Visual Inspiration to Drive Your Goals

Hey Friends! This week we are talking about Vision Boards. I’m sure you’ve heard of them because everyone seems to be talking about them this time of year, but really, they are nothing new. Designers have been using “Mood Boards” and “Design Boards” for decades to help clients and team members visualize what the designer has in mind. These kinds of vision boards often have sketches, paint chips, fabric swatches, and magazine or catalog clippings that bring the concept to life. Law Enforcement also uses a type of vision board that you’ve probably seen on television.  They will use maps with pinned locations, newspaper articles, mugshot photos, and even scraps of evidence pinned to a bulletin board. Laying out all the pieces in this visual manner often helps the investigators see patterns that they might have missed when looking at documents and files in a stack. 

Modern Vision Boards really aren't that much different. Visual references and reminders are a powerful tool for developing habits and routines, increasing memory retention, and so much more. Even when we don’t consciously think about what we are seeing, our subconscious brain registers those visual cues and emotional responses. That’s why it’s very important to surround ourselves with positive inspiration and visual aids to help us along our journey to achieve our goals. By setting intention in everything we do, including what we see in our everyday environment, we are laying the best and most solid foundation for the path to our best life.

Today, I’m sharing with you a little video that Amber, Christen, and I made to share our vision board creation process. Please bear with us…as you can see, we are not videographers, but we’re learning!

I hope you enjoyed our video, and more importantly, I hope it inspires you to create a vision board of your own. It’s super easy, but it can add up to great results! I hope you’ll share yours on our Facebook group, MMC Chat.
