Vision Board Workshop: Designing Your Future

Join us for an intentional session dedicated to visualizing your goals and creating a roadmap for the year ahead. Moving beyond just “pretty pictures,” we will focus on how we want to feel and who we want to become. By the end of this meeting, you will have the foundation of a vision board that aligns with your true values and serves as a daily source of inspiration.

Pre-Meeting Instructions (To-Do List)
To get the most out of our session, please complete these steps before you join:

1. Reflect & Brainstorm
   Think about the different areas of your life (Career, Health, Relationships, Personal Growth, etc.). Ask yourself:

• What did I learn from last year?
• What do I want to feel more of this year?
• What are my top 3-5 non-negotiable goals?

2. Choose Your Medium
   Decide if you want to create a Physical or Digital board.

• If Physical: Gather a poster board, scissors, glue, and a stack of magazines.
• If Digital: Ensure you have access to a tool like Canva or Pinterest.

3. Collect Your Imagery
   Start gathering visuals that resonate with your goals. Don’t just look for "things" (like a car); look for images that represent the feeling of achieving your goal.

• Action: Save 15–20 images to a folder on your computer or pin them to a private Pinterest board.
• Quotes: Find 2–3 powerful affirmations or quotes that speak to your current journey.

4. Create Your Space
   Since this is a creative session, try to join from a quiet space where you have room to spread out your materials (if physical) or focus on your screen without distractions.

Meeting Guidelines:

1. Membership: Membership is free and open to all. The only requirement for membership is the desire to recover from social anxiety and the willingness to work on it. Age, gender, location, background etc. are no bar. However, please note the languages spoken are Hindi and English. The physical meetings are currently only held in Delhi, but weekly online meetings can be attended irrespective of location.
2. Active engagement: We encourage regular attendance in meetings and active engagement with the group.
3. Confidentiality: Confidentiality and anonymity are to be maintained. What is said here, stays here - don’t gossip about others in the group. Please use only your first name in the group. Feel free to be discrete with respect to any specific identifying details such as address, school or colleges attended, full name, social media handles etc.
4. Spamming: Please don't engage in spam/ discussions/ content unrelated to social anxiety and mental health. This goes especially for potentially divisive topics like politics and religion. Please don't promote any specific religion - General discussions on the importance of spirituality or religious practices for mental health are permitted. Let us not divert our attention from the purpose of this group.
5. Promotions: Please don't promote any specific medical person, medicine, or therapy.
6. Sharing facts: If sharing factual scientific information (instead of those based on experience), please try to cite the source.
7. Respect: Respect one another’s opinions and accept differences. There is no room for sexism, abusive language, harassment, criticism, judgement, argument or comparison. Please be careful when broaching certain topics that might make the other person uncomfortable (eg. anything of a sexual nature). Let us create a supportive, safe and loving environment.
8. Giving advice: Advice is generally not offered in the group, unless solicited. The purpose of the group remains to focus on ourselves and our own recovery. Please talk about your experiences and what you think, rather than telling anyone else what they should do. This gives everyone space to follow their own personal path of recovery without feeling any pressure or judgement from anyone else.
9. Monopolising time: Do not monopolise the meetings. Try to limit your sharing to 5 minutes. If you want advice or if you want to discuss something in greater detail with any member, please reach out to them after the meeting. Avoid personal or side conversations during meetings.
10. Interruptions: Listen without interrupting.
