Goal & Dream Setting Vision Boards

You will reflect upon, document and present your personal dreams and goals in the form of a personal “Vision
Board”.

A vision board is simply a visual representation or collage of the things that you want to have, be, or do in your life.
It consists of a poster or bulletin board with cut-out pictures, drawings and/or writing on it of the things that you
want in your life or the things that you want to become.

Creating a vision board is a fun and creative way for you to become clear on your dreams and desires and
transform them into reality. We become what we think about and our lives are created from our thoughts.
Unfortunately, we spend much of our lives thinking about what we don't want and often that is what we draw into
our lives. One of the most powerful aspects of a vision board is that you create a visual representation of your
dreams and desires helping you to put your attention on what you want to bring into your life.

What does a Vision Board Do?

1. A vision Board helps us to become very clear about what we want.
2. A Vision Board makes your goals visible and keeps them in front of your eyes.
3. A Vision Board reminds you of what you want.
4. A Vision Board allows you to choose your goals.
5. A Vision Board reminds you of what you are working for.
6. A Vision Board keeps you in a positive mood - as you put your attention on it you will feel yourself receiving
what you desire.
7. A vision Board allows you to create a purpose in life.

Instructions:
a. Create a list of images you would like to include on your vision board. At least 5 of the following categories
should be represented.
- Emotions (what do you want to feel?)
- Relationships (who do you want to have close relationships with?)
- Education (what education do you see yourself pursuing?)
- Work (what work do you see yourself doing for a living?)
- Required Skills (what skills would you need to do your work, hobbies?)
- Location (where do you see yourself living – both city/town, type of dwelling?)
- Recreational Activities (what would you like to do in your spare time?)
- Lifestyle (how much money do you want to have)
b. Select approximately 5-7 images that best illustrate your above goals or dreams
c. Create text to describe images, thoughts or feelings.
d. Arrange images on poster or bulletin board paper in a meaningful manner.
