Vision boards give you a clear direction for where you want to go in any area of your life. Having a vision board allows you to visualize what goals you want to achieve. Sometimes also known as a dream board, a vision board is a collage of images, graphics, quotes, etc, that helps bring clarity and focus about what you really want to achieve. Traditional vision boards are made by cutting out images, quotes, etc, from magazines and gluing them onto a poster, or in a picture frame. A digital vision board created on our computers or in apps are a super practical solution to try as well. You can keep it front of you and access it anytime you need inspiration. Some of the top apps for this are Canva, MindMovies, Udreamr, PicMonkey, Visuapp, Corkulous Professional and my favorite, Pintrest.

Step 3: Lay out the photographs.

If you are using one of the apps, there are numerous “vision board” templates to choose from. Pick one that works for your goals and captures what you would like to put out there.

Step 4: Add inspiring words.

The top apps have built-in motivational quotes or affirmations. You can also add your own favorite quotes. Look through magazines or even print your favorites to add if you are using a traditional board.

Step 5: Placement of your Vision Board.

So now that you have put the work in and put your vision down “on paper,” keeping these dreams in front of you is of the utmost importance. If you opted for an app, a great idea would be to make it your screen saver. Hang your board where you feel comfortable and where you will be able to appreciate it.

Let’s Get Started

Step 1: List your goals.

I like to start with categories i.e. Family goals, Professional, Relationships, Bucket list, etc… Think about short term goals and long term goals. Where possible, put goal dates or deadlines. Make them realistic and attainable.

Get Inspiration, Give Inspiration

Step 2: Find the most inspiring images that represent your dream.

Try your best to find pictures, words or even print out images that work for you. You want the imagery to represent your goals and inspire you. If you are using an app, look through their library and choose the ones that really speak to you. Consider hosting a Vision Board Party. Don’t over think it. Tell everyone to bring some magazines, poster board, scissors, glue, and make it an evening. Have your children create their dream boards. Have them think about their goals for school, athletics, personal… Above all have fun with it. A vision board gives you the focus and clarity to define your goals and keep them top of mind all year round.
