How To Make A Vision Board That Works

A vision board, also known as a dream board is a visual representation of the things you want to attract to your life.

1. Be true to your passions.
Before you make your vision board make a list of all the things you want to attract. Use images that represent what it is you want to attract. If you put a giant mansion on your dream board, but what your heart really wants is a quaint cottage in a woodsy area you are going against what you really want. Even if something seems silly, it isn't. Those are probably the things that matter most.

Don't put things that people or society tells you you should have, stick to your gut and heart, by only adding the things you truly desire.

2. What you are already grateful for.
Family, friends, accomplishments and other things you are grateful and proud of should be included.

3. Believe
Only put the things on your dream board you believe will happen or come to you. If you put a picture of a yacht, but think "I can never have that boat" you are only doing a diservice to yourself. You will most likely focus on the thing you can't have rather than the other items on the board.

4. Include You.
It wouldn't be much of a vision board without a photo of the main attraction...you! Add a picture or two to the board that represent a time where you felt happy, beautiful or inspired. Maybe a picture of your most memorable birthday as a kid or a day where you accomplished something (graduated, won an award).Whatever feeling you want to attract more of put it on there!

5. Focus on the feeling.
If you pick a picture but don't like the look of it or the feeling its gives you, don't use it! Focus on the feeling of the photo rather than what the image is specifically depicting. An image can evoke different emotions depending on the person If the image evokes a bad feeling or reminds you of a past problem don't use it.

6. Change it up.
A dream board represents a specific set of passions you have for yourself at that time. When you're passions change and your focus shifts to something else you want in life, change your vission board at that time as well.

When you look at your dream board it should evoke a feeling of happiness, inspiration and positive thinking.
