All you need is a piece of white paperboard, your favorite colored markers, and magazines. Cut out visuals from the magazines that you feel represent your goals and paste them on your board. You can also write out inspirational statements or resolutions in a decorative manner so you may hang your poster in a location you come across often. By seeing your board frequently, you’ll become more committed toward your goals and you’ll become more persistent in making them come true. Some time later you may post another board depicting how you feel about yourself after succeeding.
