“Keep your mind fixed on what you want in life: Not on what you don’t want” — Napoleon Hill
Having a vision board is a way to manifest all of your desires and seek them throughout the year. It keeps you focused and chasing those dreams.
If you’re just starting to create your vision board before the year ends, beginning or mid-year, let me show you how to create and manifest your dream life with a vision board.
This guide will help tailor your unique vision board goal.
This is great for women who are career-driven, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in between, a vision board can help you with all that there is to juggle. I got you!
Learning how to create the the vision board of your dreams is the first step toward manifesting your dream life.
Lets get into this!
What is a vision board?
A vision board is a collage that sums up affirmations, pictures, and all of your dreams.
I think it’s important to create a vision board so that you can get everything you desire out of your head and onto paper or something physical that you can see.
And as a mom myself, I know it can get a bit murky thinking about how you can have those dreams and desires because life throws so many balls at you…but this is the time to get out of your shell.
Regardless of family life, you can still have those dreams! (claps hands)
I’m sure you’ve had plenty of small and big goals in your head that you’ve been planning out ,but there are times when you forget down the road.
That’s why having a vision board will give you more clarity and excitement about your future and continue to focus on the bigger picture!
You can add whatever you like and feel at the moment…. it’s your board, your vision of life and so you CAN manifest that. Just remember, you have to put in the work to have that dream work!
Materials to create the vision board of your dreams
Let’s get into the exciting part of gathering your vision board materials.
I purchased most of my materials from Target and Walmart. They usually have everything you need and it’s a one-stop shop. If you’re looking for more budget-friendly options try going to the dollar store, dollar general etc.
There are links in my post where I can earn a small commission if you decide to purchase at no cost to you.
So here is what you’ll need:
- Poster board or foam board I like to get a white one but you can choose whatever color you like.
- Tape or glue
- Scissors
- Magazines- you can find these at the cashier lines or book section in the store. Pick out magazines that resonate with you, and look through some of the pictures to see if anything pops out.
- Printer (optional)- to print photos that you find online. You can also print out the images at a local library or ups store.
- Markers (optional)
- Stickers (optional)
You’ve got your materials and now let’s start creating!
Mom tip: This is also a great time to share this process with your kiddos if they want to participate!
My daughter always loved seeing my vision boards when she was tiny and they can have a designated space to create their vision boards too!
The process of creating the vision board of your dreams
Before I do anything to my board, I like to write down or even think about a few major goals I want to accomplish in a year or a few years from now.
Here are some goal sections you can use for your board:
- Personal growth: ex. Journaling daily, reading more, self-care etc.
- Career and professional goals: ex. Starting a business, getting a promotion, work-life balance, etc.
- Health and wellness: Exercising regularly, eating healthier, prioritizing mental health, etc.
- Financial Goals: Saving money for a home or emergency fund, paying off debt, etc.
- Adventure and Travel: Booking your dream vacation, planning solo trips, family trips, etc.
- Relationships and social connections: Building stronger friendships, finding a partner (if single), etc.
- Creative expression: Writing a book, starting an art project, redecorating your space, etc.
Mom Tip: For my moms out there you can also add these goal sections to your board:
- Family goals: Creating more family time, establishing a family budget, etc.
- Mom self-care goals: Prioritizing “me” time, solo dates, fitness routines, etc.
- Parenting goals: Positive discipline strategies, setting routines for kids to thrive, etc.
- Work-life balance for moms: Setting boundaries for work and family life, creating a mompreneur business, etc.
- Family travel and Experiences: Going to a zoo, seeing a new show, family vacations, etc.
Write these sections down on paper first and then once you’re done, you’ll be able to reference back and remember the goals you’ve had in mind and place them on your board.
Go through the magazines and pick out words that really resonate with you. I always remind myself that I can’t feel “so so” about it. I have to feel aligned with it and so do you!
If you have a goal in mind for who you want to be or what you want in life, that “word” or “picture” has to make you feel that it’s something you desire.
When you do this, your board will truly feel like this is YOU.
Even if it’s something that may seem out of reach and scary, put it on the board because we are here to manifest!
Designing your vision board layout
You can organize the layout of your vision board any way you want.
Some people like to make a collage of their board or organize it by categories. Choose whatever layout you want!
I’ll suggest some tips when I did my vision board:
The first images to place on your board is a background of landscapes, beaches, sunsets, etc to give the board some scenery.
You can also add colors that make you feel happy too!
When I did my vision board, I added these landscape photos first because I’ll see water, sand, etc. and it always gives me a feeling of “Woosahh….. I want to go on that vacation one day!!”
- Go through magazines and begin to cut phrases, single words, photos of things you want to be, materialistic things, whatever your heart desires!
- Try using affirmation stickers for a faster process and they will tie the look of your vision board nicely. Plus who doesn’t like a cute sticker.
- While you’re arranging it, make it feel inspiring and place it in sections before gluing or taping it.
- Have fun with this and take your time! It’s also a great idea to do a vision board party!
Mom tip: Divide your board into sections like family goals, mom self-care goals, etc.
You can create different themes for your board such as fitness goals, personal growth, career aspirations, family, financial freedom etc.
What’s next after your dream vision board?
Once you’re done with your board, make sure you place it where you can see it DAILY.
It’s important to see it daily because your brain needs to be reminded of the things you want.
Feel the emotions of having these goals.
Once you see it and feel it, make it concrete in your head. You will start to see slight changes in your life to get you there.
But remember, you also need to be open to new beginnings!
Mom tip: place your vision board in an area where it’s away from family distractions. Have a personal space for you.
Be proud of what you created, this is your life to manifest!
Using your vision board effectively
Now that you’ve learned how to create the vision board of your dreams, it’s time to manifest it and believe in yourself!
I’m always about intention, and when you continually think about the things you want to do and also act on it, situations will move toward you to seize the opportunity!
It can be scary….. but that’s where it’s at…growth involves fear but don’t let it paralyze you.
Just recognize that when you’re on to doing new things, this emotion is natural but don’t allow it to be fact.
Get wild on your dreams, there are no limitations but yourself.
Invest in your mind…it’s the only way you can start to make changes about your mindset.
That’s why I love to read self help books it’s the best thing for you!
You’re the only one who can create those limiting beliefs and stories that aren’t true to you.
You’re the only one who can reverse the life of living the one you don’t want to the one that you love and desire.
Takeaways
Remember, understanding how to create the vision board of your dreams is just the beginning, consistent action and belief will turn those thoughts into reality.
Look at your vision board daily to start feeling what it would be like to be that woman!
Even for moms this is a great way for you to seek personal goals and family goals on your vision board.
It’s easy to create a board, just take your time with it and get creative!
Remember to figure out a theme, categorize your goals, and grab your supplies to start.
It’s never too late to start manifesting your dreams!
Let me know if you were able to do this project in the comments! I love me a good vision board!
Wishing you all a successful year! Keep going!
I typically use to create a physical vision board every year. He would hang in my office each year where I could see it from my desk and actively look at each of those items several times throughout the day. Michelle I enjoyed this one post and how you broke down the entire vision board process and supplies necessary. However recently I have started using a digital vision board and it is actually on all of my devices so that I am still able to refer to it several times throughout the day.
