Quattro’s 90-day Challenge – Day 83 – My Vision Board is Done!
With the emotional stress of things last week, I fell behind in some personal growth assignments. Today I finished up my Vision Board. This board is a little different than typical boards…it has a timeline of my present and future, with representations of the tools to how I am going to get to my future dreams. These tools are placed in the middle of the board, a logical place for them since they symbolize how the change is going to happen.
Vision boards can be powerful tools for transformation when constructed in a way that the subconscious understands. The subconscious mind carries out the will of the conscious mind, so the board must speak to one’s emotions, not to one’s logic. Symbols are a powerful communicator because they are embedded in our neurology and genetic memories. They have the backing and power of deep meanings to all the generations that came before us. The pictures each person will use will vary according to the goals they want to accomplish, but generally, wealth is symbolized by money, gold, and to some, fast cars, expensive jewelry and large homes. Love can be conveyed by hearts, couples, romantic scenery, etc. Use what gets an emotional reaction out of you – that is the important thing to remember.
Once done, be sure to spend time meditating/comtemplating the board. When you get up in the morning and when you go to bed at night are perfect times. Beginning and ending the day with your goals in mind will cement them in your mind and keep you focused on the prize.
