My life has gone from amazing to toilet bowl in the last two years. I was struggling. Writing out my goals and creating a vision board has me bouncing out of bed in the morning again for the first time in who knows how long, and with a huge smile on my face. Thank you everyone for all the inspiration. Right now my top three Goals: 1 Journal everyday for my daughter until 4/18/12 (her1stbday) 2 Choose a book over TV 4/7 nights to help fall asleep 3 run a 5’45″mile on 11/11/11

This is a great post. I have been trying to do some goal setting lately, but haven’t quite been able to get that “spark” you mention. I will definitely sit down this weekend to try again, using the ideas you posted.
I just stumbled across this website today, and love your well rounded approach to well-being and fitness.

Wonderful to hear Aleksandra! So glad you are putting together an amazing vision board for the new year. We’d love to see it, so be sure to send us a twitpic once it’s done.

With 2011 just around the corner, I was revisiting some of your goal-setting posts when I stumbled upon this post. I meant to put a vision board together for 2010 but I never got around to it and you’ve inspired me to do so.

In as quickly as 30 minutes I wrote down all the words I see associated with my life in 1, 5, and 10 years from now and it was really eye-opening. With these words and my goals in mind I’m going to create a kick-ass vision board while I’m on vacation.

Glad I ran into this post again.

Vision boards are a great tool that you can use to achieve success. They are also really fun to create. I highly recommend everyone has their own vision board.

I wish I could add pictures to my comments! You could all see the stick figure drawings I’ve made of the children I would like to raise. My “Watts Tots” are very precious to me. Yes. I am officially a dork.

Really inspiring piece! I love goal-setting, but had never thought about adding a vision board! Now I’m ready to take scissors to my O magazine.

I also love vision boards. This post has inspired me to take another and fresh stab at mine – and to work at ensuring that my goals are baked right in there.

My current vision board is actually text only – and that works for me too write now. I write down all of the “words” that I see associated with my life 1, 5 and 10 years down the road. Nothing is too small or insignificant to write down. It’s a fun exercise to see where you life is heading, and ensure that your goals really truly lead you to the life you want!

LOVE this! The best part about a vision board is it’s the first thing I see before bed, and the first thing I see when I wake up. It also allows people to tap into creativity and ideas they have probably never thought of! Greatness Des
