How to Create a Vision Book In Four Quick and Easy Steps

There are many ideas for making a vision board, but what about creating a vision book? They both accomplish the same thing, but you might find the vision book even more effective in achieving your goal – aligning your energy with what you deeply desire so that you can attract it now.

Why do vision books work:

According to Elizabeth Rider, “It’s all about your brain: Your reticular activating system (RAS) is the ‘filtering station’ of your brain. Constantly seeing the images on your vision board helps your brain filter out the stuff you don’t know while focusing on what you want. Seeing a constant visual reminder of your goals is how your subconscious mind stays focused on your goals.”

So, how do you go about doing this? Let’s get started:

The first step is to brainstorm.

Now’s the time to let your mind and dreams run wild!

As you learn how to create a vision book, consider some of these questions:

• How do I want to feel every day in my life?
• Where can I see my life expanding?
• What words describe my highest self and how she moves through her day?
• What are some inspirational ideas that come to mind in the areas of health, vitality, work, family, love, relationships, spirituality, travel, style, and hobbies?

Get very specific! What do you want to create? How do you want to feel? Write it down.

Next, collect images that invoke the emotions you want to feel.

Take a bit of time and collect images from the internet. There are so many websites out there that allow you to download pictures for free.

According to SelfMadeLadies.com, when selecting images, recognize the importance of choosing those that match the energy and emotions, and seem to click with your subconscious mind.

Let’s take a deeper dive:

1. Energy: Recognize where your energy is currently and select images that match the energy of where you want to be.
2. Emotions: Emotions are the fuel that supports your energetic level. The images you select must evoke the emotion you want to feel. Small details matter! It may be the distinct look on the woman’s face or the way the sun is setting behind that couple. Pay attention to how images make you feel the instant you see them.
3. Your Subconscious Mind: When your subconscious mind is aligned with the images, energy, and emotions in your book, the universe can take the lead and move your desired outcome closer and closer to your reality.

Now it’s time to create your book!

As you create your book, imagine that you are communing with the universe and creating a vision of your highest self and who you want to be in this world.

Keep your vibration high as you assemble each page.

Critical step: Add written words and quotes to your photos.

According to Jack Canfield:

“Your vision of your ideal life shouldn’t be focused on ‘stuff’ so much as on how you want to FEEL.

That’s why I like to add words to my vision board that describe how I want to feel, such as: ‘joyful,’ ‘abundant,’ ‘powerful,’ ‘fearless,’ ‘loved,’ ‘strong,’ and ‘healthy,’ ‘loving,’ or ‘financially free.’”

Your book should feel energetically elevated.

As you flip through your book, remember the critical meaning of the Law of Attraction:

“Your Inner Being, or Source Energy, always offers a perspective that is to your greatest advantage, and when your perspective matches that, then positive attraction is occurring.”

― Esther Hicks, The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham

Every time you look through the pages, allow yourself to feel resonance with the words and emotions you see. Take a moment to align emotionally. Trust in the “perspective of your Inner Being.”

Special note: Envision your book as a portal to your higher self – who you truly are.

The high vibrational emotions you feel when you source images aren’t found outside of you. They are found within.

Your highest self knows this truth. Take it one step further and explore your highest self through this process. It’s not, “I think I want this, or I think I deserve that.” It’s, “I know who I am, and I graciously allow my vibrational match to enter my life now.”

And remember:

“Rather than being ready to jump into action to get the things you want, we say think them into being; see them, visualize them, and expect them—and they will be.”

― Esther Hicks, The Law of Attraction: The Basics of the Teachings of Abraham

So – good luck!

Let me know how it goes.
