Hey Team! This week we're coming at you with something that's a little bit more hands on and practical.... Vision Boards!
00:10:22:39 - 00:10:35:16
Speaker 2
So January 14th is Vision Board Day. Did you know that? Oh, I didn't know that. So it's a day where people are encouraged to update their vision boards. So that's why we're encouraging you to do that this week.
00:10:35:18 - 00:10:52:00
Speaker 1
You guys might remember when we did it last year, we asked you to print off your favourite photos. But there are so many different ways that you can do it as well. A lot of people did it digitally and did it through their iPads, through their Pinterest boards. We personally printed it off because it's great to see it physical.
00:10:52:02 - 00:10:52:19
Speaker 1
Yes.
00:10:52:21 - 00:11:12:02
Speaker 2
So when refreshing your board, the first thing you need to do is go through all your images and take anything off that no longer serves you. Or maybe you've already achieved it and you've moved on to something bigger and better now. Something for me. I did purchase my Apple Watch last year, so I'm going to take that off the board.
00:11:12:04 - 00:11:35:24
Speaker 1
Perfect. I did my side of the board a little bit different. I didn't necessarily put things that I wanted to achieve, but I more so put an all round vibe that I'm going for in my life. So when I look at it, I still definitely want that. But there's probably a couple of things that I would add on, like a pottery wheel or like our own house, maybe the suburb that we want to be in, things like that.
00:11:35:24 - 00:11:37:11
Speaker 1
So it's a little bit more personal.
00:11:37:11 - 00:12:03:11
Speaker 2
When you go looking for new images. It's important to make sure that the imagery really inspires you. You don't look at it and you're bored by it. You want to be excited by it. Feel free to change your images throughout the year too. I personally like using images that we've taken because it feels personal, but there's tons of images on here that are from Pinterest, Google, and just probably Instagram too.
00:12:03:16 - 00:12:03:28
Speaker 2
What do.
00:12:03:28 - 00:12:07:09
Speaker 1
You mean? That's my Mercedes?
00:12:07:09 - 00:12:16:24
Speaker 2
But yeah, I find images specifically that inspire you. So there's thousands of images of a Mercedes Benz, but for some reason that one gets me excited.
00:12:16:38 - 00:12:34:44
Speaker 1
The third step is to read through the quotes that you have on your board and make sure that they're still inspiring you as well. For example, this here I chose this quote, but it says 2022 glow up. So I want to find something that's referencing more-so this year, or the future or maybe doesn't have a date on it at all.
00:12:34:44 - 00:12:36:04
Speaker 1
Now that I think about it.
00:12:36:11 - 00:12:43:06
Speaker 2
We've got some quotes here and here as well. So just like I don't know if they resonate with us anymore, so we got to switch it up.
00:12:43:17 - 00:13:04:08
Speaker 1
Switch it up! or maybe even make your own quotes with like Canva or something. Trueeee! So the fourth step is optional, but moving your dream board to somewhere in your house where you're constantly seeing it. Yeah, you don't really want to have your dream board hidden away so that you can't see it. You want to be looking at what you're trying to bring into your life and reminded about it.
00:13:04:30 - 00:13:09:19
Speaker 2
So get it out from wherever you are, keeping it behind your cupboard and put it somewhere public.
00:13:09:20 - 00:13:14:21
Speaker 1
And if you're doing a digital one, maybe screenshot it and have it as the background on your iPad or your phone.
00:13:14:27 - 00:13:23:46
Speaker 2
We're looking forward to seeing your dream board, so make sure you send us some photos and also comment below what you're taking off your board and what you going to replace it with this year.
00:13:24:01 - 00:13:26:18
Speaker 1
Good luck. Have a great week Team, bye!
Did you know January 14th is “Vision Board Day”?
I just found that out and thought, huh… sounds like a great weekly reminder!
Vision boards / Manifestation boards / Dream boards are supposed to hang in a place you look at often and get you feeling inspired to work towards your goals. Today is the day we refresh our imagery to set us up for success!
Step 1: Take a look at your dream board and reflect on all that you achieved last year. Take the images off that no longer serve you or don’t line with your vision moving forward.
Step 2: Think about some of the goals you have set for yourself this year and go online or in magazines to find images that best represent them. Try to find photos of the goal achieved - e.g. Instead of putting photos up of a piggy bank to allude to saving for a car, just put an image of the car that you hope to buy.
Step 3: Read through the quotes on your board and if they don’t resonate with you, find some new ones!
Step 4 (Optional): Move it to a different place in the house/room so that you look at it more! If you don’t really remember seeing your vision board last year, then you need to put it in a more visible place!!
Comment below and let us know what images you are taking off your dream board and what is going on instead!
