Succeed with a Vision Board
A vision board is a visual representation
It’s a visual representation of things and circumstances we want to attract. I look at vision boards as a playground for my dreams. I have one hanging in my dining room so I can’t miss it. Mine consists of a white dry erase board filled with inspiring quotes, messages of gratitude, as well as the all important goals laid out on colorful paper. I pass by my vision board often, and I make a point to stop and reflect on it at least once a day. If I see my dreams and all that I have to be grateful for so far, then I am more apt to take action.
A vision board acts as a system
I’m all about systems. Although, I’d classify myself as a creative person, I’m tactical in my approach. Without a system, I’d be spinning in circles with an out-of-control mind racing from one thing to another. A vision board helps me to achieve my dreams in a logical, practical fun way.
A vision board is a road map
I would not be able to succeed at running a publishing company, maintaining an active blog, writing lesbian romance novels, holding down a full-time marketing job, and enjoying quiet moments with my family if I didn’t have some sort of road map to help me sort out the steps. When laid out in front of me, the necessary action steps become apparent. I know that to get from point A to point B on my road map, I need to do XYZ.
I’m a visual person. I need to see things clearly to understand them, to absorb them, to act on them. Many things are tossed into my path on a daily basis. Without the help of my vision board, these things could easily swallow me up whole and block me from enjoying a fine balance while achieving my dreams.
I’d love to hear from you… Do you use a vision board?
Wishing you the best,

Great idea, Suzie! I have one, but it isn’t nearly as vibrant as yours. I may want to add some splashes of color to it. 😉 Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Deone, I love the use of visuals. They have helped me keep my eye on all those goals I keep setting for myself:) And, yes, I agree, splashes of color create even more of a magical experience:) Blessings to you, Deone!
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
HI Josefina, Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Vision boards are like magic:) I’m a fan! Do you plan to put one together or are you already using one?
Have a great day:)
Hi Suzie,
Oh yes…I’ve one too, though just as Deone mentioned, it isn’t as good as yours. More so, we call it a pin-board our end where you can literally pin up anything you like. I don’t really put up my days task there, because they’re all lined up in my little head, though everything else does go onto it.
Loved those dogs – I guess they too wanted to be part of you and all that you do. 🙂
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day ahead 🙂
Hi Harleena, I love using visuals to cue me into action. It seems to be the thing that sticks for me. I first learned about using them through Tony Robbins. I’ve been using them for years now. I’m happy to report that I seem to check off most of these items over time. Have a great day! And thanks for chiming in:)
