A vision board represents what you want to achieve or who you want to be, typically using photos, magazine cut-outs, and inspirational quotes or sayings.<\/p>\n<p>During one of our recent weekly TOPS chapter meetings for employees, we all created our own vision boards for 2013. Since the focus of our meetings is wellness and weight management, all of our boards included pictures of healthy foods, active living, and motivational phrases.
