Are Vision Boards all woo woo?

If you asked me 3 years ago to build a vision board and put all your dreams in a visual representation and you will transform your life – I would likely belch out in laughter, dismiss you and say that it’s all a bunch of Woo Woo – only for people who are into Alternative Spiritual Manifestation stuff!

I know goals as structured, put in a list and then pinned to a board that’s as visual as I would get.

I first discovered vision boards some 3 years ago when I had seen one hanging behind a very known leader in the Networking Marketing Industry she was presenting some online training and she would refer often that she had all her goals/dreams on her Vision Board, I didn’t think much about it at the time but then she would bring it up again some months later to say that she had to amend her Vision Board because she had achieved one of her goals and needed to make a bigger goal, again I dismissed it.

But then I was in conversation with some other successful leaders who were smashing goals and found all of them had a commonality, they all had Vision Boards.

I then began to take a closer look and in fact attended an online vision board making class, where we would share our Dreams and then portray them in a Visual Image that we could connect and relate to.

Over the 3 years, I have adjusted and amended as I learnt more and more on the importance of having a very clear vision of what you want more of in Life, but it was not just about material things it was more it was the feeling and emotion behind it and I soon learnt that the image should not be any image you needed to have a deep emotional attachment to really feel into what you want /desire more of it was the Visual Goal and Outcome all in one! For the first time in 3 years, my Vision Board which I put together in 2019 was one that I had connected to the most since I started my journey of Vision Board and I put this down to each image truly connected to me. I can say that I would see my board every day and visually see my outcomes represented therefore connecting to my subconscious mind.

From everything that I placed on my board I had achieved my Financial Goal/ my Work / Business Goal / my Travel Goals plus more, of course, there are some goals I have not yet achieved and that’s because some are beyond 2019

So if you are looking to make big changes in your life? vision boards could be one tool to not only help you gain clarity of your dreams and desires but it also will help you bring it to visual life.

Transforming any area of your life isn’t always easy. Although you may start out with high levels of motivation, it’s easy to lose it along the way.

Vision boards are just one tool to help you to keep sight of your goals, and done right can increase your chances of achieving them.

So if you have heard about Vision Boards and Like I once thought it's only for people who are into Alternative Spiritual Manifestation stuff, then you may want to think again… there are many very successful people who use Vision Boards in fact a recent study shows 1 in 5 successful entrepreneurs use vision boards, and the results are backed by Neuroscience

Vision Boards are a Tool to Support and Help with the Visualization Process because people experience and construct the world based on what they experience visually. It follows then, that if you want to change how your reality is constructed, a good start would be with the Visualization of a Different reality

Here 5 ways vision boards can help you with Visualization and transform into the new you.

1. Helping you to stay focused

In order to achieve any goal/outcome in your life, you need to be able to stay focused. The more focused you are on achieving something, the more likely it is you’ll reach it. Vision boards can really help you to stay focused on the goals you’ve set.

So many people don’t realize the true potential they have inside themselves. When you start to adjust your focus on achieving a personal or business goal, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can achieve it. Absolutely nothing will stop you if you stay focused.

A useful tip here is to focus on just one goal at a time. This will allow you to use up all your focus on achieving that one thing. This is so much more beneficial and effective than focusing on several things at the same time. 

2. Keeping you motivated & inspired

Another important element for transforming your life is motivation but more importantly inspiration. Without it, you’re more likely to fail than you are to succeed.

Vision boards can really help to boost your motivation as well as your focus. As you look at the board each day, it will remind you why you are making changes. Provided you’ve used the right images and materials, it will inspire you to carry on, even when it’s difficult.

3. Helping you to believe your dreams are possible

Often, one of the main things which hold us back in life is self-doubt. For example, you may want to lose weight, but you’ve so far been unsuccessful. So, you start to believe subconsciously that it’s an unachievable goal.

When you create a vision board, it helps you to develop an emotional connection to your dreams. You’ll start to believe the changes you want to make are possible. This makes a huge difference in the likelihood of success.  

4. You can use them to transform all areas of life

The most common vision boards are those which focus on major life goals. However, did you know you can use them to transform all areas of your life & business?

Perhaps you’re looking to quit smoking, or you simply want to get healthier. Whatever personal transformation goals you have, a vision board can help you to achieve them. The goals don’t have to be huge. Whatever you need help to change, a vision board will give you the focus, motivation, and commitment to succeed. This is also true for business – visually seeing that $$ amount on your bank account or a written cheque could be the image that you could emotionally attach to for your business

5. Easily monitor your progress

It’s impossible to make changes without monitoring your progress. In order to stay focused and motivated, you’re going to need to see continuous progress. If you don’t, it’s going to demotivate you and potentially cause you to give up on your goals.

As well as looking at the vision board every day, you can keep a journal to keep track of your progress. Commit to writing down the steps you’ve taken to achieve your goal and the progress you’ve made so far.

These are just some of the ways vision boards can help you to transform your life and or business. Whether you’re looking to quit smoking, lose weight, gain more financial freedom or simply get healthier, a vision board can increase your chances of success.
