A vision board--or dream board--is something visual you create in order to inspire you and encourage you to keep your eye on your goals. The theory is that by visualizing the things you desire in life, you will be more apt to do what's necessary to make them happen. Stay focused with a vision board and see how your life changes.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Start by doing some thinking about what it is in life that you desire. This includes material possessions you'd like to have, the person you'd like to be, vacations you'd like to take, or where you'd like to live.

  2. Step 2

    Cut pictures from magazines that represent the desires you have in your life. Print out phrases from your computer to describe the pictures and your underlying desire. Be specific. If there's a certain color of car you want, be sure to cut out a picture of the car in that color.

  3. Step 3

    Paste the images and phrases to a poster board and hang it somewhere so that you and the people who are important to you will be sure to see it multiple times throughout the day.

  4. Step 4

    Focus on your vision board whenever it catches your eye. Envision yourself attaining these goals. You could put a note below the picture of the car that says, "Here I am, driving my new Corvette." Or you could have a picture of your family, with the thought, "I want to spend more time enjoying my children." It's a powerful way to visualize the goals you have in your life, and make them part of your daily thoughts.

  5. Step 5

    Create your vision board on your computer and save it as your desktop image. There are websites where you can create your own vision board online and save it to your computer. Do whatever works for you to stay focused with a vision board on the things in life that are important to you.
