For me, a vision board isn’t just about goal-setting, but, rather, clarifying my lifestyle, how I want to life my life.
Envision the life. Then, live it.
When talking homesteading, the recurring message is that growing some basil on a windowsill is homesteading because the goal is to grow fresh foods and basil is food. You don’t have to have a 100-acre farm to be a homesteader.
If I want to grow my own food, then I shouldn’t leave that idea as a dream. I should be and can be incorporating it into my lifestyle right now, today.
Buying in Bulk
One of my goals on my Vision Board is to have a pantry filled with preserved foods and items that I have bought in bulk.
Buying in bulk saves money and reduces the negative impact on the planet through less shipping and less packaging.
I can see that pantry of the future (the goal) and it makes me smile. But what can I do today? Now? (the living the vision)
Well, I can buy one thing in bulk. I can start building that pantry by walking the talk.
This past week, after running out of flour, instead of buying just a small bag of flour, I bought a large one, ten times the size of the regular size bag. I bought in bulk.
I was living the vision board.
It may not have been the largest bag of flour that I could have found but it definitely fit within the vision of how I want my lifestyle to be.
