Vision Boards...Dream Boards. Do you have one?

sidsmom · ‎11-25-2011

Do you have a Vision Board or Dream Board? I had something like that for work...really helped to keep my work goals in front of me...and also attain them, as well! Since retirement, I was thinking of starting one for my personal life....but personal goals are...different. Any tips/tricks?

Since retiring I do not want to have to plan out anything. I like getting up when I wake up, eating when I choose to eat, doing what I want INCLUDING NOTHING if I choose to do nothing. No schedule, no clock, my goal is to relax, and go with the flow. I attained my goals for the past 40 some years. Retirement is MY TIME with no commitments. No vision board necessary.

Never heard of either of them. I did however use mental visualization before many of my running/skating and auto racing competitions. Well not auto racing come to think of it, that was way before I knew about these types of things.

My way was visual only in my head not on a board or piece of paper. Lots of athletes do this type of thing when training for competitions, especially the longer endurance type.

gazelle77: It's not a time management tool, but rather a LIFE tool. What are your dreams, wants, beliefs? Bucket List stuff. There's a good chance you'll make all this happen if you have it front of you every day. Words can fly through your head, but an image is more tangible.

I've kept one for years. DS has one as well.

Only have ever kept a personal board, never a board for work.

On it are my personal goals. I cut out photos or sometimes just grab a pic of something inspirational online to download and save. I also have a box of Crayola 64's for fun.

Funny story. I dated a guy a few years ago.....he was getting quite serious. I kept my vision board on my bedroom wall. Mostly sketches, pics, etc. Where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do.

He asked "do you have room for me on that board"? It was then i realized, no I didn't see him in my future. And shortly thereafter we parted.

I'm fortunate to have a room of my own where I keep what stimulates my creative me----not the bedroom or office

It's in my mind, LOL, but I've always wanted to create a physical one.

Great thread. 8)

THAT'S IT! Vision boards became really popular around the time "The Secret" came out. Just a visual, tangible way to manifest your dreams. Almost a 'build it & they will come' idea. It really works. Wow...your story is exactly what the idea is all about.
