Hey there fellow Manifesters!

As the new year begins, many of us set ambitious goals, envisioning a brighter, more fulfilling future. One powerful tool to help you turn those dreams into reality is a vision board. This simple yet effective method uses visualization to focus your intentions, boost motivation, and keep you aligned with your goals throughout the year.


Why Vision Boards Are Important

  • Clarify Your Goals: Vision boards compel you to articulate your dreams clearly. Instead of vague aspirations like “be healthier,” you’ll identify specific, visual representations of what “healthy” means to you—like a picture of someone running a marathon or enjoying a healthy meal.

  • Strengthen Motivation: Surrounding yourself with images that resonate with your dreams serves as a daily reminder of your “why,” keeping your motivation alive even during challenges.

  • Harness the Power of Visualization: Science suggests that visualizing success activates the same brain regions as physically achieving it. This mental rehearsal boosts confidence and primes you for action.

  • Promote Positivity: A vision board helps you focus on what you want to attract into your life, promoting a positive mindset and reinforcing optimism.


How to Create a Vision Board

  1. Gather Supplies: Start with a sturdy base like a cork-board or poster board, scissors, glue, and pins. Collect old magazines, print out images, or use inspirational quotes. If you like me, you could use Photoshop, Illustrator, Canvas if that floats your boat!

  2. Reflect on Your Goals: Take a moment to list your aspirations for the year ahead. Consider areas such as health, career, relationships, personal growth, and leisure. Ask yourself: What do I want to feel, achieve, and experience?

  3. Select Visual Elements: Find images, words, and phrases that resonate with your goals. For example, if travel is a priority, choose pictures of dream destinations. If personal development is a focus, include empowering quotes or affirmations.

  4. Arrange Thoughtfully: Arrange your items on the board with intention. Group similar goals together or create sections for each life area. The goal is to make the board visually pleasing and meaningful.

  5. Add Personal Touches: Include personal photos, handwritten notes, or mementos to make your board uniquely yours. The more personal it feels, the stronger your emotional connection.


Tips for Success

  • Place It Where You’ll See It Daily: Choose a spot where your vision board will catch your eye—whether it’s your bedroom, home office, or a space you frequent.

  • Regularly Revisit and Update: Goals can evolve throughout the year. Adjust your board as needed to ensure it stays relevant.

  • Take Action: A vision board is a catalyst, not a shortcut. Use it as a springboard to take small, consistent actions toward your goals.

  • It’s also a great project to do with your kids. It will get them in the habit of forward thinking, practicing goal setting and give them something to look forward to.


Creating a vision board is more than a craft project; it’s a powerful exercise in intention setting and self-discovery. By dedicating time to visualize your dreams, you set the stage for a purposeful and productive year. So grab your supplies, let your imagination run wild, and craft a vision board that reflects the best version of your future. This year, let your dreams take center stage—and watch as they start to materialize.
