New year, new vision!!! Where is your vision board??? xoxo

What is a vision board? A vision board is a place where you can pour out the desires of your heart. Things you want to achieve, things that make you happy, things that challenge you to be a better person and so much more. It could either be a large board or wall which has a collection of thought provoking images, statements and single words.

Habakkuk 2 verse 2 – 3

  ²Then the LORD answered me and said,
         "Record the vision
         And inscribe it on tablets,
         that the one who reads it may run.
 ³"For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
         It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail
         Though it tarries, wait for it;
         For it will certainly come, it will not delay. 
Habakkuk 2 verse 2 – 3 instructs us to write our visions on a board plainly, so that we can be reminded to strive for our goals and a day will surely come that they will manifest.

Before you begin, it is important you take the time to ask yourself what you want. This may sound easy but some people have no idea, so take the time to search the desires of your heart. I recommend you have a notepad and pen close by so if you mind becomes flooded desires you can empty them onto the notepad. My vision board consists of things that are important to me, family, God, friends, statements of affirmation health and fitness; it also consists of who I want to become, what I want to achieve, things I want to purchase, places I want to visit etc.

When putting together your vision board it is important you put a combination of short, mid, and long term goals! This is because it will encourage a continuous cycle of success.

Once you have a clear idea of what you want begin to collect as many magazines as you possibly can, try not to limit yourself to one specific kind, variety is good! Tips - Fashion, Property, Cookery, Financial and travel brochures. 

Things you need, A) Pin board B) Drawing pins, sellotape or pritt-stick C) Scissors D) A stack of magazines.

Step 1: Go through your magazines and tear the images from them. No gluing yet! Just let yourself have lots of fun looking through magazines and pulling out pictures or words or headlines that grab your attention. 
Step 2: Go through the images and begin to lay your favourites on the board. Throw away any images that no longer feel right. You are now creating the body of your board so refer to your notepad for the guidance of your hearts desires.  As you lay the pictures on the board, you’ll begin to know how you want it to look; an example would be assigning a theme to each corner of the boar or you may just want your images all over the board. 
Step 3: Say cheese! Yes, this is optional of course; but adding a photo of you to your vision board could bridge the gap between a fantasy and a reality.
Step 4:  Time to stick everything down and anything else you would like; i.e. scriptures, catchphrases, statements of affirmation etc... You can paint it on, or stick blank pieces of paper on your board and write it on with markers! It’s up to you. 
Step 5: Hang your vision board in a place where you will see it as often as possible.
