I believe that Pintrest can be used to be a really positive part of your life when it is used well. Here we will explore how to use Pintrest to be motivational and inspirational and make a real difference in your life.
Pinterest is effectively a modern way of creating a dream board with the advantage of having so much material at your fingertips whenever you have access to your computer or device.
Pintrest gives you a way of crystallising your hopes, dreams and goals which can get lost when you are on the treadmill of daily life. You are effectively pinning down what you would like your life and your future to look like.
We have to be intentional about our lives, otherwise we find that time just passes by and we remain in the same place, often feeling bored, unfulfilled and frustrated. Creating boards full of inspiration is a great way of becoming intentional and living a more fulfilled life. Simply identifying what you are aiming for in your life and developing some vision for the future is a big step towards achieving it.
Since Pintrest revolves around images, whilst pinning you are engaging the emotional and creative side of the brain, rather than the logical side which is usually dominant in our daily lives. Images are the language of the subconscious so let yourself notice what you are drawn to and what the images reflect about you. Looking at inspiring and positive images can have a hugely positive effect on your mood and your physiology. You may find you feel uplifted and calm after spending some time pinning.

Make sure you revisit the boards. All this wonderful content will continue to inspire you as long as you remember to keep your boards live in your mind by looking at them regularly.

If some things feel too personal to be shared, create a private board. Sometimes it’s nice to keep your dreams to yourself.
