How To Vision Board

Get started with #goalsetting and know how to translate it into a #visionboard.

One of my passionate pursuits is goal setting. For me, my goals are my purpose. They are the reason why I wake up in the morning and thrive through my experiences. You might wonder where I've picked up such a thing and I give all the credit to my dad for teaching me all I needed to know. Below are my learnings and understanding of what a vision board is and how it should be done.

As a birthday present, my dad requested that we share with him our 2019 Vision Board. He believes in the power of visualization; hence, the vision board serves as a tool in keeping one focused on his goals, combined with a little effort: of love, tenacity, & patience in our work; and prayer, of course!

VISION BOARD 101

What is a vision board?

A vision board consists of visuals which expresses your goals and motivations. It's objective is to define your purpose, to encourage an optimistic view of life, to boost your self-esteem, and to mentally train your mind into going after something worthwhile and knowing you can accomplish them.

How to make a vision board:

1. Organize your thoughts. Write down what you want to achieve for the year and narrow it down to at least 3 to 5 feasible goals. After you've done this, plan and create an action plan as to HOW you can achieve your goals. No plan ever moves forward without action. ;)

2. Curate, collect, and cut images and/or text that will best represent your goals. Visuals are an essential element in the vision board. Here, you can get creative! Check out my Pinterest for visuals.

3. Compile your cut out images and/or text and put them up your wall, a corkboard, or whichever area in your home and/or workplace that's easily sighted or immediately noticed. The purpose of the vision board is for you to be able to visualize your goals everyday.

*Tip: because you want to notice this, better choose bright photos or text with a fun background or graphic. You may also cut your images in to various shapes.

My top 5 goals for the year: 1) to be consistent in writing and publishing content for tammiesunday.com, 2) to build on my savings, 3) to travel to the US to visit relatives and friends, 4) to make time for personal projects and leisure activities (monthly r&r), and 5) to thrive throughout the year and not only survive (with the help of prayer and work on my part) :D

ADDITIONAL CONTENT ALERT!

I've thought of sharing a how-to: Reminders Board because it consists of the same process as that of creating a vision board but only, it's meant for a different purpose: for your "things to do" and "notes to self" posts.

In this board you may also include other visuals (besides your "to-do's") for inspiration or motivation. For me, these--- words of affirmation, a photo taken in a sandbar where one of my best friends and i found a starfish (indicating the beach!) , a photo of cole sprouse, a photo of a plant to remind me of my indoor plant: Evergreen, a list of my current fave songs, and a Sunday fam photo--- complete my reminders board. :)

JUAN DISIPLINADO BY: RAYMOND DOMINGO

My dad, Raymond Domingo, is one of my greatest mentors. He taught me the value of discipline, the secret ingredient towards achieving success in any field or in accomplishing any goal. Because of his passion and advocacy towards educating people about the relevance of discipline, I am proud to announce that he is in the process of fulfilling one of his lifetime goals: to publish a book of his own. (Note: book launch is coming soon! will keep you guys posted!)

Juan Disiplinado begins with an old Filipino tale, one that we, Juans, are popularly known for. It proceeds with highlighting the virtue of discipline, changing that negative notion towards Juans, and connecting it with other ideas derived from or probably rooted from discipline. In the book he features notable personas, Juan Disiplinados, such as Bo Sanchez and Chinkee Tan to specifically showcase how they've inculcated discipline in their lives, leading them towards success.
