How and why Vision boards work

Creating a vision board involves collecting images, words, and items that represent your dreams and goals, then arranging them on a board.
This visual representation helps you clarify your aspirations, stay motivated, and manifest your desired future.

The process includes reflecting on your goals, choosing a medium (physical or digital), gathering materials, arranging the items creatively, and placing the board where you'll see it regularly.

Continuously updating the board as your goals evolve is also key.

The Practice

Stare at your board for morning and night - for how long is up to you, about 5 minutes each time so 10 minutes per day is a safe time to start with.

The goal is to see your vision board in your minds eye. Meaning you can see the contents on the board with your eyes shut.

This practice leverages the power of visualization to keep you focused and inspired.

It's believed that the practice is closely related to the Law of Attraction.

The concept of the law of attraction can be traced back to ancient philosophical and spiritual traditions, but it entered modern society in a more structured form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The New Thought movement, which emerged in the United States around this time, played a significant role in popularizing the idea. Key figures like Phineas Quimby, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and later writers such as Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale, contributed to its development and dissemination through their teachings and writings.

My Antidotal Experience.  

I wanted to achieve a big goal that was beyond me at the time. So after some research I created a vision board. 

For 3 to 5 months I focused on that board first thing in the morning and last thing at night, for about 5 minutes. I just starred at the photos on the board imagining what it would be like achieving the goals.

I don't remember what happened but somehow I stopped doing it and I forgot about it for over a year.

Then one day I was working out at the gym and in front of me was an image from my vison board.

The person who took the photo must of stood in this exact spot. I still get chills. Because instantly everything on the vison board came flooding back and all of it had come true.

It scared me a bit, and I started to question how and why it worked!
