How to Make a Vision Board and Take the Next Steps to Achieving Your Goals

Making collages and mood boards is always a fun activity that sparks inspiration and creativity. A great way to reflect on your goals and work towards them is to visualize them and create something called a vision board. This is typically a collection of images that resembles certain things you wish to achieve. Personally, I love making one at the beginning of each year in order to set the tone for the year and what I want to focus on. I display my vision board on my iPad wallpaper, framed in my bedroom, and at my desk in the office. I love looking at it to remind me of what I'm working towards and reasons to keep plugging along.

This is your sign to make a vision board! Here's how you can make your own vision board:

STEP 1: Write down all the things you want to achieve/attract in your life this year in specific categories of your life. Personal health/wellness, relationships, career, material items, travel, etc.

STEP 2: Find images that resonate with you to represent each of these goals. Pinterest is great for this! I love searching for pink aesthetic images that all go nicely together.

STEP 3: Arrange the images on a blank poster page in Canva. I prefer to group my images by category so that they're organized nicely and each section reflects specific goals.

STEP 4: Save your vision board as PNG and set it as your phone/computer wallpaper. Save it as a PDF version to print it off if you wish as well! I love having both digital and physical copies.

STEP 5: Look at your vision board often. Celebrate the things that you manifest! Keep working towards the rest. Don't get discouraged, it's okay if everything doesn't come true right away.

I focused on images of my dream condo that I hope to move to this year, the Pomeranian puppy that I've been planning to get (after I move), reaching financial goals, finding a partner, and focusing on having a healthier lifestyle that includes healthy eating and exercise plans.
