Vision Board Project

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 an electronic poster displaying what you want in your life or the things that you want to
become.

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:

represented:
a. Emotions (what do you want to feel?)

c. Education (what education do you see yourself pursuing?)
d. Work (what work do you see yourself doing for a living?)

f. Recreational Activities (what would you like to do in your spare time?)
