Ask, Believe, Receive – Make your vision board work for you!

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife February 15, 2018April 30, 2018
February 15, 2018April 30, 2018

This post is sponsored by HP

Like I’ve mentioned previously when the kids go back to school is my true ‘new year’. One goal I had was to set up a vision board for 2018.  I used to have one in my old home which included images of the high school I wanted the kids to go to, visions to upgrade my kitchen and a trip to Disneyland… all goals I am super proud to say have all been achieved, except for the kitchen upgrade – instead we moved house, and I love my beautifully light kitchen compared to my old dark one.  I’m long overdue to update my vision board, so I made it a priority to put on together.  I find vision boards motivational to keep me on track as I can easily get distracted and lose focus of my main goals. Already I feel motivated, inspired and ready for the future success in 2018.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

The purpose of a vision board is to manifest and visualise everything you want in your life, everything you want to be, want to do and dream of. To display images that represent these things and visualise yourself reaching these goals, and achieving them. Whether you believe the philosophy of The law of Attraction or not, what we visualise and set our minds to, often become our reality. ‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Training your mind to think positively and attract those items on your vision board and bring them to life.

Follow these steps below to create your own vision board. My biggest tip is to dream big and put everything you want on there. Like I say in one of the quotes I have on my vision board ‘I am worthy of my Dreams’….. YES, YOU ARE!!!

1. DETERMINE HOW YOU WANT TO DISPLAY YOUR VISION BOARD

Typically, a vision board is a cardboard or cork board full of collaged magazine clippings, images and quotes that inspire you. I like clean lines and tidiness so I have found a frame with several photo spaces to make one that is visually pleasing…. for me.  But you may like the collage look, choose whichever style is right for you!  My frame is from Harvey Norman, but you can also pick one up similar from Kmart.

2. FIND IMAGES TO PUT ON YOUR VISION BOARD

Anything that motivates, inspires and excites you. Find images on the internet or through your phone which is often where I save things that I may come across for later reference.  Images can be found by googling, searching Pinterest, Instagram or in magazines.

Things you may like to have on your vision board:

  • A photo of your loved ones – who you want to be around and spend your time with.
  • Relationship – Perhaps you want to rekindle your relationship, take it to a new level, plan a family or things to teach your young ones.
  • Health – Is there something you want to do to improve your health like an exercise regime or a healthy way of living?
  • Home – Find an image of your ideal house. Be specific about it, if you want a house on the water or with a view of the mountains, find an image of exactly that.
  • Business adventures and career – print a photo of your logo/brand.
  • Education – Is there something you want to study or pursue?
  • Travel – Destinations you would like to visit, whether it’s a local beach, cafe or an overseas holiday.
  • Finance and wealth – Do you want to be financially comfortable or earn a certain amount?
  • Personal growth – Affirmations about good health, wealth and positivity, something you want to do better at, a new skill to learn or habit you want to break.

Continue reading to see how you can download my collection of affirmations and goals.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

3. GATHER IMAGES TOGETHER

Print your images on a high-quality printer in bright colours to create a vibrant, welcoming vision board that will draw your attention to it.  I’m using the HP Smart Tank 455 Printer which is super easy to set up, includes Wi-Fi Direct Wireless networking and comes with up to two years of ink.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

Once you bring the printer home you can start using it straight away as it comes with 2 years worth of ink.  What I like is that I can see when I’m running low on ink, order ahead of time and easily refill the ink tank. It’s a fuss-free, mess-free process to refill the ink-tank, my son refilled it for me.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

I printed a couple of photos from my phone to use in my vision board, which was super easy.  Download the HP Smart App for Android or Apple which then allows you to print and scan images from your phone direct to the printer. It’s all wireless so the kids can now print their homework from their laptop in their bedroom to the printer downstairs over the wifi network. Hasn’t technology improved so much! Through the app you can also keep your eye on ink levels and order more ink directly from the app.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

I’m impressed with the colours and tones of all my images.  I’ve printed my photos on standard A4 paper and they look fabulous, I guess this is why HP is known as the world’s #1 printer brand!  I do quite a bit of printing (you know me I love a good checklist and motivational print) and one of the must have’s when I look for printers is borderless printing, which I feel is the icing on the cake for quality printing at home.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

Visit the HP website to view more details and where you can purchase the HP Smartank 455 Wireless Printer.

4. PLACE IMAGES IN FRAME

Think about the placement.  I wanted a few key affirmations and photos to be my big focal points and I included a photo of myself on my board, one where I am looking happy and healthy as I want to continue to radiate this feeling throughout the year.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

5. DISPLAY YOUR VISION BOARD

Display your vision board in a place where you will be looking at it often.  Vision boards can be quite personal so rather than displaying it in the kitchen for all to see, you may like to have it in your bedroom, office or….. you’ll never guess where I am putting mine, I’m actually hanging it on a wall in my loo.  I have a big blank wall that I look at several times a day and I have always thought it would be the perfect place for a vision board!

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

This Teach My Kids print would have to be my favourite print on the whole board.  I want to teach my kids so much in life, but as they are getting to an age of independence I want to ultimately teach them to respect themselves, saying no is OK and they can trust me and tell me anything as I love them no matter what.

‘Ask, Believe, Receive’. Use a vision board to train your mind to think positively and attract those goals on your vision board and bring them to life.

Another image you may see there in the middle of my board is some ladies having coffee and I place an Aussie symbol on it.  I have always had a vision to go around Australia to have a coffee with my community and chat all things organised. I would truly love to have this goal come to life.  Would you like to come along and have a cuppa with me, at some stage through the year?!

It has taken me nearly a year but I have finally made my vision board! The gathering of what I wanted just took so l o n g!
The end result was worth the wait though. I have put it in my laundry as that is where I seem to spent such a lot of my time. It is a multipurpose space.

That’s wonderful Jill. I am so pleased to hear that you have completed your vision board! Well done

Teresa A Drake February 19, 2018 - 12:04 PM

Love your vision board, much more practical and easily seen. I have made one, but it is more like a vision sculpture than board. Thank you for a wonderful idea of doing it in a multiple frame that can be placed where it can be seen. If you ever happen to be in Cuenca, Ecuador, would love to have you stay in my home and I could show you around my new home country. Wishing you all the best – Terri at the Drake’s Nest

✨ Task: Clean + Tidy The Shower
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know me, I like to organise all types of areas! Junk drawer, utensil drawer, dirty washing- I even organise the shower.  Especially with 3 teenage kids there can end up being quite a bit of product lingering in the shower. Organising makes the shower easier to clean too! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My kids like to keep all their body washes and face scrubs in the shower and just add to it, they also each like a different type of shampoo. So there are a lot of bottles in their shower. I like to keep all products up off the floor to make cleaning as easy as possible. I had an over shower holder, but it would rattle and then went rusty. So when I saw the iHook Shower Caddy I was eager to try it out!

✨ Task: Tidy Pantry
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have just recently given my pantry a makeover. I like to keep all items in my pantry in containers, I throw out the bulky packaging and this utilises the space in my pantry really well. I’ve removed all the Tupperware from my pantry and replaced with OXO, which you can purchase in my shop @organisedhq (currently up to 40% off). I have put the old containers I was using away for my twins as I am sure they are going to be moving out sometime in the next few years.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I do have a lot of containers- I like to cook, bake and create and share recipes with The Organised Housewife community. I like to always have everything readily available. I am absolutely loving my new pantry! So easy to see what food levels I have and what needs replenishing in the next grocery shop. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've filled my pantry with a lot of different sized containers to suit a variety of food. There are specific containers that fit particular foods perfectly! I've created a cheat sheet to help you know what container is best for which foods! Free download in the link in my bio 😊

✨ Task: Clean Three Windows
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I must admit that cleaning windows is one of the cleaning tasks that I regularly neglected in my home when the kids were younger. It was a hopeless cause to want to have sparkling clean windows when there were curious little fingers around. Purely for my own sanity, I stopped worrying about having perfectly clean windows inside, but when they were clean they looked so good! I think with kids it’s OK to lower your expectations of having a spotless home. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My fave window cleaning tools are from @organisedhq ✨
