My toddler's Frozen themed vision board, lol. |
Whether you
want to lose weight, take up archery or run a marathon, January 1st offers up a
fresh start.
One of the
things that I always do is prepare a vision board. It helps me set personal
goals for the upcoming year using photo clippings and quotes that have meaning
to where I want to be in life. I think they’re
important because knowing what we want is good, but actually seeing it in front
of us can be a great motivator.
Why I think
every mom, no every parent should have one is because when you have a child
you're not just living for you, you're living for them. So what better way than
to create a visual plan for your best life!
Don't know
where to start? Here three easy tips for making for very own vision board:
Write it down
Make a list
of your goals for the upcoming year. It's
an easy way to plan what you'll put on board.
Get to clippin'
Now this is
the fun part. You can use magazines, newspapers, computer printouts, whatever
you heart desires to visually create your board. Get your kids involved by
asking them to contribute, it’ll be fun for them and maybe one day they’ll make
their own. Once you pasted your
images/words hang it in a place where you can see it every day for inspiration.
Now get to work

Finally, a
vision board without effort is just a grown up collage. You've got to get out there and do the work.
Focus on those dreams and do your best to make them reality.
Will you be
making a vision board? Do you find them to be helpful?
