DIY Vision Board and How It Helps Your Reach Your Goals




     We all have goals, dreams and visions of what we want to accomplish in our life.  But many of us let our dreams get lost when life gets crazy and we are focusing on too many things.  Today is the day we need to change that so we can catch our old dreams, create new ones and make our dreams a reality.  We need to work together and inspire each other as we all work towards reaching our goals and go from being a dreamer to doer.

     Over the past few weeks we have been working together to achieve our dreams.  If you’ve missed the past few posts check out How to Not Let Your Dreams Get Lost in the Clouds HERE.  How to Live Your Dreams Smart HERE, and 10 Tips to Better Time Management HERE so you can continue on our journey from being a dreamer to doer.

     Zig Ziglar once said, “You can’t hit a target you cannot see, and you cannot see a target you do not have.”  So first we need to “have our target” or goals.  What dreams do you have for your future?  What smaller goals do you have in place to accomplish these dreams?  If you need help breaking down your dreams into goals HERE is a link that can help you. 

     Next we need to “see our target”.  Instead of making a list (which is great too!) I decided to create a vision board.  It helps me be able to see exactly what I want to accomplish (in a fun and personal way).  So here is step by step guide how I created mine:

Step 1: Gather Supplies

  • Piece of paper
  • Old magazine (any kind)
  • Scissors
  • Tape or Glue

Step 2:  Cut Out Pictures From Any Magazine
Try to find pictures or headings that make you think of your goals.  I went through the entire “Good Housekeeping” magazine and I was very surprised how many pictures I found!  Try to cut them all out (you can sort them out when you are all done).


Step 3: Sort Through All The Pictures
I found tons of pictures and decided to throw out a few that I didn’t need.  If you don’t have enough, try going through a new magazine.  You can also print things off the internet if you want to include something specific.

Step 4: Tape It All Together

Step 5: Hang Up Your Vision Board
Try to find a place you will see many times a day; bathroom mirror, fridge, your desk, or you could even take a picture of it and make it your home screen on your phone.  Every time you see your vision board, you will have another time to think about your goals throughout the day. 

My End Result

  
I would love to hear and learn from you.  So dreamers, what are your dreams?  Do you think creating a vision board help you think about your goals and inspire you to act on them?  How are you living your dreams right now?

10 Tips to Better Time Managment





My cousin used to always ask himself, "Everyone has 24 hours in the day, what can I do in that time better my life?"  I think this is a great question to ask yourself everyday in order to prioritize your day giving you more time to follow your dream.  If you are new to this page, we have been working on living our dreams and going from being a dreamer to doer.  If you missed the last 2 post you can find "How To Not Let Your Dreams Get Lost In the Clouds" HERE and "How To Live Our Dreams Smarter" HERE. 

How We Can Follow Our Dreams the Smart Way




We all have crazy lives between family, work, school, and any other obligations.  But today is the day we start following our dreams, the smart way.  We all need to work together and inspire each other to go from being a dreamer to doer.  Last week we took our first step by creating goals and writing them down.  We also divided our goals into categories making it easier for us to live our dreams.  I hope these first steps has inspired you to take the next step, creating a plan to achieve our goals.  By creating a plan we are able to make a conscious effort every day to focus and act on our goals.  It also allows our minds to continually create a smarter plan to accomplish more tasks  If you missed lasts weeks post you can find it HERE.

I am excited to be part of my first blog crawl put together by Debrina Wright- Williams in honor of her upcoming  Dreamers 2 Doers Retreat Inspired by "The Desire Map" and her 10 Day Discovery Adventure program.

Create, Live and Inspire Even When Life Is Crazy

James Dean once said "Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today."   
Everyone has goals, dreams and visions of what they want to achieve in their life.  But many of us let our dreams get lost "in the clouds" when life gets crazy and we are focusing on too many things already.  Today is the day we need to change that so we can live, catch our old dreams, create new ones and make our dreams a reality.  We need to work together and inspire each other so that we can all meet our personal goals and go from being a dreamer to doer.


Dreams Should Be Divided But Not Forgotten


When I'm busy I like to create a to do lists and check off each item so I can make sure I don't forget what I need to do that day.  As I focus on these lists it is difficult for me to also think about my dreams for the future, making them easily forgotten.  But I have learned that if I divide my dreams into smaller groups or goals I am able to focus on a certain portion or milestone each day making it possible for me to get a few steps closer to achieving my goals.

What Are Your Goals and How can You Divide Them?


In my experience all goals can be divided into 4 main groups:

Family
Health
Social
Financial Stability

I want you to take a few minutes to think about your dreams, goals, and visions.  What are your dreams?  What do you want to achieve in your life?  Can you divide them into these groups?

My Goals


Family: I want to become the best mother to Baby Z  while continuing to strengthen my marriage.
Health:  I want to get back into my pre-pregnancy body and size.
Social:  I would like to meet new “mommy” friends.
Financial Stability:  I want to finish my degree in business, grow my blog, and start my own business doing nails.

The First Step to go from Being a Dreamer to Doer


My grandma once said “A goal not written down is only a wish.”  
I’m not really sure where she got that quote from but I know it is true and it is the first step to making your dreams a reality.  By writing dreams we can visually see our dreams every day.  Is also gives us chance to think about what we will DO to accomplish them.  So whether your at your desk, on the couch, or at an appointment write your goals down.



How I Started Turning My Dreams Into Reality


In my life I've been able to accomplish many of my goals.  I learned how accomplish my goals by using trial and error of others advice and tips to create my own method that only takes a few minutes a day.  Here are a few steps:
Divide my dreams into smaller goals
Write them down
Create a plan of what I can do to follow my dreams
Keep track of my daily, weekly, and monthly progress
Use my time more wisely
Use visuals to always remind me of the milestones I wanted to achieve

Tired of Trying and Not Seeing Results?


Before I created my own method it was difficult to successfully accomplish my goals because I didn't know how.  If this is you or if you want to try new way to start doing your goals, subscribe to my page.  By subscribing you will get new steps, details, quotes, and other inspiring thoughts sent straight to your email.  You can also follow me on social media.
