Why I Stopped Creating Vision Boards

Vision Board

Yes, I did have a blog post all about creating vision boards. That was not your imagination, I have replaced that blog with this one.

I still believe in manifestation, energy and law of attraction that has not changed.

Lately, I have had a new feeling towards my vision boards and I am going to see how life is not looking at them daily. This inspired feeling has me taking down my vision boards from my phone and computer back grounds and erasing them completely. This desire came to came to me one day as I was reflecting on what it is that I am wanting to create and manifest in my current reality. Now that I am in my pivot year I have been blessed with an abundance of alone time to reflect on my desires and work towards what I want my life to look like.

As I reflected on my yearly goals, I discovered that for years I have placed similar images of the same goals my vision boards; a man, a home, travel and money goals. I then reflected on if I had actually manifested what was on my boards. The thing is I did manifest most of the things on my boards. I had manifested some sort of a relationship with men, $$$ coming in from a job, a place for me to live and I usually went on some sort of trip that year. The thing was I was looking at my images on my boards and they were not matching my current reality. This made me feel bad instead of inspired, the opposite of the intention of a board. I would think I wasn't in a long term relationship, I didn't own a home I designed, I wasn't making millions from my own personal business. These were the intentions I had when I created my board, but there seemed to be a disconnect between my intention and what played out. So instead of the vision board pumping me up and getting my excited it made me feel low.

They say in manifestation, you have to believe it is on the way like your Amazon package. So I declared what I desire for this year, focused on making myself feel good and took down my boards. Trusting that what is meant for me will find me.

During this year, I am also trying to follow my Human Design chart more which says I am a non specific manifestor. Which maybe why when I try to be specific about my manifestations it has never really worked for me. A non-specific manifestor means that I shouldn't be specific about what it is that I am calling in like details of a certain house or physical descriptors of my ideal man. It is more about the feeling I want to feel when having the things I desire. So I was putting my emphasis on the wrong place. Less about the pictures and more about how I will feel having my desire.

Now that I look back and see that all the years I was still manifesting a version of what was on my vision boards. It made me think about one of my favourite movies "Under the Tuscan Sun" and the scene when she is talking to her realtor and he was reflecting back to her that she manifested everything she was asking for. It just looked different than how her mind had envisioned it to look.

This scene always puts a smile on my face and reminds me, that everything is always working out for you. To stay open to the many ways things will manifest in your reality. Things will come to you, but it may not look like the way you thought it would. I would say by the end of that movie she was feeling pretty high vibe about her life. A beautiful reminder that at the end of the day that is really what matters isn't it!

By the way, this post isn't to tell you if you that what you are doing is right or wrong or condemn vision boards in anyway. I am just sharing my thoughts about what I am currently experiencing and speaking to that. Also, who knows I could go back to making vision boards in the future if I feel inspired to do so again.
