Vision Board for Permies

Lets bring our permaculture dreams closer to reality!

Lately I've been reflecting on what I truly want in life, and how I want it to look in the next few years.  Part of the process that can make this enjoyable is to make a Vision Board, and naturally I want to include as much Permaculture imagery and inspirations as possible in mine.

A Vision Board can help clarify goals and keep them alive in our daily lives.

HOW TO CREATE A PERMIES VISION BOARD

1. Pick Your Themes
What areas of your life light you up? Some permaculture related themes might include:

WOFATI, Earth Sheltered, Cob, Straw-bale, Roundwood, or other Natural Building designs

Rockets Mass/Masonry Heaters, Stoves, Ovens, Saunas, or other heating elements

Ponds, Streams, Natural Swimming Pools, Springs, Wells, or other water elements

Hugelkultur beds, raised beds, syntropic rows, polyculture guilds, or privacy berms.

Zero waste and waste to resource ideas

Community connections, which can include people, animals, and other creatures that form ecosystem relationships.

Personal visions of abundance, health, and well being

2. Collect Images and Ideas
Find pictures, quotes, or symbols that capture your dreams.  (Ive been using Pinterest.com, but my hope is that with this post we can help each other find and create imagery that might not be found there). Things that you might consider thinking about while searching can include:

Abundant beyond organic food forests.

Your dream home, workshop space, or community.

Inspirational quotes and sayings that resonate deeply with you.

Maps and drawings of your dream designs

3. Create Goals and 'Mini Quests"
A big dream might seem too overwhelming, but breaking a monumental task down into bite size pieces can make the grand vision more achievable. It is also helpful to separate goals/quests between"Work" and "Life".  

Set a few quarterly goals/quests, but no more than 4

Look at and review these goals/quests a minimum of every week

Consider creating "Focus Logs", which are very powerful in actually helping to get stuff done.  

Here is a great youtube video that can help with this, which comes from a content creator that helped inspire me to make this post:



4. Share and Stay Inspired
Place your vision board somewhere visible where you will see it often.  Even better, share it here in this thread!  Or, if you aren't comfortable sharing the whole thing, as sometimes some elements can be more private...

... please share images, quotes, or other inspirations here!.
