How To Create A Vision Board

Since I work at home, my day combines family and work responsibilities. I may be folding laundry while on a conference call with a client. I might answer emails on my iPad while my son uses my business computer for homework.  

Unlike days when I worked in an office, my responsibilities sort of blur together some days. It’s easy to get off focus and find myself playing Candy Crush for a few too many minutes or working after dinner when I should be relaxing with my family.

To help me keep my mind on my goals and my attitude positive, I decided to create a vision board.  A vision board is a visual reminder of your personal goals and the positive thoughts you want to focus on.  Learning how to create a vision board is not difficult at all.

This vision board works to help me stay focused on my goals.

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a board on which you display images that represent your goals and dreams. Creating a vision board can help you achieve your goals by providing you with a daily reminder of what you want to achieve.

You can create a vision board by cutting out pictures from magazines or printing pictures from the internet. Once you have collected some pictures, glue them onto a piece of card or paper and display them where you will see them daily.

Some people like to create vision boards specific to one area of their life, such as their career or health. Others prefer to create a general board that includes all aspects of their life. Either way, choosing images that inspire and motivate you is important.

What to put on my vision board

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some ideas. You can use images or hand write inspirational quotes.

• Career: images of your dream job, successful people in your field, your ideal office
• Health: pictures of healthy foods, people exercising, quotes about wellness
• Relationships: photos of happy couples, inspiring love stories, friendship quotes
• Personal growth: images of people achieving their goals, quotes about self-improvement, your ideal life

Creating a vision board is a fun and easy way to visualize your goals. It’s also a powerful tool that can help you achieve them. So get started today and see what amazing things you can achieve!

What are the benefits of creating a vision board?

There are many benefits to creating a vision board. First, it can help you clarify your goals. When you take the time to sit down and choose images that represent your dreams, you’re forced to think about what you want to achieve. This can help you narrow your goals and determine what’s most important to you.

Second, a vision board can remind you daily of your goals. Seeing it every day will keep your goals at the top of your mind and help you stay focused on achieving them.

Third, creating a vision board can be a fun and creative way to get motivated. It’s a chance to let your imagination run wild and dream about all the possibilities for your life.

Fourth, making a vision board can help you tap into your subconscious mind. When you see images of what you want to achieve, your subconscious mind will start working on ways to make it happen.

Finally, vision boards can be a great way to get friends and family involved in your goals. Ask them to contribute pictures or quotes that inspire you. This will help you stay accountable and on track to achieve your goals.

What are some tips for creating a vision board?

Here are some tips to help you create a compelling vision board:

1. Start by brainstorming a list of goals and dreams. What do you want to achieve in the next year? In the next five years? Write down as many things as you can, no matter how big or small.

2. Once you have your list, start looking for pictures representing your goals. You can find pictures in magazines or online or print them out from your computer.

3. Once you have a good selection of pictures, start gluing them onto a piece of card or paper. Arrange them however you like – there’s no right or wrong way to do it.

4. Hang your vision board in a place where you’ll see it daily, such as your bedroom or office.

5. Take a few minutes each day to look at your vision board and focus on your goals. Imagine yourself achieving them and feel the emotions of success.
