Engineer Your Future With Vision Boarding

Ultimately, the goal of a vision statement is to harness the power of positive thinking. By intentionally choosing a life path, you’ll be more capable of manifesting it. You might see new opportunities where before you would have been blind to them, or feel more motivated to work towards your goal as other distractions fall away. There’s psychological research that explores other effects of positive thinking, which suggests that people will attract into their lives whatever they focus on. It is absolutely possible to use mental willpower, determination, and focus to manifest real actions that carry your toward your goals. 

Of course, no vision board is complete without this final step. Mapping out the path will lead you closer to your end goal. Here at Wisely Wellbeing, we help you create SMART goals, which are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based. They’re not just wishes or fantasies—SMART goals involve a specific plan to achieve a goal that you’ve reflected upon and find desirable. These goals might be short-term or long-term, establish an end goal or encourage an ongoing process. 

A SMART goal is different from a vision statement because it’s focused on the process of achieving a goal, rather than the end product alone. Think of your SMART goal like a roadmap: it will tell you how you’ll achieve your goal and why it’s important to you. How are you going to achieve your dream? What steps will you take? How long will it take you? These are all important questions that your SMART goal will address. 

Your goals will help carry you to the future you want. When failure or defeat occurs, remember that it’s only temporary. Everyone dreams, but not everyone tries to achieve their dreams. When you feel discouraged, embrace that feeling as a challenge to overcome. Ultimately, don’t forget to dream—and work to make that dream a reality.
