Any Vision Board fans?

I just wanted to add that a year ago, when I started my board, I only cut out images and thought about what I wanted on the board. I bought two large foam core boards and put them together to make one huge board - my dreams are too big to fit on just one foam core board! What's new for me now, one year later is that I am gluing the images on... committing to my vision and will post it on a wall so that I see it first thing after I wake up. I want my vision to drive my goals and keep my goals alive for my new online business.

This got me to thinking... Are goals a subset of one's overall vision?

What has worked really awesome for me are mind movies. You should check that out.

I hope this helps

A vision board is something i need to do.I believe anyone who wants to achieve their goals needs to include A vision board.

I've put together something on my computer, but I haven't made a physical vision board yet.

I see the value in having a vision board or vision book/journal for times when I don't have the computer on.

I also use mind movies, works really great.

A vision board is powerful, I have one right by my desk, I manifest a few things from it but not the very big things I'm looking to attain, but I know they will show up shortly :0)

Give your vision board a try and let us know how it goes, I will say order robb report it an awesome magazine and Pics you can put on your vision board...

Ok, so the mind movie, I think is a lot cooler than the vision board because you put affirmations and music to your pictures, so you attract things a lot faster to your life. You can check in youtube mind movies and they will appear so you can see what I mean.

And mind movies is a brand so you can buy their software so they can show you how to make your own in one day.

Hope this helps

Great post. I did this three years ago and achieved everything on my board in less than a year. At the time I wished I would have put bigger goals on it. I keep meaning to do a new one but I've been procrastinating. That's a good project for this week as I am doing all of my organizing and maintenance work this week.

Hello Cynthea,

Yes. I am.

They work for me so well, it's kind of scary. John Asaraf is a passionate advocate of VBs. I think they help in making the goals or visions more ''real'' and that may affect our level of motivation positively. It's probably no longer an intellectual thing, when we can ''see'' our goals/visions.

Thanks,

I have my own vision board. I download a bunc of picture from the internet, photoshoped them, created a diaporama and watch it 3-4 times a day, normal speed and fast speed. The emotions are great. I love it. (and it's cheap.)

The only thing that I found with Vision board was that I could not get into the right emotional state. I therefore took the images and turned them into a mind movie and now I seem to be moving forward.

I'm going to create a vision board for the next couple of months. (Exciting times.)

Definitely use a vision board as you can think of it as your treasure map to success. I'm slowly redoing mine but having issues getting some of the right types of pics and text i want on there. dreamstime is a good source of premium royalty free images as well.

I started using mind movies and a vision board about a year ago. In that time I have achieved many of my goals that were on the board and in the movie.

I have read Think and Grow Rich probably 100 times now and every time I do something else jumps out at me.

Some of the biggest results though have come from writing down 5 affirmations and repeating them outloud for 5 minutes each every day. I have found through personal experience that if I repeat them after meditating, to relax my mind, focused only on breathing, for at least 15 minutes they have more of an effect on my mind and I stay focused better all day.

This process, for me, has brought faster results and more clarity in my planning, focus and daily actions. Try it yourself for 90 days, every day, and you will be amazed at how fast it will bring changes to your life.

I've never used vision boards.

However, I'd like to share a very real result I witnessed being achieved. Some years ago, a friend cut out photographs from magazines and pasted up her board. Among other things, she had a photograph of a gas stove on there.

Interesting thing- this was not the specific model she wanted....she just wanted a gas stove. Lo and behold, less than a year later, she had a gas stove...and it was the EXACT model and colour that she had on her board!

Presumably they work...

Funny to run across this thread now. I just printed out and hung up a picture above my desk of something I plan to acquire in the near future here. Trust me it does help, a great tool to help you focus your thoughts and stay on track.

If having a vision board in front of you on a regular basis inspires you, I say go for it. If it doesn't, and instead reminds you of how far you've got to go before you get there, then do not do it. It will do more damage than good.

Personally, I don't use vision boards, because they're created by my conscious mind, which basically is clueless as to what incredible, amazing things are possible for me. I do visualize however - but only on things that make me feel wonderful.

If the visualization feels like work, it's pointless. I think this is why so many people get discouraged in this "LOA" process. They focus on what they think is possible - NOT on what lies closest to their heart; what they truly should be focusing on.

Just my 2c.

"...I had a profound realization that I had let go of many of my dreams..."

Cynthea, that happens so easily and to so many of us due to the pressures and immediacy of day-to-day existence and survival...and we grow old and wistfully reminisce about that which we had wanted to achieve, but somehow these dreams never realised.
They just quietly evaporated like mist before the morning sun, leaving a melancholy memory of that which could have or should have been. This life and the opportunity for growth (as soul) is so fleeting, that to abandon our dreams is tantamount to criminal negligence! (Unlike "earth" criminality, the victim here is oneself!)

This need not be so....and using any one of a number of powerful techniques, like a vision board, our dreams can be realised.

Thanks for your post- you refreshed something that I had lost sight of!

@ gr8tocr8 : The conscious mind (as you describe it) is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. Like any tool, it can be employed for good or bad and all shades in-between. For most people, the tool is the only thing they are aware of and it is firmly in the driving seat of their existence!

The trick seems to be not to let the tool create the dream....properly, that is the province of the deeper self/soul/whatever term works for you....the mind is merely the powerful instrument employed to develop and bring that dream/image into manifestation in this world.

So, if the underlying content on a vision board is indeed created by the mind, I'd tend to agree with you. However, if this content stems from a deeper place, then the vision board becomes a potent aid to the conscious mind in it's job.

And this should in no way discount the need for material things....we live in a material world where we need material things to live, experience, create, grow and express.

....just my 2c ;-)

i like them but i think that everything is the mind.. vision boards definitely helps but don't lose faith, dont stop believing n things you think you can do...

Absolutely man. I found the time I manifested the most was when I had a vision board in fact.
