If you are using a Vision Board to visualize your goals and dreams, what kind of images are you putting on this board. Are they generic images of the things you would like to be, do or have? For instance, a happy couple on a holiday, representing your desire to go on a tropical get-a-way with your partner? How do these pictures make you feel?

I ask this because I got very present again this week to the power of selecting the right images for my own personal Vision Board. I realized it is really effective to …

…be very specific and personal in your visualization!

You see, for quite some time one of my goals was to spend more time with my family back home in The Netherlands. For this reason I had put a picture of me and my family on my Vision Board. I then looked at my Vision Board every day with intent, imagining being there, right beside them. I felt great just feeling as if I had already achieved this goal. And you know what? Just over the past few months, my husband, my son and I were able to go to The Netherlands for 2 1/2 months. We were able to create a situation where we could actually stay a long time and spend some amazing quality time with family and friends.

I just came back last week and noticed my printed Vision Board again in my office with that family picture on it. I realized it had worked exactly the way I intended, and that the effect of a really personal image is surprisingly strong! Having an image showing both my parents, myself, my husband and my son all smiling and happy together had created a very powerful feeling of desire to achieve this goal and really inspired me a lot to take my daily actions. By visualizing my goal this way, my “feeling as if” it has already happened was very strong which eventually attracted this goal into my reality.

As you know, it is the feeling you have when looking at your dream images that eventually will attract your goals into your life.

So my advice to you this week: check out your Vision Board. Are the images specific enough and is the feeling they create powerful? You might have an image of your dream car on your Vision Board. More powerful will be to use an image of YOU IN THE CAR. So go to the dealer and ask for a test drive (excellent visualization on its own…) and take a picture with you behind the wheel. Use that on your Vision Board, and add an affirmation like “I am so happy that I now drive my dream car”. For business success, use an image of you achieving certain success in your business or career, that makes you feel proud and successful. Be creative and mostly: be specific and personal!

Have a powerful week!
