I seriously began to set goals and to work on pursuing my dreams. I first began doing this in September of 2011 when I set out to obtain a GPA of a 3.7 at my new school. As time progressed and 2012 eventually came, I had accomplished that goal and I began to see that if I continued to set attainable goals and focus my time and energy on their completion, then it was entirely possible for me to live the life that I desired.
