The Law of Attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on.
A huge part of the Law of Attraction is setting your goals and taking action to achieve them - that’s where vision boards come in. Creating a vision board for manifestation can help you to achieve all of your goals.
You know how when you decide to get a new car, you see that particular make and model everywhere you go? That’s because you have put your attention on something specific, and are unconsciously scanning the world for items that match it. It’s not that those cars were never there; it’s simply that you never noticed them before.
So it makes sense then, that if you put your attention on the images in your vision board (e.g. pictures of your future business, holiday or house, how you want to feel) that the energy of that thing will more likely be in your awareness.
The more you surround yourself with the things you want to experience, the more you’ll actually get to experience those things in your life, because energy goes where attention flows.
“What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.” ~ Oprah
Follow the steps below on how to make a vision board
1. Get clear and specific
Do you need vision board ideas? The process of choosing what to put on your vision board is simple yet meaningful.
Write down the answers to the following to help you create a vision board for a better future:
What do I want my life to look like a year from today?
What goals do I want to accomplish and why?
What makes me internally happy?
What does success look like?
How do I want to feel?
2. Create a script
Now write down a day in your life from your vision. Write it down like it is currently happening to you now. An example is scripting your perfect day. When you wake up what does your room look like? What do you feel like?
What do you eat or drink? What are you excited about and what are you celebrating?
2. Get creative with your vision board
Now that you’ve reflected and have a vision in your mind of what you want to create, it’s time to visually create specific themes that matter to you. It may be helpful to use these categories as a base; relationships, career, finances, home, travel, growth (including spirituality, social life, education), and health.
Also, focus on the emotions; it’s about how you feel when you achieve this thing, not just the things you want.
Now choose your format; you could go old school with a corkboard and cut out images and words from magazines.
OR, you could create a digital vision board. I like doing this as I can keep all of my vision boards to look back on and it’s easier to source inspo images. Create your digital vision board for your future self here.
3. Take action on your goals
Now that you’ve finished your board, make sure you have it somewhere you can see every day. I like to make it into my homepage background on my phone and laptop.
But things won’t come to you, just because you’ve put up some pictures. You need some aligned action.
Write down what steps you need to achieve these goals and have it somewhere handy (e.g. your phone notes, or your journal) so that you can regularly review them.
