A new year is here! It’s time to put your motivation pants on and begin your journey towards an outstanding year. What better way to accomplish your goals than by creating a vision board?
What are Vision Boards?
They are just what they sound like: a display, either in poster form or on a digital platform, filled with visual representations of your goals. These goals are not limited to categories: they can be financial, career, health, or anything else you want to make a part of your life.
Vision boards also have no designated template. They are a pure reflection of your imagination and your wishes. That is, they can look like anything. Just as vision boards can look like anything, they can also be for anyone. They are not restrictive to age or gender.
What are vision boards for?
Now, the concept of a vision board is not to simply paste together cute pictures that hold no meaning to you. The idea is to dive deep into yourself and your desires.
- How do you see yourself accomplishing your wishes?
- What do you picture when you succeed?
- What are your primary aspirations?
The end game for your vision boards is to look at your board and draw the motivation that so often wanes throughout the year.
How do I do it?
There is no right or wrong way to make a vision board. Speaking from experience, one of the best ways to create it is with a group of people, especially with family or friends. So, if you want, schedule a time and place, and gather your group of people.
First, you'll want to gather the items you will need to put together your vision board.
- poster board (whatever size you want)
- scissors
- pencils
- markers
- paint brushes
- crayons
- glue
- tape
Then you will want to gather materials to bring your vision to life. You can use almost anything, including
- magazines
- newspapers
- printouts
- stickers
- drawings
- paintings
- photos
Digital Vision Boards
On the other hand, digital vision boards can be made with many art or whiteboard applications. Canva, for example, has vision board templates as well as many useful design elements. Pinterest is also a popular platform for vision boarding.
Conclusion
After you have completed your vision board, make sure it’s located in a place where you can see it daily. For instance, a digital board can be the background image for a device, and a physical board can be placed on the wall by your desk.
When you are making your vision board, don’t forget to enjoy it. The vision board is only for you, so make it as crazy or as structured as you like. Good luck starting this new year, you can do it!
