Question: A vision board is a tool used to help clarify and maintain focus on specific goals. Your vision board should contain images that represent both short- and long-term goals, such as what you want to accomplish during your academic career at FSCJ and after graduation. It may also contain words or phrases affirming your goals and future.

As an FSCJ student you will find yourself balancing academics, working at a full-time or part-time job, and spending time with family and friends. A vision board serves as a tool for busy students to help you

identify and clarify your goals,
reinforce daily affirmations, and
focus your attention on your goals to overcome distractions and barriers.
The power of vision boards comes from their ability to provide a constant presence in one's life, a reminder, a whisper to bring one back to what is important, a concrete image of what lies in store for us in the future. You will get the most out of the vision board if you create something with intention, focus, and deliberation and look at it often. After all, this is your future you are representing in visual form.

Part 1: Vision Board Directions
Decide on the format for your vision board. Do you want to create a digital version of your vision board as a PowerPoint slide or Word document to be printed out and hung? Do you want to create a vision board by cutting images from magazines-most libraries and doctors' offices have a cart of old ones-using printed images from the Internet, using stickers, or drawing images yourself? Do you want to create a vision item, such as a basketball or a graduation cap, that represents a goal to use as the backdrop to apply your images?
Select the images, words, stickers, and other items for your vision board. You may choose to include images that you are drawn to without really knowing why. The meaning behind the image can unfold over time as you regularly reflect on your vision board. As you consider selecting images and quotes to include on your vision board, consider the questions below, which are intended to spark mental images of your values, aspirations, and goals for your future.
What are my short-term goals?
What are my long-term goals?
What new activities am I interested in trying?
What are my values?
If I were granted one wish, it would ..
If I were not afraid, I would....
What am I passionate about?
What do I dream about for my future?
What do I like about my current job?
What do I like to do for fun?
Make it. Arrange and apply your selected items, so they are visually appealing and neat on your vision board/item.
