Hi My loves, I’m back! I missed my self love tribe so much. I would first like to start this post off by first saying Happy New Year! And if you’re even able to read this post this year, then I’m happy and grateful to know you all have survived the perspective of 2020’s vision. I feel like it has given us such a gruesome reality check of the current state of what our country and so many others are in. But hey let’s look at the brighter side of what we need more improvement on, and what’s a better time to say that then in the beginning of what I call 2020 WON!.
Did y’all get my corny joke? Yeah that’s right even though we may feel like we may have lost quite a lot, and went through so many roadblocks after another roadblock. This year is the year in which “we are” , no scratch that I mean “we will” say enough is enough. All we will focus on this year is winning. But before I explain how so, let’s clear the air. Anyone who reads this post is like a close friend to me, and if I were to ghost a close friend for a couple of months, then I would need some explaining to do right? Well, in the last few months or last year alone we all know it has been quite difficult for others to cope with the circumstances we have all been going through, and it just so happens that one of those people happens to have been me. Not only due to COVID but life has changed drastically, and with that alone priorities had to shift as well. That even meant that the blog had to take a minor break. I also believe I may have mentioned this before but in addition to my blog, I have also expanded my brand with my “self care” skin products, and if you may be interested in making any purchases feel free to go to my shop and check out my self care products. On top of that, I also decided to go back to school and work, and with much excitement I’m very happy to say that I’m finally working toward my last semester before earning my degree. So I can definitely say that last year came with a few challenges, but it was very fruitful in many ways. So the question is after so many years of wanting to go back to work, school, and finally start my new business, how did I do it ?
I made a vision board and the rest was history. Now let’s stop playing and get to it.
Why did I choose a vision board to set my goals?
Goals are good but vision boards are better. At least that’s my opinion. When I tell you that nearly everything I posted on my vision board I accomplished I mean it.
One reason I believed my goals were so easy to accomplish was because I was able to visualize it. I am a visual learner and always have been, so I know I’m not alone when I say “I have to see it to believe it”. Simple as that.
The next reason I chose a vision board is simply because waking up and seeing the same vision board and goals became a part of my daily routine. Every day in 2020 my vision board was kind of like a constant reminder. Each morning I saw it and it reminded me of the goals I needed to accomplish other than trying to frantically flip to the page in my notebook to find the page in which I wrote my goals on.
Finally the third reason I chose a vision board is because I guess it’s easy to say, but it’s way better than writing down long term goals in a notebook. Like at this point just throw away the whole entire paper you write your long term goals on, and let’s have some fun accomplishing these goals.
What do you put on a vision board?
On a vision board any everything you would want to accomplish this year goes on your board. Make it Fun. Make it Adventurous. Make it Kinky!
It’s your life and you can live it however you may feel it to be fit. But I’m not gonna send you out to Walmart just to buy a blank poster board, so you can just be scratching your head looking all the more confused. So I’m gonna give you a few topics you should definitely consider putting on your board.
- How do you want your Physical Health to be? Do you want to lose weight or Do you want to eat healthier. It’s your choice.
- Is all about your Mental health. How is that headspace really gonna be at the end of the year? It’s all on you do you want better sleep, more intimacy with yourself or your spouse, or just a little bit more self confidence.
- Is all about your Social Health. Are you feeling a little more introverted than you intended to be? Then choose to be a little more friendly, by choosing better friends, and try being more positive toward others and yourself.
- Is about them Finances. Are you securing the bag this year or nah? If so then let’s envision creating multiple incomes, budgeting, and eliminating debt on our board. You can never get too rich right.
- Is finally Emotional & Spiritual Health. Along with that vision let’s check in on the faith and positivity. Let’s learn to be more optimistic with our capability. Focus on having a positive mindset, let’s finally learn to extend our love for ourselves to our flaws and insecurities. Learn how to build a better daily relationship with GOD. And I’m not saying all these things must be included on your vision board but pick a few topics from these six vision board topics, and you’ll be just fine.
What do you need to create a vision board?
It’s so simple. In fact it is so simple that you might as well call it an occasion, buy some more supplies for your girlfriends, get some wine, and tell your friends to come hang out with you for the day. If you want to do it solo dolo then it’s all lemon squeezy stop at the store and get your supplies, turn a nice Pandora station on, don’t forget the wine and be the visionary you were intended to be.
but on a serious note the only 4 things you really need for your vision board. Is a lightweight poster board, a magazine, some scissors and a glue stick. Then you cut out the images you envision or have an idea of achieving and then glue it onto your vision board.
I’ll show you an example Here’s an image of how my vision board looked in 2020 .
The whole entire concept of a vision board is not only to accomplish the goals you’ve been longing for, but to have an idea and to understand and to believe that it’s possible and if only, I mean only we can see it to believe it. Then we might just be able to achieve it. Do Not give yourself permission to limit yourself to anything, open yourself up to the world and learn to be a solution to some of the world’s problems. We need your help just by being a better you.
Peace and Love, and be a blessing to one another
