Vision Boards have been popular for a very long time now. Everyone likes the idea and the concept behind it. There are some who scoff at the idea of creating a vision board but the moment they start creating their own, all the judgements and presumptions vanish into thin air.
So,
actually,
everyone likes Vision Boards!
Why?
Because who doesn’t like dreaming? Accomplishing? Feeling fulfilled?
How A VISION BOARD looks
Vision Boards can be created in a book/notebook/chart paper/computer, etc. It’s like artwork but the kind that includes everything you choose to attract/manifest in your life.
How Vision Boards work ( & why they don’t)
Vision Boards are amazing because they put us in alignment with our desires. A lot of the time, most people don’t exactly know what they want and why. Their intentions of wanting something are highly influenced by social media. Social media breeds comparison and jealousy. Add that to lack of self worth and major self image issues which most people have… it results in 80% + people not knowing who they truly are,
what they stand for,
what their purpose in life is,
what their desires are…
so what would they put on their Vision Board?
If you carefully look around and ask the right questions you will realise how highly influenced everyone is.
Reasons Vision Boards don’t work
a> it’s usually done in groups
b> inability to recognise and remove BLOCKS (negative beliefs associated with goals)
a> Group Vision Board Workshops
When a Vision Board Coach gathers more than one person to do this workshop, he/she is unable to give individual attention discussing goals and the intentions behind it in detail with every participant. Participants take time to open up about their true intentions of wanting to put a bag/shoe/jewels/car/job/soulmate in front of another participant (fear of judgement always creeps in). Also, the process of setting life’s goals is highly personal which many people need a lot of time & the right line of questioning to think over.
Note: Always remember, the thing that actually gets manifested from the VISION BOARD is your intention.
MY PERSONAL EXAMPLE
One of the years, I had dedicated a whole section of my vision board to doing many courses. I had put together a list of 6 courses to do that year. As the year progressed, I realised that I ended up doing only 2 or 3 out of those 6 courses I wrote on the Vision Board but actually did 9 courses that year in total. New amazing courses came up in my life which I always had a desire to do but didn’t know where to go.
My Vision Board manifested my intent to learn and grow.
b> Inability to recognise and remove BLOCKS
(negative beliefs associated with goals)
We are always in a manifesting mode. We are manifesting ALL THE TIME. Look around you, everything, every relationship/situationship is a manifestation.
Example:
When a person who really needs to rest and wants to rest because maybe they are overworked or overwhelmed or both but their core beliefs are:
I can’t afford to rest right now.
I am lazy if I rest.
Resting is for losers.
I am a hustler.
Hustling is for winners.
Winners hustle.
These beliefs BLOCK them from taking the break really need to recharge and they manifest an accident or a fall/injury or fall sick. In some cases their work (clients/customer orders) suffer just so that they can slow down. This doesn’t happen overnight, it happens if a person has been stalling rest for months and months at a stretch. Your subconscious mind understands that without rest you will burn out and your core limiting beliefs won’t let you rest so the accident or a fall/injury or falling sick happens just as a desperate attempt to slow you down. So in that moment, what you have actually manifested is REST,
rest that you actually need.
When I said that we are manifesting all the time, I mean we are manifesting on a subconscious level. That’s why subconscious work (healing/digging, etc.) is of paramount importance.
Now, all this is true even for manifesting good things in life.
If a girl wants to manifest an amazing partner but grew up seeing bad marriages or hasn’t healed from previous relationship traumas, she will not be able to manifest love in her life… no matter how well she puts it on her vision board.
It’s the JOB of your VISION BOARD Coach to dig you for blocks on each of the manifestations and goals you choose to write in your Vision Board. It’s ideal if your Vision Board is created one-on-one with someone who knows how to dig the subconscious mind, ask the right questions to figure out the true intent behind every goal/dream.
Why?
BECAUSE YOUR INTENT GETS MANIFESTED.
EXAMPLE
I was working with a girl who had put a luxury handbag in her list of manifestations. When I dug her for blocks, it came up that she had a limiting belief that if she carries these luxury bags, she will be looked at with respect and deemed classy. She thought that carrying that bag would command respect and create a certain reputation.
(Note: These things can never come up in a group Vision Board setting. This has to be done one-on-one with someone who creates a safe, non-judgemental space for you. Also, it took a few minutes for this girl to come up with this realisation so it was more in the subconscious.)
Should we really buy things to get respect?
If you answer yes, you really need to work on yourself because it’s a telltale of a ‘worthiness issue’.
People who label and blame society for their desires and beliefs can never grow because blaming steals your ability to take accountability. No one ever tells you to do something… you do it by your own will. If people around you respect brands and only people who carry brands, you need to change your circle, but before that, change yourself.
Another girl I worked with had put up a Dior bag (or maybe it was Louis Vuitton I don’t remember clearly) on her list of desires for her Vision Board. When I asked her if she knew how much it and cost and if it was worth it… she said
‘Oh my God Sia, I had no idea this Dior bag costs so much. I don’t think it makes sense for me to get it.’
By the way, this girl could have gathered the funds for it and could have managed to get the bag but after knowing how much it cost, it just didn’t seem worth the price.
Then I asked her if her boyfriend/husband gifted it to her, how would she feel?
She said-
“Honestly, Sia, I would be happy for a moment for his grand gesture and generosity but I’d feel he wasted his hard earned money. I would tell him that a holiday would have been a better choice because we could explore the world together.”
See how mindlessly we can put goals on our Vision Board.
Everything must be very well thought through.
Your Vision Board Coach has to sit one-on-one with you to discuss details of all your goals, intentions and recognize blocks to be removed. Demand it from whoever is selling Vision Board workshops to you.
If you really want Vision Boards to work, please do it the right way.
Can we work together on your Vision Board?
Yes, of course!
