Finding Focus Through Vision Boards

By Braden Genese

During the New Year, when people are seeking to change their lives, life coach Bonnie Bruderer, the creator of Vision Boards, acknowledges that there's increased interest in her life-changing product. Vision Boards, which can be useful at any time, are also in demand when people are going through rites of passage such as birthdays, a marriage, and a change in job status.

A Vision Board is an amazingly simple, forthright concept that focuses on resolving complex questions, such as who, what and where do you want to be in the future? In many ways, a Vision Board is a picture of one's future. It's not just about what the future can be, these tools are focused on the active and positive transformation of an individual and even groups.

Along with revealing one's goals and dreams, a Vision Board can also bring about change in one's life. Once constructed by the individual, whose dreams it represents, it carries the positive energy of the individual that created it. These devices help transform people within and they can be instrumental in changing people's daily lives and helping them achieve their goals. Here are Bruderer's seven keys to creating and utilizing a Vision Board.

First, you need the correct supplies. These include poster board, glue stick, scissors and a collection of magazines. Next, participants must schedule time to create their board. Somewhere between two and three consecutive hours are required.

The third part of the process involves ensuring that you have the right space in which to make your board. When putting a Vision Board together, Bruderer notes that it should be done in an atmosphere that is affirmative and constructive. A clear and clean area warmed by natural light and/or augmented with candle light and filled with soothing, buoyant music works well for most people.

The first thing that one has to create for their Vision Board is their "soul sentence." If Vision Boards are Bruderer's expertise then helping others create their soul sentences is her mtier. The soul sentence must be connected to your innermost being.

It's then time to create individual goals in four primary areas: health, relationships, finances, and time management. Just before building the Vision Board, people utilize Bruderer's "Remember Forward" technique, which is designed to reveal any desires that are buried deep within a person.

Once created, the Vision Board is to be used every day as the creator reviews it and feels the positive energy that made him/her make the Vision Board in the first place.
