Why Everyone Should Create a Vision Board
Let’s be real—life is hectic. Between work, family, and that eternal to-do list, it’s easy to feel like you’re just going through the motions. That’s where the magic of a vision board comes in. If you’ve been skeptical about gluing magazine clippings to a poster board like it’s middle school art class—stay with me. Vision boards are more than a fun craft project; they’re a powerful tool to manifest your goals and set your life on a purposeful path.
The Power of Visualization
You’ve heard the phrase “see it to believe it,” right? Visualization is a legitimate psychological hack. When you create a visual representation of your goals, your brain starts working overtime to connect the dots. It’s science—your Reticular Activating System (RAS) tunes in to opportunities that align with your vision, making what once seemed impossible suddenly within reach.
Think about it, want a healthier lifestyle? Seeing images of vibrant meals, active workouts, or that dream pair of jeans reminds you of what you’re working toward. Dreaming of career growth? Pictures of a sleek home office or the dream job title on a nameplate keep your focus locked.
A vision board keeps your goals front and center. It's like giving your dreams a VIP pass to your brain.
How to Create a Vision Board
Creating a vision board isn’t rocket science, but there’s an art to doing it with intention. Here’s how:
Set the Mood: Light a candle, put on your favorite playlist, or grab a hot drink. Make this an experience you’ll enjoy.
Reflect: What do you want? Not what everyone else wants for you—what YOU truly desire. Think big but meaningful. Break it down into areas like career, relationships, health, and personal growth. You can use my free vision board planner download to help you out.
Gather Supplies: Grab a poster board or corkboard, magazines, scissors, glue, pins, markers, and even some digital printouts if you're feeling fancy.
Find Your Vision: Search for images, quotes, and words that resonate with your goals. No magazines? Pinterest and Canva are your new BFFs.
Assemble with Intention: Don’t just slap things on the board. Curate it. Let it reflect the life you’re building.
Place It Where You’ll See It Daily: A vision board tucked in your closet doesn’t do much good. Display it somewhere it’ll remind you of what you’re working toward—whether that’s in your office, bedroom, or planner setup.
