A good way to help you do this is by creating a "vision board," which is a trending topic in success and entrepreneur blogs lately. It is as simple as putting pictures together of things/people that motivate you, a collage of sorts. You can be as creative and fancy as you want or just keep it simple by cutting and pasting pictures together on a poster board.
The point it not about the artwork, per se, it is about the motivation factor and about visualizing what you want in your life. It is about YOUR dreams, your goals, your desires, your joys. It is a "board" to look at that is visually appealing to you. It is not about making it attractive for someone else, it is about seeing pictures of what is going to motivate you on a daily basis.
When you are done with it, you can place it in your office, kitchen, bedroom, wherever you are going to see it often, so that it serves as a reminder and motivator.
I made my "Happy Vision Board" online using pictures of people I love, and quotes that inspire me! I used an app called, Pic Monkey, and simply chose the collage feature
and placed the pictures I wanted in the open slots. It is so simple,
it even gives you the option to choose your layout and the number of
pictures you can use. Remember, if you do not want to get technical on
the computer, simply paste some of your favorite pictures on a canvas or
poster board. I have chosen this online method and now I can use mine
as my background screensaver, as well as print it for visual
motivation.Whatever way you choose to create your vision board, it will be fun and it will serve as a daily reminder of what you should be grateful for and for the things you are striving for.
Here are some ideas for pictures:
- Pictures of your kids or grand kids;
- Vacation spot;
- Car or dream house;
- Dream job
- Pictures of your "skinny" self
- Pictures of people who inspire you
And here are some ideas of what your Vision Board can look like:
Now go get yourself a board bulletin or poster board and get started on your Vision Board to hang at your desk, your workspace, kitchen or a place where you will be inspired every time you look at it. Grab some magazines and aim for a few images that speak to you!
Good luck and have a great time!
