Keep Your Goals in Front of You

Anna Gibbs Business Coaching ServicesWhy not create a Dream Board?

What is it?  A dream or vision board is a way of creating a visual representation of a goal(s).  It gives you something tangible to focus on.  This can help you strive towards it.

Why is it important?  When working towards a goal, it is really important to have something to visualize.  A dream board makes your dreams and goals physically present.  Looking at your dream board every day will build more energy towards those goals.  You will enforce your desires and arrange your priorities.  Whether your dream is of financial freedom, your dream home, dream car, your dream vacation, spiritual growth, or getting to the next level in your business it belongs on the board where you will see it everyday and envision yourself having already achieved it and living out that dream!

How to create a dream board?   Purchase a bulletin board, magnetic board or poster board.  Personally, my dream board is a bulletin board.  It makes it easy to add and remove images as I accomplish them.

1. First, take a moment and reflect on your goals.  Think of all aspects of your life such as health, spiritual, family, fitness, travel, career, and financial.    2.  Collect an assortment of magazines covering different topics.  You could also use personal photos of things that are important to you and the core reason you have dreams.    3.  Cut out specific images that appeal to you visually and apply to your dreams and goals.   4.  Look for keywords that apply too.  Words that describe your wants, thoughts and beliefs.  Paste or pin all of these on your dream board. 

Make your board appealing visually!  Use bright colors and vivid images.  Then be sure to hang it somewhere that you can see it daily and often.  Look at it for at least 5 minutes twice a day and imagine yourself leading the life you see in those pictures!

This is an awesome project to do with your children!  Let them imagine who they want to be.  Is it to be a doctor or a star soccer player?  Encourage them to use positive words and pictures to boost self-esteem.  Then they can hang it in their room and look at it everyday!

I've heard of this concept before, but I love the idea of making this a project to do with my kids.  I hope they will embrace it as much as I want them to!

We did one Debbie. It is amazing how many of the items come true! Tom Ferry did a seminar up here for us and he took the Dream/Vision Board one step further and said you had to mark down how you were going to get each item or reach each goal sorta like a road map and that makes sense too. Good reminder that it is time to do another one!

My dream board is actually the inside of the bathroom cabinet door.  Every morning and every night as I'm cleaning my face and doing my makeup, there it is.

This is very good advice.  I have similar boards up in my home office, but the way you presented it here, it gives me new ideas.  Thank you.

I saw the movie, Women, and one of the ladies did this and then she achieved her dreams.  I loved the idea, decided to buy a spiral notebook, started putting some pictures of the dreams in it, cut a bunch of stuff out, and it's still loose in the book.  I think the book is a bad idea, the bulletin board is better.  You do need to look at it all the time.  I have done all the cutting, and have a bulletin board in the garage, might be a project to get back to, maybe even this evening.  Been a rough day.  A client of mine's baby died and a girl I graduated with.  It kinda got me down, need to get my mindset back up again.
