Working with goals

Creating a vision board. Popular exercise from psychological perspective.

Why to make it?

➡️ It helps to understand your own desires, visualise them in detail, see the direction of your actions, feel if this is exactly what you need now, have a fun time creating, relax, declare what you want out loud, etc.

How does it work?

➡️Through the process of creation, you’ll feel as if each desire came alive. Therefore, only your true desires usually remain on the board. Then by looking at the vision board every day, you will gain better understanding why you are doing what you are doing now. The board will be your “For the sake of…”. It will add motivation, energy and inspiration. Which help you to define real goals and work towards their achievement.

In short, the collage will be the first step, a bridge to make your desires come to reality.

✨️It can also be done with family, partner or even friends, building your common dreams and having fun together.

Let’s do it! What do you need?🧚‍♀

There are 2 options: do it on electronic deice and print or make it immediately on paper.
For the electronic version you need: Canva (my favourite), google board or another program for creativity; PC/tablet (not so convenient on the phone, but you can download the Vision board app and try).
For the paper version: A3/A2/A1 thick paper, glue, scissors, magazines or previously printed pictures.

Process

1. Firstly is the best part – choosing the images.
   Ask yourself the question: “What do I want?” then look for the right pictures for everything that comes to mind.
   The main rule: wishes can be anything, no prohibitions (except the criminal law of course😁). Do you want to ski naked in the Alps?:) – well, that’s your vision board.
   My only advice: try to feel every desire, visualise it in your head in detail, as if you are already have it in your life.
   • At this point, do not glue pictures on the base paper yet, just select everything and put aside. If doing on electronic device, create a folder.
   • Important note: Try to see your desires as much real and detailed as you can. As if you’re planning, not fantasising.
     ✍For example, not “I want to travel a lot” and a photo of the road, but “I want to see Paris” and a photo of the Eiffel Tower. Or not “I want a good car”, but “I want a Mini Cooper countryman”, etc. If you want to add a more abstract desire, such as “I want to meet a partner for a romantic relationship”, then when choosing an image, it is better not to choose any with specific people’s faces, but an abstract drawing or photo from the back (the more it will remind you of yourself with a future partner, the better).
   • When you feel like you have remembered and chose pictures for all current desires, go to the next step.
2. Now your task is to make the collage. If you work on PC, you have a great opportunity to reduce/enlarge/change the image. If doing on paper, do not glue pictures right away, first make your ideal map of desires. Find a right spot for each image. You must really like it.
   Important: If on this stage you want to change some images or remove them – do it.💫Enjoy creative process. This is not an exam.:) By the way, you can turn on your favourite music; create a cool atmosphere for yourself. Postpone all matters, try not to be distracted. Take your time.
3. When the collage is ready, glue the pictures (or print in color) and it’s time to find a cool place for it. Where you will see your vision board regularly. Let it be your inspiration and motivation for the routine tasks of daily life.

I wish your dreams come true!💝

🌅Vision board is a lighthouse that will light the way, but you need to sail on it.
