Create A Vision Board For 2021
Though 2020 brought us things that none of us could have ever imagined, we got through it together and here we are, again, ready to look ahead to January 1st and the new year to come.
This New Year’s Eve & Day will look differntly than thos of the past, the time-honored tradition of making New Year’s Resolutions for the upcoming year is likely something that ALL of us will still do in some way.
There’s just something about the fresh feeling of a new year and all of the posibilities that come with it.
No matter what your resolutions are, a vision board is a wonderful way to stay on track and keep all of your hopes, dreams, and goals in plain sight!
Tips On Creating A Vision Board:
** DESIGNING YOUR BOARD **
- Fill it with anything that inspires and motivates you!
The purpose of your vision board is to bring everything on it to life. Start by thinking about what your goals are in the following areas: relationships, career and finances, home, travel, personal growth (including spirituality, social life, education) and health.
You don’t have to cover each area the same way, just take a mental inventory of what you want each of them to look like and write them down.
- Always handwrite your goals instead of typing them, there’s something energetic about actually handwriting your goals. From your goals and aspirations, think about what you want on your vision board. You’ll be amazed at how things just start popping up all over the place once you set the intention for what you want and how you want to feel.
You can add to or re-do your vision board, whenever it feels right. You can always leave blank space on your vision board so you can accept new things as they appear in your life, and add and rearrange during the year when you feel it.
Then, at the start or each new year, you can give the board a total refresh to get clear about what you want in the new year, ahead. Some things can stay and some have served their purpose, so they don’t make the cut.
** MATERIALS NEEDED:
* Any kind of board, if you’re new maybe start with a cork board or poster board from the hardware store, they run about a dollar. Try to find a bulletin board or something pretty you like to look at! Remember to have fun with your design!
* Scissors, tape, pins, and/or a glue-stick to put your board together.
* Magazines that you can cut images and quotes from or sites like ‘Pinterest’ to gather images or quotes from and handwrite them on your own or print them out
* (Optional): fun markers, stickers, or anything else you can think of to deck out your board.
**Most importantly, the stuff you want to look at every day. Photos, quotes, sayings, images of places you want to go, reminders of events, places, or people, postcards from friends and just about anything that will inspire you.
* Be sure to give yourself time to create the special board. Enjoy putting your creativity and heart into this emotional and inspirational project. Use a quite and special time, find the perfect place, and commit to making this something truly yours!
** MAKING YOUR BOARD **
Set the mood!! Turn the TV off, turn on some relaxing music., light a candle, and clear your space.
When it comes to actually putting your stuff on the board, it’s good to leave space in between each item because clutter can cloud the mind. However, while some may love (and need) that space, others may love the feeling of closeness and want everything to touch and overlap; If this is the case, then feel free to huddle it all together and overlap your objects. As for choosing what makes the final cut, lay everything out before you start finalizing your items on the board so you can get an idea of where you want everything!
**Trying new things is a common new year’s resolution!
