Why Vision and Action Boards Can be a Game Changer for You

In this episode, I share some thoughts about the importance of vision boards.  A simple Google search yielded nearly TWO BILLION links on the subject. 

• Why are they so popular?
• What is so great about them?
• Do they really work?

Vision, by definition is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom.  A vision board, then, is a physical representation of your dreams and plans.   Their popularity has increased over the last 20 years.  They have gone from poster boards with magazine cuttings glued to them to Pinterest dream boards and now people are making vision videos.   

VISION BOARDS
Creating an effective vision board is definitely a "garbage in, garbage out" situation.  Which means, if the images do not resonate you or don't make sense, then spending time looking at it will not change anything for you.  Whether you have a vision board or not, having a vision for your life is critical.  How you connect to that vision is entirely up to you.  Setting clear intentions and taking deliberate action is the only way to achieve goals. 

I am personally a big fan of vision boards.  I use my vision to write my goals and my goals to write my action plans.  As I take action, I learn new things which sometimes lead to my making revisions to my vision board.  I have learned that there is nothing wrong with realizing that what I thought I wanted and what I actually wanted were two different things.  My vision boards is living, breathing representation of I am becoming.   

ACTION BOARDS
  I have recently started to create quarterly action boards, which serve a different function.  The idea is to put together a visual representation of what I want to complete over each 90-day period.  I ask myself questions like "What do I need to complete that I have been putting off?" or "What uncomfortable action do I need to take?"  Once I have the answers to these questions, I find images that represent them and create a rolling action board.  When I review and update each 30 days, I am celebrating what I am able to check off and completely committed to the next thing.

You are becoming who you are going to be this time next year RIGHT NOW.  Do you know what you look like? How you feel? Where you are? What you’re doing?  What about who you are spending time with and the conversations you are having?  These are the types of questions that you should answer as you create your vision board.  Once you have answered them, you can start living into that life.
