Tips to creating a vision board

Oenone shares with us her guide to channelling ideas into vision boards that work

There are three things that you need to keep in mind when creating your vision board.

* Means something to you: The process of creating your vision board should mean something to you. I always tell people there is no perfect way, you need to find what works for you.

*Action: Also just having the vision board up is not enough, you have to always pair it with action.

*Reflect: It’s good to revisit your vision board once a month to reflect on how far you have come, if there is anything else you need to add etc. That’s when the board does have an impact in your life.

Here are a few simple guidelines on how you

can put together your vision board.

1. Think about the purpose of your vision board. Is it for your goals, your business, your work life etc.

2. Find a canvas that you can use as a vision board. You can use a Bristol board or buy a cork board

3. Collect old magazine cutouts, mementos, post cards, scrapbook paper whatever inspires you and set them out.

4. Set aside some quiet time (with no disturbances). You can get the help of someone to make sure you are not disturbed.

5. Set the ambience. I like to have some light music playing in the background.

6. Start your vision board! Remember it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s your personal board and should inspire you and remind you to stay inspired.
