To get a better idea of what you want toward the future, I often work with a dream board or vision board. Yesterday I joined a career client who still had her dream board in the kitchen. Whether it's to achieve goals, whether it's good intentions, your dream job, something you want to change, ... then you often get the tip: VISUALize! By making your wants and desires visual, your subconscious starts working and you activate the law of attraction. When you know very clearly what you want, your subconscious starts looking for it and you are more likely to succeed or find what you are looking for.
What do you want to achieve?
Before you start your dream board, therefore, it is important to know what you want to achieve. You can do this, for example, using the life wheel. Take a deep breath, calm down and look at the following questions for the different areas (work, finances, relationship, health ...) in your life and write down.
When money, fear and the opinion or judgment of others don't matter:
- Who would I want to BE then? How would I want to FEEL then?
- What would you want to DO then?
- So what would you want to HAVE?
Also look generally: What is the one dream of yours whose realization would fulfill you completely? What would bring the biggest change in your life? Or, complete next sentence: "If I am very honest with myself, I believe it is my mission/my calling to ......"
Create Dreamboard?
You can create your dreamboard digitally but giving attention and time to making it effectively physical can further enhance your process. You give focus to your dreams. With your answers in mind, look at magazines, images and start tearing, cutting, pasting, being creative with your dream. Importantly, when pasting your dream images, paste your own picture centrally in the middle. The dreams are allowed to flow to you. There is also no one way to make a dreamboard. Some like nice straight cut out images, others will tear; you may still see part of your board or maybe you'll let everything overlap. Feel what works for you.
How does it work?
That which you give attention to, grows ... you attract. It helps to think your dreams clearly, it is even more powerful to write them down as well, and you reinforce the process even more by making it visual. Through images you also unconsciously link positive feelings to what you want to achieve and thus you increase the chances of manifestation. Therefore, also look for images that "speak" to you. By making it visual, you will also notice that you get an overview and bring peace to yourself.
Again: that which you give attention to grows and attracts you. Therefore, also give your dreamboard a place where you see it hanging every day.
Share your dreams, too. Even if you only forward it to one friend or discuss it with your career coach.
