Why not ....... create a vision board

Hello and welcome to Why not - a series of weekly posts on a Wednesday to encourage us all to 'do' something.

Doing stuff, playing, having fun, moving your body, exploring the five senses - it's all so vital to the creative process. And doing something just for fun (like so many things) can pass us by while we get caught up in the business of living.

So here is the first Why not - let's create a vision board.

It's easy

• Grab a stack of magazines, a glue stick and a big piece of drawing paper (or anything you've got)
• Set a time limit - let's say 30 minutes
• Look through the mags and pull (or cut depending on your level of OCD) out anything (images/words) that resonate with you. Stuff you look at and feel something

• Place the clippings on the paper in a way that feels 'right' for you
• Paste it down
• Display your finished vision board in a spot where you can see it often

That's it for today. This is not an intellectual activity. So I am not telling you the 'why' now. Just do it and see what unfolds for you. Next week I will follow up and share some reflective processes you can use for this vision board and look at some quite specific uses as well.
