Why Vision board works

Some people call a vision board a dream board, while some say there are different, in a sense, long term goals (dream board) and short term goals (vision board). But basically they are the same. It’s like, when we work in the corporate world, we have long term plans and short term plans. And then respective activities to achieve that. It’s just like that but for the individual level.

Basically what you do is, pick areas of your life that you want to improve. Like below:
Health- get healthier, reduce or increase weight, buy a home gym.
Wealth-home or car or money
Spiritual- improve mindfulness or meditation
Relationship-improve your relationship with people who matters to you or community
Love-love self, family or looking for better half or marry for singles
Career- publish a book or own a business or climb that 9-5 ladder
Hobbies- read, volunteer, gardening
Travel/fulfillment goal- who doesn't like traveling? I don’t think there will be any VB without travel.

Once you have identified what you wanted as above, put one or more items in each heading and label with both statements and images.

Like if you want to travel on a cruise ship, may not be now though :P Attach a photo of a cruise on the travel.

Once done, where is the best place to keep it- in the most popular place where you can or you have more chances to see.  Maybe in your kitchen or near your bed, to make it first to see in the morning and last thing at night before going to bed.


Why would putting it on a board works - it's because once we know what we want, we are bound to work for it. But as a human, we need constant reminders. Doing this will imprint those in your brain. 

Yes, you heard me right, we make action steps following that. Once we say I want this and visualise, we work towards achieving it. Maybe that's why it works.

I have a typical example.

When we were living in our previous house, it was a bit far for us to walk to kids' school. Everyday we have difficulties finding parking, for drop off and pick up, I always wish for a house close to school. I used to wish for one of those houses on school street to be mine.

Now we live in a house just outside the school fence. People park near my house to pick up their kids.

It worked because we could  visualise how convenient it is for us to walk to school and we looked for a house like this when we looked for buying our first home.

Then there is another example which is not at all in our control, but still works when we know how to visualise, we had a dry summer season for a long time and I wished for some shower for our garden. I was unconsciously visualising heavy rain and it did the next day.

I have no idea of how this all works, but this is my experience, when we want it and can visualise it, it works.

This is another example, I always told myself, if I could take my girls abroad for their education, technically, my goal for my girls. I tried for a scholarship and I succeeded. They study in Australia right now.

Mostly because when it is there in our brain, we work to achieve it I think.

I never named it as a vision board, but I was conscious I always tell my husband, I have gotten whatever I wanted.

This is my view on vision board but from specialist people working on such vision board, like writer or law of attraction mentors/consultants, they say these

We have to think as if we have already achieved or got what we wanted. Celebrate and act as if we are already there, and we are bound to get it. While doing my vision board, I went through some articles and YouTube videos and many claim it worked for them.


You actually put everything you want to achieve/you wish you had on a board or visible place like below:
