Finding Motivation to Lose Weight: My 2nd Vision Board

Written on August 31, 2024 - 12:20 pm | by EmmyW

Finding motivation to lose weight isn’t always easy but it can be made easier with your very own vision board.

It’s been about 18 months since I created my very first vision board and I thought it was time to create a new one – so that’s exactly what I did and I had so much fun doing it!

I love expressing my creativity through writing and putting together different craft projects so I really enjoy making things like this. My kids want me to help them make one of their own which I thought was kinda neat.

Anyway, if you haven’t made a vision board before they are an excellent motivator – particularly if you hang them up or place them somewhere where you will see them throughout the day.

In case you haven’t seen it before, here is a link to the first vision board that I created.

If you click on that link it’ll take you to a photo where you can see the one I made and also how to make it. It’s incredibly easy and I will include the instructions in this post as well.

Supplies you need:

Poster Board
Glue
Magazines
Embellishments

Instructions:

Cut out various photos and quotes from magazines (or print them out from the internet).
Arrange them on your poster board how you want them.
Glue em’ down.
Add embellishments.

For my embellishments on my latest creation I just used some foam letters and butterflies, dragonflies and flowers. I still have a bit of empty space that I feel needs to be filled in a bit, but here’s a picture of what the newest addition looks like:

I hung up this new vision board right next to other one I made previously so now I have two in my workout area. I also have a copy of Jamie Eason’s workout there as well. That girl knows how to work it!

Once you’ve finished up your vision board hang it up somewhere that will allow you to see it several times per day. It’s not going to have the same effect if you never look at it. I hung mine down in the basement which is where I workout. It gives me the extra motivation I need to get through a tough workout.

If you have created a vision board or you decide to create one after reading this, I would love to see photos!
