Vision boards operate on the law of attraction: identifying everything we want in our lives and everything we want to become.
But we're not going to make a vision board today.
For fun (plus, to see our goals from a different vantage point), let's make an anti-vision board.
An anti-vision board operates on the law of rejection — which... I just made up. These aren't things we'll attract — they're things we reject. We'll fill it with images and words of what we don't want to become and don't want in our lives.
It's especially worth thinking about the things that might LIKELY happen if we aren't deliberate about rejecting their possibility. Settling for mediocrity, for instance.
(Rabid fans of "the law of attraction" might argue that putting things we don't want on paper is inviting them into our lives anyway. I don't think it works that way. But you do you.)
The anti-vision board doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to be pretty. And we don't have to put it on the wall and stare at it.
But it's worth pulling out every so often, to make sure we haven't lost our way.
