1- What you will need- Choose the
supplies you like. You need a poster
board, push pins or glue, magazines, and
a computer is helpful. I prefer thicker
foam board but choose what fits you best.
"Vision gives you the impulse to make
the picture your own." Robert Collier
2- Find images, words, numbers,
quotes, and phrases that attract you-
Skim through magazines and marketing
pieces. Pay attention online. When
something jumps out causing a positive
emotional reaction, cut it out, and set it
aside. Initially you may choose many.
Compare to weed the pile down.
"A vision is not just a picture of what
could be, it is an appeal to our better
selves, a call to become something
more." Rosabeth Moss Kanter
3- What is missing- As you browse
images ask what part of who you are or
who you aim to be is missing. Seek other
sources such as photographs or use the
computer to print a meaningful word,
number, phrase, or quote. Represent big,
small, long and short term goals.
"The question is not what you look at,
but what you see." Henry David Thoreau
4- The finished product- Create the
collage in a way that expresses you. Your
goals are now represented visually. When
you glance at your vision board it should
feel complete and authentic to you. Some
images may seem far off and others a
small stretch. Every image should induce
a strong positive emotional reaction and
sense of excitement. As you browse the
images fully experience them. Hold that!
"The whole world steps aside for the man
who knows where he is going"Anonymous
5- Keep your vision board in view to
experience daily- Place your collage
where you see it regularly. Notice it.
Experience doing, having, giving, or being
what the images represent. Use your
senses to hear, see, smell, feel, and taste.
At a tropical resort you hear ocean waves
crashing upon the beach. You feel the
ocean spray and the subtle breeze
spreads the essence of a nearby fire pit.
You observe around you the peaceful
grace of majestic swaying palms and
sailboats gliding in the distance. Get the
picture? Feel it. Experience it. Ignite
action!
Another option is to use a visual image. I
once had a caller in a teleclass who
throughout her childhood hung a bridle on
her bedroom doorknob representing her
dream to have a horse. She later owned
a ranch with many horses. The visual
image held her dream until it became
reality. Vision map videos are available
as well but you have to be willing to
watch it regularly. They are effective for
marketing.
So what are you waiting for? Begin. Begin
to allow what is most important to you.
Give it a face. Give it an experience. Give
it life. Bring fully the vastness of your
abilities one step at a time… StartingNow!
As you continue to be unlimited~
