Research has shown that pictures motivate us more than words. A vision board is a fun and creative way for you to clarify your dreams for the future and maintain focus and motivation for achieving goals related to those dreams. It helps to remind you of what you are working to accomplish.
Create a digital vision board using a format such as MS Word, PowerPoint, Google Slides, Google Docs, etc. to represent at least four (4) aspirations for your future. Use a separate page/slide for each aspiration.
Planning: Before you begin, think about your goals, desires, and aspirations. When you reach your greatest success, what will you have? What will you be doing? What kind of person will you be? Consider all of the following categories and select the 4 aspirations that are most meaningful to you: • Education (What academic goals do you see yourself pursuing?) • Work (What do you see yourself doing for a living? What about volunteer activities?) • Emotions (What do you want to feel?) • Relationships (Who do you want to have close relationships with?) • Location (Where do you see yourself living? What type of dwelling?) • Recreational Activities (What would you like to do in your spare time?) • Personal Interests (What hobbies would you like to pursue? Where would you like to travel?) • Wealth (What financial goals do you have?) • Other (Consider health and well-being, “bucket list” items, personal development, etc.) •Dive Deep: Instead of thinking, “I want to be happy,” challenge yourself to identify what specifically will make you feel that way. Is it money? A strong family? Respect from the community?
