What is a Vision Board?

A vision board is a collection of pictures, magazine clippings, words, and quotes that visually affirm your goals in life.

Creating a visual representation of your dreams and putting it somewhere you can see every day makes it easier for you to remember your goals and prioritize your actions accordingly.

Vision boards work because what you focus on expands. They help you activate the Law of Attraction and attract the people, resources, and opportunities you need to achieve your goals and make your dreams come true.

Purpose of a Vision Board

Vision boards—also known as a “goal board” or “dream board”—act as a compass to keep you moving in the direction of your dreams, no matter what is happening in the world around you.

When you make your vision board and display it where you can see it every day, it helps remind you of the bigger picture and what your ultimate purpose in life is.

Images convey a huge amount of complex information to our brains in an instant. This is what makes vision boards so powerful.

By representing our life goals and desired future in such an impactful way, vision boards activate our subconscious mind to make decisions that support our top priorities.

They also make it easier for us to identify the resources in our environment that will help us make real progress toward our dreams.

A few of the benefits associated with using a vision board are:

  • Ensure your goals are the first thing you think of every day
  • Make it easier for you to leverage the Law of Attraction in your life
  • Create a powerful, meditative process that brings clarity on what you really want your life to look and feel like
  • Inspire you and boost your mood
  • Expand your sense of what’s possible
  • Remind you about what’s most important and not to sweat the small stuff
  • Can be shared with others to enlist their support in helping you achieve your goals
  • Are fun to make! It’s a great bonding activity to do with family & friends
Vision boards can give you…
  • Motivation – Seeing images that represent your dreams every day gently pushes you forward to create your best life.
  • Intention – They visually depict the reality you intend to create and the commitments you have made to yourself.
  • Inspiration – A vision board encourages you to believe that anything is possible!
  • Clarity – Vision boards help you remain clear on your goals and priorities even when everything else is uncertain and unclear.
What to Include on Your Vision Board

Creating a vision board is a totally personal and customizable activity, so there’s no one “major rule” or “best way” to do it. Everyone is going to have a unique way of bringing their vision to life.

You’ll want to make sure you have a decent-sized poster board, corkboard, or even a metallic display board to act as the backdrop of your vision.

We will be gathering magazines or newspapers to source photos, words, and phrases from, as well as any other images you may find useful, but feel free to bring your own.

To piece everything together, we will provide scissors, glue sticks, tacks, tape, or magnets – whatever you need to create a collage of words and images that depict your vision for the life you most want to live.
