Vision boards are common goal-attaining tools. I love to spend time cutting out pictures,
images, and words that represent who I am and who I aspire to be. Pulling out my rubber cement and making a
collage from all the pretty images is both sticky and fun. This year, when thinking about making a
vision board for “Falling Madly in Love with Life” I hit a bit of a snag. If the goal is to embrace and see the best in
everything I already have and am, then how can I make a board of what I aspire to be?
Here is what I came up with:
I will have two vision boards. The first board is the “Falling Madly in Love
with Life” board and it is a celebration of my life now. The board contains not only images of my
current life, but also images and words that evoke gratitude and a sense of
awe. Anything that helps me feel like an
incredibly talented, beautiful, blessed woman goes on this board. This board is a reminder to embrace all that
is fabulous in the moment.
When life feels sluggish or downright difficult, this board
can bring a smile to my face. When I’m
annoyed and feeling less-tha-luminous, my board can remind me of all the
amazing parts of life.
The second board is a traditional vision board and it
exemplifies all the wonderful places my current fabulous life will lead. I know that as I appreciate my body and all
the wonderful work it does for me, I will want to take better care of it by
eating healthier and exercising it. This
natural evolution leads to the lovely, healthy lean physique on my traditional
vision board.
The two boards work together. One evokes gratitude, joy, and the importance
of tending to what matters. The other
lifts and inspires when I’m feeling lazy or lethargic. It helps me remember where I am going and how
I’ll get there.
Try the two vision board route! Again, it doesn’t matter if they are on
canvas, paper, or in an electronic file.
The important part is finding visual images that stir and excite!
