For the artist who is sensitive to feelings and emotions vision board is easily comprehended. For the analytic facts, figures and numbers who sees the world based on logic vision board in not easily comprehended.
Thoughts become Things
We have emotions and feelings which guides our life. Since, creation functions creatively and rationally then vision boards can also be explained in the same manner.
This principal works the same for young and old. However, children are a lot easier to partake in vision board because of their inquiring mind. Where as adults have already summed up the whole and figured out how all things work.
In others words knowledge can blindfold adults from receiving the simple things in life. Adults logic wants the hard to discover truth which is hard. Rather, to be childlike and irrational.
Nature knows exactly what to do in season. Do you? Children who are brought up to believe in their imagination usually do not deviate from there inborn natural nature. I am using myself as the example. Born to discover the world through curiosity and creative means.
Thoughts create things
If, you truly want something in your life you must first be able to ‘envision’ it before you’ll be able to manifest it. A vision board, like the name implies, helps with the ‘seeing’ of goals, making them tangible and motivates actions to make them come true!
You release your intentions and let it flow. For the analytic do not fight or reason with how this works.
Vision board is a random act of putting pictures and word together. Which does not make sense but to your subconscious you need to remain creative. The board displays a collage of intentions which becomes inspiration and motivation.
Keep an open mind and heart. Whatever jumps out at you put it on your board. Let your heart guide you do not be hard on yourself. It’s just pictures on a board. When it all comes together it will have a deeper meaning.
Messy is a new reality
This is so much fun when you’re doing stuff you have NEVER THOUGHT off. Have you ever thought you could travel the world at no cost to you. I dreamt it and it happened for me. Do you wish to live in an exotic destination healthy and wealthy? It can be if you explore the joy of creating something out of nothing.
Be adventurous there are too many people living in the world doing things they dislike.
Open several magazines you will be amazed what you can put together with whatever magazines you have.
Cut out any words and images that you love, that brings joy or inspires you on some level – it doesn’t matter why; you’ll figure out later what it all means.
It doesn’t have to be pretty or artistic. It is rich with meaning, and often it’s only you that will understand what the deeper meaning is. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks of it. It’s just a visual aspiration list.
Cut out everything first, then decide how that pile of images best fits together on a blank canvas. You can put it on a piece of paper, card stock, cardboard box, whatever you’ve got lying around.
Why is this exercise so powerful?
From my own experience, I would say it’s because you’ve let your inner child, your inner visionary and your subconscious take the wheel. You’ve opened your heart and mind and use a different part of your brain.
You have taken away rational thinking and tapped into some deep secrets. You tapped into the creative side of your real being which you have not done in a long time.
While gazing at your vision board, you can see what’s most valued, cherished and important to you.
Deep down – maybe so deep down these were things were only felt but were not expressed. We see in pictures, our mind uses pictures to bring life to our thoughts.
Vision board pictures gives you insight into non verbal words. You do not have to make sense of this process only do it, it works.
Keep cutting and pasting. Let’s your brain loose and whatever leaps at you pick it. The creative process unlocks your brain so you see/feel deep longings.
As adults we have been trained to think not to waste our time. This is not a time waster in fact it’s meaningful to your future.
Every time you look at it later, you’ll remember, giving more power to that secret intention.
Finally, you can learn and share your vision making it into a story. You can tell others whom you trust how you envision the future and why it’s important to you.
