The first thing I can think of is that some people learn better visually, and others are more verbal people, so that could be a crucial difference. Others? |
Yes, they are different, even though they do the same thing (they are both might to help program your subconscious mind to work on getting you what you want.)
Vision boards - visual representation of your desires, the things you want. You look at it get some kind of emotional response. Vision boards are a visual aid a tool to help you visualize what you want.
Affirmations - a positive statement you repeat constantly out loud or silently affirming a desire or something you want.
The difference isn't in the fact that one is visual and the other is verbal, it is that affirmations help you keep your mind focused on what you want and not on the negative things that people tend to focus on. The vision board only enhances the affirmations with I believe is a very, very powerful tool.
The range of things you can do with affirmations far out weigh the vision board - Affirmations would be number one or two on the list of the most important self help tools where in my opinion a vision board would be the sprinkling on the icing, it takes the whole cake up a notch.
Keep doing both, like Jm4362 said, it is the emotion behind whichever you use that makes it effective.
PS
In the Dynamic Laws of Prosperity, a powerful book by Catherine Ponder, she has a section on vision boards and she suggests putting affirmations on every picture on your vision board.
Good job and good luck...
