How to Create a Mood Board
A fun way to put yourself in a good mood is by creating a mood board, sometimes called a vision board. What's that? "It's a mixture of anything that inspires you, makes you happy, or speaks to you, " says Susie Moore, an author and life coach.
To create your own mood board, you'll need a wood board and pushpins. Poster board or cardboard, with glue or tape, works too. You'll also need old magazines, greeting cards, and photographs. Use your instincts(直觉) to choose what works best. "Anything that makes you feel good, use it, " Moore says. Here, I use Moore's tips to create a mood board and offer tips on how you can make your own.
One place to start is with some of your favorite things. Not everything on your mood board has to serve a purpose or be connected to your life. I used photos of my favorite food, watermelons, and my favorite animal, penguins.
You might use your mood board to set goals for things you'd like to accomplish. Every time I see my mood board, I am actually doing short visualizations about my goals, helping attract the things I want in my life.
Maybe it's your classroom, a playground, or a comfortable corner at home. You can put photos of that place on your mood board, or choose photos that remind you of it. I used the image of West Virginia, where I grew up.
