If you’ve ever pulled out your vision board supplies in January feeling all motivated and ready, you already know how this story usually goes.
Your vision board looks FABULOUS, you hang it up, you feel inspired for a few weeks, and then life happens. Somewhere around February or March it becomes a dust collector. And then December rolls around and you’re thinking about doing it all over again for your New Year, New Me vibes.
Vision boards just become a craft project and your life is pretty much exactly the same. Which sucks. I’m not saying this to make you feel bad about it cuz honestly the whole world is telling you that January is THE time for this.
New year, new you, fresh start, set your intentions, make your vision board. It’s everywhere. And it makes sense that you’d follow that energy. But today I want to spill an insider secret about what that tradition is doing to your vision board without you realizing it.
Your Vision Board Was Never Meant To Be Seasonal
When you tie your vision board to January you’re unconsciously treating it like a resolution. And we all know what happens to resolutions. They feel urgent and exciting in the beginning and then they slowly lose their grip on you. That’s because they were built on motivation and motivation is not a renewable resource. (Hello? Unused gym membership, anyone?)
Your vision board was never meant to ride the wave of New Year energy. It was meant to be a living tool that grows with you, and works on your belief system consistently over time. Consistent being the key word there. Because the way your subconscious builds new beliefs is through repetition and emotion, not through one inspired January afternoon with a glass of wine and some magazines.
Before I confuse you, let me explain something. When I say subconscious beliefs, that is because 95% of what you experience is based on what you believe. So your vision board isn’t really about what you want but about what you believe.
That’s why when your vision board only comes out once a year it never gets the chance to do what it’s supposed to do. It becomes a snapshot of what you wanted in January instead of a reflection of who you’re becoming right now.
What Happens When You Treat It Like A Living Tool
Here’s what changes when your vision board becomes something you work with all year .. The best thing is you add new desires as they come up. Because I dont’ know about you but I think of new things I would love for my life all the time!
Also, you don’t set it and forget it. Which matters cuz you can’t build new beliefs if you stare at something a few times. You actually use your vision board as a tool instead of a decoration.
That’s when it stops being a pretty reminder of things you wish you had and starts feeling like who you’re becoming. And that shift in how it feels is exactly what tells your subconscious to start paying attention.
Your desires don’t wait until January to show up and your vision board shouldn’t either.
The First Step To Making It Work All Year
If your vision board has been a January tradition that never quite delivers, the first thing to look at is what’s actually on it. Because now that you know that you can add to it whenever you want, you don’t have to scatter your energy trying to shove every little wish you have on it right now.
But I hate the whole guessing game thing so I made you the 5-Minute Vision Board Fix. It will walk you through the exact process my members use so chaotic energy can become focused energy.
So no matter what time of year you are reading this snag the 5-Minute Fix and get started on bringing your dreams to life today.
