I’m sure we’ve all dreamed of achieving big things in life. And if not, that’s totally okay. Big or small dreams, each one of those are valid and accepted. A fulfilling career, raising a family, or even a dream vacation. All these and more, you can create with a vision board. Vision boards are powerful tools that can help a person manifest their desires and bring dreams to life.
Creating a vision board is more than just a fun craft project; it’s a strategic approach to goal setting and personal development, as well as attracting what you really want for your life. By visually representing your goals through these boards, you’re activating your subconscious mind to look on the bright side and prime yourself for success. As you consistently look upon your vision board, you’ll be surprised by how you start to attract opportunities, experiences, and people that will help achieve your dreams.
Step 1: Set Your Intentions
Before diving into the creative process, it’s important that you take some time to reflect on your personal goals and dreams. Do you want to have a family or are planning to fly solo for the rest of your life? Do you see yourself climbing the corporate ladder or are you aspiring to become the best professional tongits player? By clarifying your intentions, you can create a vision board that perfectly aligns with your life’s desires.
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
A vision board won’t come to life without the supplies! To create a vision board, make sure you have the following:
- A large board or canvas
- Magazines, newspapers, online images, cutouts
- Scissors
- Glue or tape
- Markers, pens, glitters, crayons, colored pencils
Step 3: Choose Your Medium
Surprise, surprise: you can actually create a vision board on varying mediums. Meaning, if you’re a digital person, you can actually skip step 2 and head straight to step 3, which is choosing a digital collage, perhaps, as your medium. Consider your personal preferences and the tools you currently have available so you can decide on the best medium for you.
Step 4: Collect Inspiring Images
Now’s the time to gather all the Pinterest images you’ve been saving all these years! Look for pictures that speak to you and evoke positive feelings, inspiring you to take action on a dream. You can find these in magazines, newspapers, or online sources like Pinterest, Unsplash, Pexels, and more.
Step 5: Create A Layout
Once you’ve collected and arranged your images, decide on a layout. You can use a plethora of layouts, such as a grid, a collage, or even an organized timeline.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different things and have fun with the design! After all, this is your vision board.
Step 6: Add Personal Touches
To make your vision board even more personal and powerful, add personal touches that speak to you such as quotes, affirmations, or even handwritten notes from yourself or other people. Speak these positive emotions to yourself and visualize them on your board; include crystals, feathers, colors, or dried flowers to enhance the energy of your board.
Step 7: Regularly Update Your Board
As your life continues to evolve and reshape every step of the way, so should your vision board. Make sure you’re regularly updating your board with new images and affirmations to reflect your current self, goals, and aspirations because they will for sure change as weeks and months go by.
Step 8: Meditate On Your Board
Spend a few minutes each day meditating on your vision board. Close your eyes and visualize yourself living the dream life, in accordance with the board. This will help you connect with your deepest desires and truly manifest things in your life.
Step 9: Take Inspired Action
While a vision board is a powerful tool, and not to mention looks cute when decorated, it’s still important that you do the action to bring your dreams to reality.
Don’t let a simple arts and crafts session be the one to dictate your life; be intentional, set specific goals, create a plan, and take consistent steps towards your goal for desired outcomes.
Step 10: Share Your Vision Board With Others
Sharing your vision board with supportive loved ones can ultimately help you stay accountable and motivated to keep pushing. What’s more, you can also join online communities or vision board groups to connect you with like-minded people who share the same passion, fire, and drive towards achieving your dreams.

Remember, a vision board is more than just a collage of your pictures and dreams. It can only be a powerful tool if you act upon it and work hard to turn your dreams into reality. So, what are you waiting for? Start creating the life of your dreams today!
