HOW TO PICTURE YOUR FUTURE
MADE By Jasmine Browley
If you think vision boards are useless , you ’ re mistaken . Because ... science . Vision boards , based on the law of attraction and the act of visualization , open powerful new pathways of thought and help in the manifestation of goals .
Researchers at the National Library of Medicine found that mental practices are almost effective as true physical practice , and that doing both is more effective than either alone . Think of it as a form of ‘ mental rehearsal ,’ or preparing your mind for the work that ’ s necessary to achieve your aspirations .
CREATING A VISION BOARD
2 . GATHER SOME AWESOME IMAGES
Some people use the web for images , turning to Pinterest as an alternative to a cardboard layout , but most find it more effective to go through magazines , as physically touching the pages can trigger certain sensories , making the process more fulfilling . Cut out the images and plan their placement .
What can a vision board do for you ? Among other things , your vision board can evoke important emotions needed to fulfill difficult tasks and ready your subconscious for change . Malcolm Gladwell ’ s Blink outlines how reading lists of words designed to bring forth a certain feeling such as aggression or cooperation can indeed bring out that emotion without our conscious awareness , even if we know we ’ re being manipulated . That ’ s one reason that the usage of words on the boards are important and why it should be kept it where it can be easily seen .
CREATING A VISION BOARD
1 . PICK A THEME
Hone in on a particular set of goals and make your board focus on them . Whether that means titling it “ My New Body ” or “ Career 2017 ,” being intentional about what you want on your board makes it easier to determine the same for your aspirations .
