In these content segments, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes discusses the process of creating a rich and meaningful life vision board using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. She emphasizes the importance of defining one's values as they guide actions and suggests that self-relationship is crucial for a fulfilling life. Dr. Snipes encourages considering important people in one's life, tangible things like clothes and food, and experiences such as hobbies and career achievements.
To create a vision board, Dr. Snipes advises making a list of important people, things, and experiences and finding pictures to represent them. It is important to attach descriptions that go beyond just naming the person or thing and instead describe the relationship or significance it holds. Additionally, actions that can be taken to nurture and improve relationships should be identified.
Dr. Snipes also suggests creating another sheet of paper to identify barriers to achieving desired outcomes and ways to address them. The end result is a visual representation of what is important in one's life, serving as a reminder and aiding decision-making.
Dr. Snipes shares her own vision board as an example, which includes pictures of her family, symbols representing her values, and spirituality. She mentions that reflecting on how one has spent their energy can provide perspective on whether they have moved closer to or further away from their desired life.
Overall, Dr. Snipes encourages visually inclined individuals to try this technique and share their experiences.
