create a vision board

we do these things called Point-of-view (POV) boards and they’re basically photo references and inspiration images for our projects. Thing is, I can easily do that but I can’t do one for my own life. I just keep putting it off. I was supposed to have done this over the summer and look, it’s winter already! Boo me. :(

I love reading the posts here that people share. It’s great and I get ideas too! And I’m just blown away by the joy and the excitement that just oozes through even though I’m reading this online. It’s still great and it’s good to see that this goal does garner good results, as well as it being a fun activity.

I have still yet to do mine and I can’t decide if I want to limit it with a board or just stick stuff to my wall. The thing is, I know I’m staying at my current place for at least 4 more months and probably at least for another 5 more after that…but you never know, right? And I’d hate to dismantle that stuff piece by piece from a wall and rearrange it at my new place. Perhaps I’ll just do several vision boards in bits and then piece them as one large installation on my wall. That might work. Or distribute them around the room. That could work as well. I do have different goals anyway…those that are related to career, those related to relationships, etc. I don’t know! So many options and so little time. So little space too.

I’m starting this on Wednesday or Thursday! I will have to finish it very soon as well. Here are just some things I’m putting on it. I have a list of 50 things but I need to narrow it down to what I truly truly need to remember!

1. People I can trust around me
2. Traveling
3. Continually broadening my horizons
4. Being healthy by eating well and exercising
5. A good career (preferably the one I’m passionate about)
6. Learning about different cultures and religions
7. Trying new foods
8. Supportive communities!
9. Supporting my family financially and emotionally
10. Financial independence

I bought boards. I need to get more rubber cement and maybe access to a printer. I don’t know…maybe I should just buy ink. Anyway, it sounds fun and I have tons of quotes just waiting to be used! :D I have some pretty paper, as well as some colorful paper. It’s just waiting for me to use it!

I should buy ribbon to decorate the outer edges, though. What a thought!

I feel that I’m losing myself and that I’m changing into a person I might not like. I think doing this might help to regain more focus. I just really need to center myself.

I wanted to make might be smaller than I remembered. But that’s all right. It’s definitely enough space, anyhow. I might also want to use the back of my bedroom door too. I was thinking I might want to tack photos of family and friends there, though. Ahh I don’t know. I’ll figure it out this weekend or after.

I’m moving into a new place in a week or two and there’s on part of the room that’s rendered useless due to this weird renovation thing they did but I could use that wall to post my visions!!! My goals and dreams and happy things. :) It’ll be a nice way to decorate as well without damaging anything.

I can’t afford to buy a cork board or anything and that’d limit my space so I might just pick up foam core scraps at my campus and tack on papers to that and then make interesting patterns on the wall. :D

I don’t have a place to hang mine so I might just paste on my wall…it shouldn’t harm the paint too much. It’s better than driving a nail into it to hang a corkboard.

I haven’t started yet. At home, I had a bunch of stuff collected, images and what not. I have to start anew here but I think I can do that!
