How to Use a Vision Board: Using Pinterest as a Vision Board

Using a vision board as part of your journey in making the Law of Attraction work for you is a valuable part of the process, including (but not limited to) making physical scrap booking collages of your goals and – in this social media world – using Pinterest as a vision board.

 

Images have been used for centuries, even dating back to ancient civilizations where different symbols were utilized to convey a variety of concepts. These symbols were even used as a form of communication. It is true that a picture can mean a thousand words especially depending upon the mind in which is interpreting it. Everyone has quite the unique mind as we are all gifted the ability to believe in whatever we choose to believe in.

 

However, some of our beliefs aren’t really of our own but merely ideologies we were conditioned to believe in. This can come down to our faith to the faith we have in ourselves. If a person comes from an abusive environment where their creativity and curiosity are suppressed, it is likely that this individual may have trouble thinking outside of the hypothetical box.

 

Thus, it is no surprise that some individuals carry self-limiting beliefs whether it be about their capabilities, skills, or talents. In such a case, we see people who adopt a fixed-mindset. In short, a fixed-mindset is when a person believes that one’s skills, abilities, and gifts are inherited/fixed and cannot be developed. Therefore, this individual may not take any steps to improve their abilities or cultivate their talents.

 

This mentality often comes from self-limiting beliefs. One’s thoughts influence their feelings and vice versa. Then, those thoughts and feelings influences how a person acts or reacts.

 

It’s important to know the power of your mind so that you can create a reality you desire. In fact, images serve as one great tool to recondition your mind and adopt healthier forms of thought. By changing your mentality as well as learning how to attract things towards you via The Law of Attraction, you can accomplish more of your goals and attain your dreams with ease.

 

What is the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is the philosophy that everything in the universe carries a unique energetic vibration. This includes our feelings as well as our thoughts. It is believed that your reality is a reflection of your state of mind. For example, if you’re not that confident in your abilities, you may attract people or situations where your efforts are underestimated or unappreciated.

 

However, when you feel confident in yourself, other people are more likely to believe in you too. Thus, when it comes to opportunities, they will trust in your abilities and choose you to get the job done.

 

These are just a few examples regarding the Law of Attraction. You can use images as one means to implement a healthier thought process. Journals, affirmations, motivational quotes, and music are a few tools people use when employing the Law of Attraction. It is important to note that the Law of Attraction is always present whether we are aware of it or not. Healthy mindsets create healthy experiences whereas unhealthy mindsets create unhealthy experiences.

 

The Power of Visualization

 

Law of Attraction techniques incorporate different methods of visualization. To effectively visualize, it is important for you to understand what visualization really is. Many people can attest to daydreaming or fantasizing about something or someone they desire to have in their lives. However, with daydreaming, it is more of a mental process that occurs through one’s imagination.

 

Visualization requires a bit more such as the incorporation of your senses whether it be sense of smell, sense of sight, sense of taste, sense of touch, sense of hearing/auditory perception, etc.

 

When visualizing, you want to immerse yourself in the experience of having what it is you are trying to attract towards you. By doing this, you bring that person or thing closer to manifesting in your physical reality. For example, if you are working to manifest a new car, you’ll want to visualize having it already. What do you feel internally having this car?

 

Perhaps you may feel relieved, excited, or incredibly joyous. Close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting in the driver’s seat. How does it feel? Does this car have leather interior? If so, what color? Try to immerse yourself in the ‘new car smell’ that usually accompanies a new car. Be as specific as possible with your visualizations.

 

Law of Attraction and Technology

With the technological age, there is an infinite amount of information readily available to everyone with the simple click of a button. Just in the same notion, there are millions upon billions of images on the internet and millions more circulating everyday.

 

With the constant influx of images, one should be mindful of what they are viewing as images have the power to stick in our subconscious mind. This is also true for the pictures and scenes we see on Television.

 

Technology has the ability to influence us negatively or positively depending on what we expose ourselves to. The mind is a very powerful thing. However, the subconscious mind is quite susceptible to being influenced. The kinds of shows we watch and the type of music we listen to can affect our mood.

 

Our mood can then affect how we view things or how we act towards certain things. Fortunately, you can use technology as a tool for manifesting what you want.

You can cut words from a magazine, cut individual letters, or you can express your creativity by writing these phrases in fancy letters. You can glitter, stickers, and whatever else you feel like adding. If you’re wondering how to use a vision board, it is rather simple.

 

Using Pinterest as a Vision Board

Pinterest is a social media service that allows you to save things like images, gifs, and videos. Within this website or app, you can create folders specifically for a special category. For example, you can create a folder for “wedding ideas”. In this folder, you can save some of your favorite images related to the kind of wedding you want to have.

 

Within the folder, you may add images regarding wedding dress ideas, wedding decor ideas, wedding invitation ideas, and more.

 

Using Pinterest as a vision board can be done this way. It’s convenient because you can carry your vision board wherever you go as you can use the Pinterest mobile app as well. It won’t cost you any money that it would normally if you were to do the physical vision board. Plus, you have a greater selection of images to from and can save things like gifs as well as D.I.Y. articles.

Find a place to put your vision board whether it be on your refrigerator, on your desk, or on your mirror. You’ll want to have it within your immediate environment so that you’re reminded of your dreams. When our minds are focused on something to a high degree, much of our thoughts and actions become shaped around that thing.

 

Items:

• Color printer
• Scissors
• Magazines
• Newspapers
• Markers
• Stickers
• Glitter
• Glue, tape, or pins
• Some sort of board (cork board, poser board, or pin board)
• Time

 

You’ll notice that you start to carry yourself differently as you exude the energy of already having acquired your desire. When it comes to your digital vision board, you can periodically refer to your Pinterest account for further inspiration. Or, you could even have some of these images saved as your wallpaper.

 

Digital Scrap-booking

Creating digital vision boards can be very fun. In a way, it’s sort of like scrap booking. Instead of arranging an album of fun events and family photos, you can compile different folders for all the special new memories you seek to manifest. If you want to jazz up your digital vision board a bit more, there are a variety of apps that help you to merge images and create collages full of inspiration.

 

Apps such as Photo Layers, allow you to remove backgrounds, layer photos, and more. If you want to be really creative, you can take a picture of yourself and edit the picture to look like you are in you dream location.

 

There are really no rules when it comes to creating a vision board. However, there are a few rules of thumb when it comes to the Law of Attraction. We attract what we feel and what we think. Vision boards help us to increase our visualization and manifestation abilities through focusing our thoughts on more of what we want out of life.

 

It’s all about creating something symbolic and inspirational to who it is you are and who it is you seek to become. And, through utilizing social media services such as Pinterest, you can create these vision boards for free and also have the option to share them with others who may aspire to accomplish similar goals.
