Weight Loss Vision Board
June 20, 2010
According to wikipedia, vision boards are related to the Law of Attractions theory which is used by many New Thought leaders. The theory goes that thoughts influence chance.
Generally, I am fairly skeptical. However, a few years ago I was introduced to a dynamic and unbelievably happy woman. She was married to her dream man. I was recently divorced so she offered me the technique she used to find her dream man. She defined all the things she wanted in her dream man. She cut out pictures and sayings that defined those traits and added them to a poster board. She hung it on the wall and looked at it daily. I can't remember how long it took, but it wasn't an extended period of time before the man fitting all the traits walked into her life. They have been happily married for many years. She had made a vision board, and her vision came true.
I didn't make a vision board when she told me that story, but I thought of her story and decided to make one for this. In addition to adding how I see myself and the the things I'd like to do I also added my daily commitments I have made to myself. With this, I can have a single board at work and home that contains both as a daily reminder.
Don't think making a vision board has to be hard! I used the computer cause that is where I spend most of my time and I have those tools. I could have just as easily clipped pictures from magazines and pasted them on a board. Do whatever works best for you! I am confident that the vision board will provide constant motivation.
Here's my first draft of my Vision Board:
