9. Psychology
O “Your brain will work tirelessly to achieve
the statements you give your
subconscious mind. And when those
statements are the affirmations and
images of your goals, you are destined to
achieve them!
-Jack Canfield
O By representing your goals with pictures &
images you will strengthen and stimulate
your emotions because your mind
responds strongly to visual imagery.

14. Visualizing Tips
OVisualize “all the way through”
OWhat are the sights, sounds,
smells…
OFeel it like it is happening! The more
passion, energy, and excitement you
feel when visualizing, the better!
OBelieve you are worthy
15. A little advice…
O Be careful what you wish for!!!
O For instance, you want 2 children. Don’t
put pictures of 4 children on the board.
O Do you want a man that looks like Johnny
Depp, but what would his values be?
O All images, words, photos should be
positive and goal-oriented. For instance,
why you will no longer see ”cancer” on my
board.
16. GLUE WARNING
O Vertical or horizontal design
O Use glue sticks, glue (NO DOTS), or…
O If using decoupage…do not over saturate!!!
O Use a little at a time! Apply with brush
O Create a color background (various types of
paper, images)
O Add text after images; seal with decoupage
as the final step.
17. Steps to create your board

that represent what you want to BE, DO, or
HAVE.

provoke? Add color, words, quotes, goals.
