Vision Board Essentials activated!

Mood board, vision board, dream poster, collage, montage, call it what you want! It’s a space for pictures, words and colours that express your future hopes, goals, ambitions and aspirations.

And it’s fun to make. 

The origins of creative visualisation hark back to Ancient Egypt (of course), with hieroglyphics and early cave paintings. Biblical reference? “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets”. Tablets! Made of stone! 

Indeed, the psychological aspect of this is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in the brain, which filters information and focuses on what is deemed important, such as images on a board. Well, fancy that! 

Here are some suggestions to get you started on your vision board journey:

Sellotape Double Sided Tape Roll | $8.95

Collage is the way to your future. Use the aforementioned scissors to cut, and use this double-sided tape to paste!

Fun Fact: An Engineer named Richard Drew invented masking tape (1925) and later contributed to transparent tape (1930) to solve a specific problem: automotive painters struggling with messy lines on two-tone cars. His invention provided a clean, easily removable tape that allowed for precise, two-toned paint jobs without damaging the underlying paint.

Gluey!
