What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a visualization tool which refers to a board of any sort used to build a collage of words and pictures that represent your goals and dreams. https://www.jackcanfield.com/blog/how-to-create-an-empowering-vision-book/
My dearest friend and I have been working on creating vision boards, as part of our war on quarantine fatigue. Making a trip to the grocery store to buy magazines, asking neighbors for some, dreaming and pondering about just what we wanted to include... all were amazingly effective in lifting our spirits and giving us some things to get excited about again. I must admit, I'm not quite optimistic enough to include travel on mine yet, but one certainly could.
Mine includes finding a specific action to help save the planet, craft projects I want to create, remodeling and refining my studio into a welcoming haven, creating a reading and prayer oasis in the corner of my bedroom, plans for renovating the front and back yards next spring, getting healthy, etc. Those are just mine.... for now.... I can always add layers to it.
We put them on white poster board. But of course, I couldn't just leave mine plain. For the background, I sprayed red wine from a spray bottle over leaves to make a soft, subtle purply-gray design. Because I could.
If you are skirting mild depression because you don't have anything to look forward to during these very strange times, I encourage you to try making your own vision board. There are lots of articles on the internet to help with ideas. It's amazing how much better I feel. (And just to explain, the word Peacock on my board is for the next art basket that has been begging to be woven for the last two years...I really need to get it done!)
