Why Visionboard making is more effective than New Years resolutions
/
Vision boards are a great way to get motivated because they allow you to visualize your goals.
Visualization is a very powerful tool that can help you achieve what you want in life. The process of creating a vision board is a form of visualization, as it helps you see the end result and reminds yourself of what you want.
A new years resolution is just one thing you want to change, cut out or accomplish in the next year and it often is abandoned within weeks.
New Years resolutions are often too ambitious or unrealistic. You tend to have a long list of things you want to change, cut out or accomplish in the next year and it often is abandoned within weeks. It doesn't have a visual reminder that would help keep you motivated through the hard times and challenges of sticking with your new habit for an extended period of time without losing focus. It's hard to measure and track progress because there may not be any tangible goals set in place from an outside source such as work or school.
When making vision boards, each item on the board represents something meaningful about yourself. Ask questions like, What are my values? How do I want others to perceive me? What personal qualities do I hope will develop over time into daily habits that will support the life I want to live?

You can create a vision board for your career, health, finances, relationships, or any other area of your life where you want to achieve something.
Pick out images that represent the goals that are important to you. For example: if one of your career goals is “to be promoted at work” then maybe an image of someone being promoted would go on the board. If another goal is “to get fit, " perhaps an image of a jogging trail would be good. The more specific these visual representations are in terms of representing how achieving those goals would look in real life will make them even more effective at motivating us. They help us visualize what we want so much more clearly and powerfully than just writing down our desires does alone!
Keep the vision board where you see it daily, like on your closet wall or in an office, to help you remember your goals.
If you keep it in a place that is easily accessible and visible, then you will be more likely to look at it often. This will remind you of what you are working toward and motivate you to keep reaching for those goals!
