Vision Boards: Bring Your Dreams to Life

If you think vision boards are silly, then the joke’s on you. They really work! A vision board creates a space that shows what you want to bring to live. What you focus on expands.

How to Make a Vision Board that Works

What you’ll need:

• Any kind of board, poster board, cardboard, anything to place items on

• Scissors, tape, pins, and/or a glue-stick to put your board together.

• If you want, fun markers, stickers, or anything else you can think of to deck out your board.

• Time. Allow it to be stress-free to put your board together. If you want to make it an event, invite your friends over and make a night out of it. Turn on some relaxing music. Light a candle and clear your space.

• Magazines that you can cut images and quotes from. Photos, images of places you want to go, reminders of events, places, or people, postcards from friends and just about anything that will inspire you.

Some tips:

When it comes to actually placing your stuff on the board, make space or make everything overlap. As for choosing what makes the final cut, lay everything out before you start gluing and pinning so you can get an idea of where you want everything.

When you create a vision board and place it in a space where you see it often, you essentially end up doing short visualization exercises throughout the day.

A vision board is simply one more tool in your toolbox to improve your mindset and improve your self-awareness.
