And lastly, making a vision board is not enough to manifest your dreams. You need to equip yourself with manifestation techniques that ensure you get to achieve your goals within the year.
Here are some tips for making your vision board 2024 work:
-
USE THE RIGHT WORDS
In our article on Vision Board Words 2024, we talk about the secret power of words when it comes to manifesting your desires. And one of the things we mention is using the right words when making your goals, resolutions, and intentions.
When making your goals, avoid negative words like “not,” “don’t,” “never,” and others, because they carry the energy of negativity. Instead, use affirmative words like “I am,” “sure,” “can,” “clearly,” “certain,” and other words that affirm your beliefs of your dreams.
By using positive words and voiding any word that has negative energy, you can attract the very same positivity in your life.
-
PRACTICE MANIFESTATION TECHNIQUES
Manifestation techniques like repeating affirmations, visualization, and positive thinking, are some of the ways you can speak existence to your dreams.
-
CREATE CUES
A simple way of achieving your New Year’s resolutions is creating cues around your environment that encourage you to act on your resolutions.
One example could be having a healthier diet. Instead of having all kinds of food in your fridge, get rid of any item that’s not good for you, such as caffeinated drinks, processed food, and sweets, and replace them with fruits, vegetables, and other healthier options.
By creating an environment that’s conducive to your resolutions, you are making it easier to form habits that align with your goals.
We’ve also made a great article on goal-setting, as well as a blog on 2024 Goal Boards, which offers great tips on how to make your dreams manifest in life.
Creating a vision board for 2024 is a great way to design the life you want to have. While resolutions are great, since people who make them are 10 times more likely to achieve their goals, they can be hard to achieve. Studies show that the majority of individuals who make these resolutions give up within 2 months, and you don’t want to end up letting your goals go without a good try.
That is why making dream boards is not enough and we’ve written a series of articles that can help you ensure that you have the power to make them come true.
With our tips, recommendations, and advice based on science, ancient beliefs, and traditions, we believe your vision boards 2024 will be a success.
