You can go even deeper in your ritual by taking some time to write about what you want.
One of the best ways to tap into your desires is by journaling. At my retreats, we do several writing activities before the Vision Board adventure begins.
Here are a few questions to write down in your journal as “prompts.†Answer them before you begin your Vision Board. Take five minutes to answer aloud. If money, people’s opinions and judgments, and fear were not factors – what would I want to be, do, or have?
- What beliefs would I have to let go of to bring this into my life?
- What would I have to believe in order to be, do, or have these things?
- What really matters to me?

Be Do Have List
If this is too challenging, then you can also create a BE DO HAVE LIST.
Then, make lists of things as you think of them. You don’t have to go in order. Maybe, for instance, the rst thing you remember is that you want a new environmentally friendly washer and drier. Put it down on the HAVE list.
Then, maybe you sit there for a second, and you remember how the beach makes you feel a deep sense of inner peace. So you write: “Two-week vacation at the Outer Banks†in the DO category. And you follow that up by writing, “Peaceful†in the BE section.
Then you realize that you want to be someone who lives in a constant state of TRUST. So you write “Trusting†in the BE category.
You get the idea. If you’re an entrepreneurial creative type like me, then your mind can go all over the place – and it makes per- fect sense to you.
The point of all of this is to simply remind you to take some time for clarity, ritual and stillness before you create your Vision Board!
