Describe the Vision Board Itself 

I bought a small acrylic poster frame and filled it with pictures of the prizes I want to win. The poster frame only cost a couple of dollars, and it was fun finding the pictures.

What Kind of Pictures Does Your Vision Board Feature? 

I really want to win a vacation, so I cut out pictures of some of the places I want to visit from the travel brochures that I get from entering sweepstakes. I have pictures of a beach in the Caribbean, of the Grand Canyon, and of Paris, and the pictures make me feel good just looking at them.

Tips and Tricks 

  • If you keep your eyes open, you can find lots of great pictures to use in your junk mail or in old magazines.
  • You can also visit free photo websites and print out pictures.
  • I have a second vision board of prizes I've already won, to remind me of past successes.

Do You Think Your Vision Board is Effective? 

I love my vision board. When I am feeling stressed, the idea of winning a vacation cheers me up. And when I get bored of my sweepstakes entries, my vision board always motivates me.
