Are you tired of staring at your blank walls and feeling a lack of direction in life? Well, fear not, because we have the perfect solution for you! It’s time to unleash your inner creativity and manifest your dreams with the help of a vision board. Now, before you roll your eyes and dismiss this as some fluffy new-age nonsense, hear me out. Creating a vision board is like having a personal cheerleader who constantly reminds you of what you’re striving for (minus the pom-poms).
Creating a Vision Board is like making a visual to-do list for your dreams. It’s not about just sitting around and hoping good things happen magically. Instead, it’s a tool to inspire you to take action towards your goals. Imagine it as a friendly reminder hanging on your wall, nudging you to go after what you want. So, it’s not the answer by itself, but more like a motivating buddy, urging you to turn your dreams into reality through your efforts.
Once you have finished this post be sure to also read the benefits and get started journaling!
What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is like an ideas collage of your dreams and goals. It’s a visual tool that helps you clarify, concentrate, and maintain focus on the things you want to achieve in different areas of your life. By combining images, words, and symbols that represent your aspirations, a vision board serves as a constant time reminder of your objectives. It’s a way to manifest your desires and keep them in your daily awareness, motivating you to work towards turning your dreams into reality. Creating a vision board can be a fun and creative way to set intentions and stay inspired on your journey toward your goals.
Who can be inspired by creating a vision board?
Anyone can be inspired through boards. These are great for kids, teens, adults, and seniors. This practice can also be looked at as self-care and starting these practices early could aid a child through adulthood. For adults and parents, this could be a time of quiet since vision board ideas are often performed alone. For older adults like myself, vision boards work to maintain brain and mental clarity.
Where do you create a Vision Board for the first time?
There are various means to capture your inspiration. Journal, digital, online vision boards, social media, posters, and bulletin boards. All that truly matters is that it makes sense to you and you alone. Digital vision boards can be made easily. I have found many premade templates free on Canva. A physical vision board is perfect for work or home office. Try using a poster board or a corkboard with magazine clippings as a visual representation of aspirations.
Dreamboard kits and starter boards can be found on Amazon very inexpensively.
