How to realise your New Year jewellery resolutions

As we step into 2013 and New Year resolutions are in abundance, we have been thinking about our own resolutions. Aside from the usual health-related resolutions, we have been focussing on our jewellery-related goals for the coming year and we are sure that many of you have too.

Often the problem with sticking to resolutions is not visualising your specific goals. We believe vision boards come in handy to help with this. So whether you want to create more of your own jewellery, learn new techniques or start selling your creations at craft markets, read below for how to utilise vision boards.

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a useful tool that can help concentrate, clarify and maintain focus on a specific life goal. In the traditional sense a vision board can be any place where you collect and display images of inspiration that represent what you want to do and thanks to modern technology, you can now have a digital vision board right on your desktop thanks to Pinterest.

How can a vision board help me?

Due to the demands of modern life we all live extremely busy lives that can often result in opportunities and ideas passing by us. Vision boards provide a way for you to avoid life’s distractions and store those fantastic inspirational pictures of jewellery that you want to make. You can store dates and times of those Bead Shop Classes you want to attend to improve and diversify your jewellery-making skills. Vision boards can act as a daily visual reminder of our goals and what we want to achieve as well as being great for motivation.

How Can I Get Started?

A great way to begin your foray into the world of vision boards is to gather some images that are truly inspirational for you. You can start looking through jewellery magazines, books and a good place to make an online vision board is on social media site Pinterest. We have our own Bead Shop Pinterest account that some of you have already been repinning from. Have a look through some of our designs and the images that inspire them!

Here’s to a great goal-inspired 2013!
