Maybe you have heard that vision boards are a great tool to help achieve your goals but are put off by everyone talking about vision boards and the Law of Attraction. Do vision boards feel a bit too ‘woo woo’ for you? Or maybe you are fed up of hearing of people manifesting things from their vision board and think it is a load of rubbish.

In this post, you’ll find out why even if you don’t believe in the Law of Attraction a vision board is still a great tool to help you achieve your dream and why you should consider making your very own vision board.

 

 

What is a vision board?

A vision board (sometimes referred to as a dream board) is a visual representation of what you want to achieve and the life you desire. It is traditionally created by gathering a collection of words and pictures and then pinning them to a pinboard.

 

Now that you are clear on what a vision board is, it is time to dive into why it is a great tool for achieving your goals or dreams.

 

1 – Creating a vision board will help you to get clear on what you really want

One of the biggest reasons people don’t achieve their goals or dream is because they don’t take the time to get clear on what they truly want. The process of creating a vision board will help you to get really clear.

Before you start gathering words and images you will need to write down your goals or at least a list of things you imagine you in your dream future life.

The process of having to sit down and think about what you want to put on your board will help you address what you really want in your life.

 

2 – A vision board will help you set goals across all aspects of your life

Whereas goals can focus on certain aspects of your life a vision board should help you to develop a holistic view of the life you want to create.

A great tool you can use to ensure you consider the different aspects of your life is ‘The Wheel of Life’. Here is an example of ‘The Wheel of Life’.

As you can see from The Wheel of Life above numerous different parts of your life are mentioned. Normally the tool is used as a way of helping someone to reflect on how they feel about different aspects of their life by marking how happy they are from 0 – 10.

However, the tool is also great to use when setting goals or creating a vision board. Consider the different parts of your life and rather than assessing your current feelings think about the future and how you would like to look in relation to each area of your life. Then you’ll need to find words and images to support that vision. If you do this for each area you are likely to create a well-rounded vision for your future.

Now, of course, you can use The Wheel of Life for writing down your goals. However, that could easily lead to you having a long list of goals. However, you can easily have one board that encompasses everything without it becoming overwhelming.

 

3 – It is a great daily visual reminder and will ensure you keep your goals top of mind

When it comes to achieving goals there are a few steps you need to take: decide what your goals are, take actions to achieve your goals and then achieve your goals. So often people will decide on their goals and then forget them. Life takes over and months later they haven’t taken any actions to achieve their goals.

A vision board is a great way to keep your goals top of mind because you can quickly look at your vision board and be reminded of all the things you want to achieve.

A vision board is just one way you can ensure you don’t forget your goals. You can find out other ways to ensure you remember your goals by reading How to Keep Your Goals Front of Mind.

 

 

4 – You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Even if you don’t believe in the Law of Attraction what do you have to lose by creating a vision board?

Let’s examine the worst case scenario. You spend a few hours thinking about what you want in the future, create a list of goals or keywords, cut up some magazines and create a board that is now hanging up somewhere you can see it daily. You have lost a few hours of time creating the board, a small piece of space within your living space and the amount of time you decide to look at it on an ongoing basis.

Now let’s examine the best case scenario. You create the vision board and you spend a little bit of time looking at it every day. The Law of Attraction is real and all of your dreams come true!

I don’t know about you but it seems that you don’t have a lot to lose, but you have a lot to gain.

 

That’s it! 4 reasons why you should create a vision board even if you don’t believe in the Law of Attraction.
