Why You Must-Have a Vision Board :

• Vision Board Gives You Clarity : Having an all-or-nothing mentality leaves you with nothing sometimes. Have a clear vision for what you’d like to accomplish in 2023 to get a direction & meaning.

• Vision Board Creates a Positive Approach : It’s up to you to notice your negative self-talk and identify triggers. The voice inside your head has a great effect on what you do. Replace negative thoughts with positive facts about yourself and the situation. You’ll be able to create a new mental script that you can reach for when you feel negativity creeping in.

• Vision Board Helps You Visualize Success : Paint a mental picture of overcoming obstacles and achieving your objectives. Gather information to reduce the fear of the unknown. Fear often shrinks or disappears in the face of facts and analysis.

• Vision Board Guides You With a deeper why : A Purpose worth wrestling your fear for. (For example, you may face a great challenge at work with a project or initiative that will test your self-worth and resilience but you wisely attach it to your role as a provider in your family and how you can be a role model for your children).

Power of Visualization :

• Visualization helps you make better decisions, gives you clarity of your goals & gets what you want out of life. It's hard to make progress toward your goals if you don't take some time to think about them.

• Visualization can be used to motivate you to focus on, and work toward, your future ideal state & build your self-confidence.

• Visualization gives a person the power and courage to tackle daunting tasks as it triggers the hormones that make the process of attaining goals easier. Successful people visualize success long before getting it. It increases positive thoughts in them and helps them optimize their performance to the top.

• Visualization techniques can also reduce stress & anxiety. They direct your attention back to the details of your desired outcome. In the process, minimizing the noise of other (less relevant) distractions. 

Key Points to Remember :

• When your goals are not clear or definite, you’ll have a difficult time making them happen. Getting a clear picture of your goals will light up the path forward.

• Research shows that imagining goals in detail enhance motivation, which leads to taking action. When you visualize your dreams, they feel more attainable. This increases your likelihood to work toward your dreams.

• During visualization, you activate the same area of the brain as performing the task. So when you set out to do something, like a job interview or crossing the finish line, you perform better as though you had already accomplished it.

• Close your eyes and imagine exactly what the life you want looks like. Get specific. Take a piece of paper and write down the details of your dreams. This will give you a better idea of what you want to work towards. Create a vision board to remind you daily of your big goals.
