Manifesting Your Dreams with a Vision Board

I’m sure you have heard the word manifestation tossed around, this year more than ever. You might even think it’s a “woo woo fad” or something complicated. But it’s something we are always doing, without even realizing it sometimes. Manifesting simply means to create something in the real world.

I had a big desire to teach at a yoga studio in my neighborhood. The goal really was to be able to walk to work and enjoy a nice walk back home after teaching. The only problem? There were not any studios within walking distance of my house. Nonetheless, a girl can still dream, right? I began envisioning this daily. I thought about what it would feel like to walk to work. I actually walked through my neighborhood pretending I was walking to my “yoga studio”. 

A few months later, a new studio appeared in my neighborhood. Shocked, I checked out their schedule online and booked my first class. I began my walk to the studio that day, thinking to myself “I am their newest teacher and I will continue to make this same walk weekly”. That same day, the owner offered me a teaching position. That’s manifestation. You can manifest small or big things, cheap or expensive. 

A vision board is a tool for manifestation. 
Having a vision board full of your goals helps you visualize these dreams more easily. When you see what you want every single day, you start to create paths to these desires. Your dreams don’t get pushed back behind your daily mental to do lists. They are right in front of you reminding you that this can be yours if you stay focused on your goals.

3 steps to manifesting your dreams with a vision board

1. Get clear on what you want. If you want a big house, then don’t put a picture of a modest sized house on your board. Why limit yourself to a smaller house when what you want is a BIG house? Clarity is key.  
2. Hang up your vision board somewhere that you will see everyday. Set the intention to stop and look at your board each time you pass it.
3. Be grateful as if your greatest desires have already been met. Each time you pass your vision board, imagine yourself already living in that huge house and give thanks as if it’s already yours.
