7 Expert Tips When Creating Vision Boards
When a new year begins, it’s the perfect time to create vision boards. I’ve always been a believer that you attract what you put out there. That’s exactly what a vision board does, it helps you visualize what you desire.
I’ve never created a vision board; I discovered vision boards via social media. People shared their vision boards and encouraged others to put out into the Universe whatever it is that you desire. I started meeting very happy, positive and successful people who shared their stories about success and putting something on their vision board and it becoming a reality. So, I’ve been thinking about giving it a try.
