Vision boards are excellent tools that can help you gain clarity and focus on specific objectives you wish to achieve. These objectives may be associated with work, lifestyle, healthcare, love life, travel or anything an individual decides to focus on, and it serves as a visual reminder of the direction you should head towards.

A creative vision board can help you improve your understanding of what you wish to achieve and how you can get there. Vision boards typically consist of images, notes, or visual representations of your goals—big or small, private or public—but inherently personal. This useful tool can be used as a driving force to achieve your dreams.

To get started, you will need a bulletin board or a mount board, some scissors, pictures, sticky notes, and a glue stick. Create a visually appealing collage based on all the goals you want to achieve in future. Allow your emotions to guide you and be free. Try to work on your vision board without being watched or disturbed by anyone. Don’t judge yourself, and stick everything on the board. Check out six ways you can benefit from creating a vision board.

It can harness the inner power of your subconscious mind.

Creating a vision board can help activate the Reticular Activating System (RAS). In simple words, the RAS is part of your brain that helps “filter” all the “unnecessary information.” By developing a “vision” of what your ideal life should look like, you are communicating all your goals to the “RAS”, enabling it to navigate all the resources and opportunities that can assist you in attaining your goals.

Your RAS will take into consideration what you “focus on” and generate a filter, sifting through the information and concentrating only on the elements that are vital to you, activating the Law of Attraction.

It helps achieve focus and clarity.

The activity of designing a vision board calls for you to review your past and also the future while focusing on where you want to have or be. Gaining clarity on what you desire to achieve will empower you to concentrate on what matters to you the most, tapping into your energy and channelling it to focus on your dreams.

Keep your limitations aside.

Our busy lives often trick us into believing that our dreams and aspirations are beyond our control. A vision board will allow you to visualise your dream life for a moment, away from all the limitations.

Once you have a clear picture of all your deepest desires displayed on a wall in front of you, they may still appear unattainable and beyond your control. However, as time progresses, you may observe a striking change in your opinion of them and may eventually seem more achievable.

Develop a positive mindset.

A vision board is an excellent medium that can help boost your mood and help you develop a positive mindset. Be mindful and think about how each picture on the board makes you feel and how happy you will be after achieving them in the future.

Be more intentional

Creating a vision board can help you become more intentional about your life in general and day in particular, enabling you to focus on all your dreams and establish clear steps that can help you achieve them. It will enable you to prioritise your goals and be more intentional.

It can help destress

The art of crafting a vision board can help you enjoy some stillness amid your hectic schedule. Carving out some time from your busy routine to concentrate on a vision board will allow you some time to reflect on your thoughts, dreams and aspirations whilst keeping you occupied in a fun and creative activity.

A vision board derives its power from focus. Anything you focus on will grow and come true, as suggested by the law of attraction. Be mindful of your thoughts and train your brain to develop thoughts that align with your positive energy.
