Vision Boards

Visual reminders of our values can serve as a helpful way to connect with them each day. If you are feeling crafty you can create a vision board by using cut outs from magazines or newspapers and gluing them to a sheet of paper. You can also create a virtual version using web images or clip art and then printing it out.

Rather than pictures or words of specific material things that you hope to gain, pick things that symbolize valued qualities. For example, if you value family- pick things that symbolize why family is important to you and what kind of a family member you want to be (e.g., caring, supportive, loving, etc.) You can include values for as many domains as you want (e.g., family, friends, romantic relationships, work, health, self-care, etc.)

Post your vision board in a place where you will see it every day (e.g., on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror, next to your bed). Each day when you wake up, look at it and set your daily intention based on one of the values you included.
