When we talk of goal setting, the subject can be
outstretched due to the fact that life has many aspects: personal, career,
finance, community, health and family. Relationships include friends, family, colleagues
and romantic relationships. Just how does one create a goal into improving
one’s relationship? I believe the use of a tool called vision
board can help set things up. A vision
board made out of a poster or a foam core board is ideal, where we
can put up images arranged like a
collage with affirmations and inspirational quotes.
In individual goals, we may ask
ourselves some of these questions; how do we make sure of the mutual growth
within the relationship? Are we willing to take individual responsibilities for
the relationship’s sake? Do we still have our own identity in this
relationship? What steps can I take to handle situations that might arise in
the relationship? What about my individual growth? The vision
you have in mind will provide for the answers to this questions. Putting them
on a vision
board will make it more clearly and begin manifesting what you want
done into reality. A vision board serves as
a programmer that turns our external stimuli in tuned to keep us closer towards
our goals and intentions. For joint goals, we make it more absolute, covering
all other types of relationships. Questions that may arise would be: what do we
value most in the relationship and how do we want it improved? Writing down the
goals first, then reinforcing them on a vision
board helps with the process of manifestation. We can always revert
to our written and visual goals to make us stay committed.
Keep in mind that your relationship
vision board can represent the goals of a present relationship or it can
represent the relationship that you desire to manifest. For instance, a married couple may have their
vision of what they want in their relationship, while a single individual may
have a vision of the desired character and experiences with a future partner.
Regardless, it’s about being clear about what you want,
visualizing it, and believing it to manifest.
a) Visualization
– the mind at work with pictures and images, so make the vision board pasted
with as many pictures you have in your mind as possible. Insert words and
phrases to add up to the emotional response gathered from it.
b) Emotions–each image on your vision board
stimulates a positive response. It should enable you to be in high spirits and
fuel the passion into achieving the goals set.
c) Location – your vision board
should be angled in a location that gives the most exposure for you to be
constantly reminded of what you have to do.
Figure out what you want improved on your relationships,
make the first step in creating your vision
board, and actuate to turn dreams into reality.To get your own Tote-a-Vision,
visit
Vision
board, any which way you want to call it, a goal board, goal map, dream board,
focus board or life map. It illustrates a visualization of the things a
man truly dream or desire
in life. The object of a vision
board is to initiate an action by using extrinsic context to aid in
conceiving your goals and dreams.
How does one make a vision
board? Itis made up as a poster or a cardboard just as the one used in a
collage. You then select images from magazines or pictures printed out from the
internet and paste them on the board.
Now, what can these images be about? Select pictures,
which epitomize the things you want to obtain, such as life goals, business goals, relationship
goals, family
goals, academic goals,
or nearly everything that will make you happy. Add in some power words or
writings in your vision board
that should charge emotions and hoist up the passion to accomplish the dreams and goals. Draw out
inspirations from words or phrases that affirm intentions. Affirmation allows
you to know that there are unlimited possibilities, finding the proper
motivational technique through quotes and sayings gives motivation and
inspiration that will correspond to your vision. To think, read and
hear our thoughts is a powerful combination placed on a vision
board to recondition the process of believing more, feeling more and
attracting what we feel and believe.
Words alone have power; using power words can
increase your results. Combining power
words with your vision
board influences your focus and builds up belief towards yourvision. A
power word has the ability to charge-up excitement, passion and confidence. In
times of great disappointment and discouragement, these power words pasted on
your vision
board will remind you of your original purpose and intent. You will be reminded of the purpose and
encouraged to find the right path again when things don’t go as you want them
to be. Increased exposure to power words and affirmations helps adjust one’s
belief system, thus making the goal setting process
faster to turn desires into reality.
But a poster or a cardboard is something you
can’t take with you daily. This is why Tote-A-Vision,
a portable vision
board, is perfectly designed as something you can carry with you anywhere
and anytime. To keep the fire burning for your inner-inspiration to maintain
the focus on your vision
board, it should always be available to remind you of your goals.
The power of the mind is infinite, dubbed as the
efficient cause of the general order in the universe, divided into the
subconscious and conscious mind. The subconscious mind is the mind stuff that
stores all of life’s experiences, beliefs, memories, skills and the other
images we’ve seen through our life. In essence, what you conceive in your
subconscious mind, can come true; whatever vision in your mind, it can create.
What you think, see, believe and feel is sent and created into mind stuff.
Picture yourself using creative imagination of your dreams and goals. The mind
stuff that’s going on inside of you most likely doesn’t present itself in words
rather in pictures, and with clearness and persistency can be turned into
reality. The vision
board is a useful tool we
can use to transfer these mind stuff into something you can see every day.Be it
changes in lifestyle, health goals, business goals, family goals, academic
goals, or relationship goals, the vision board can assist to turn dreams into reality. You are to choose
images related to your specific thoughts and put them into the vision
board. Allow your mind to
work while selecting images. Once these images are transferred to your
subconscious mind, it can be stored as a program. The mind learns by repetition
not by logic. It can convince the inner self to believe in something it sees
repeatedly. Once belief sets in, we are operating at a whole new level. We are
at a point of absolute faith, which is belief absent of doubt. With a focused mind of belief, we then have
the courage to do what it takes to achieve what’s on our vision board.
The vision
board can change our
thoughts, create constituting beliefs, and alter the way we see things. Using
our mind stuff, we can begin to develop and act upon what we want achieved base
on our vision board. What we visualized before the vision
board will now support
the activity to reach the specific goal. You may want to create a vision
board that encompasses
all of our goals for every part or area of our life. There’s no telling how far
our mind set will take us. If you’re to do this, it is best to have the vision board placed in an accessible place or a spot where it can be
easily seen or create a portable vision board with Tote-a-Vision, so that you
can carry it with you. Whichever tool you decide to use, its purpose will be to
re-focus your mental energy to see it and your physical energy towards the
direction you desire to achieve.
Placing affirmations on your vision board is another useful technique as the subconscious mind
functions in a way that the more these affirmations are repeated, the more the
mind believes and turns them into reality resulting to amazing changes in one’s
life. Affirmations on your vision board can be set to help you with your goal setting, for
self-improvement, facing up with emotional difficulties and enhance motivation
to succeed. No one succeeds in life by accident. It begins with visualization, and
then there are techniques and tools like the traditional vision board or like the Tote-a-Vision that brings out the power of the
mind stuff. Feeding the mind with images and affirmations gives the impact it
needs to gather momentum and act it out in the real
world.
