What is a vision board?
A vision board is a collage of photos, stickers, pictures, quotes that visualize your goals, dreams and wishes. A vision board is to inspire by making your goals and your vision of the future tangible. A vision board does not necessarily focus on your end goal, it is also focused on the process.
Visualize your goals
A vision board visualizes your goals. Why is this a reason to make one? When you create a vision board, think carefully about what your goals are and what you want to achieve. You get a better idea of what you want and because you consciously work on this, you also see more possibilities to achieve this. A vision board also helps if you don’t know what you want yet. Because when your vision board is finished, you still have a visual goal for your life.
Motivation
If you hang up or place your vision board in a place that you see often, you will be reminded of your goals every day. This motivates you to achieve your goal. If you see your dream every time, you will be more willing to work for it.
Become aware of your goals
Because with a vision board you are consciously working on turning your goals into reality, you will find opportunities more quickly. A vacancy or event that you didn’t notice before now stands out. Because you are working on your goals, the opportunities to achieve them become more and more noticeable.
Nice reminder
When you achieve the goals on your vision board, it is a nice reminder that your dreams are slowly coming true. After a while you have your vision board in the back of your mind and you don’t think about it that much anymore. To look back at the time when it was still a dream is not only fun but also very motivating.
It’s also just fun
Making a vision board is also just a lot of fun. Doing crafts while doing something important gives you a good feeling. It is relaxing to work on and puts you in a good mood.
How do you make a vision board?
Do you also want to make a vision board? It’s very simple. Grab some magazines, sticker sheets, markers and anything you want to put on them. Think about your goal, whether it is big or small. You don’t have to immediately visualize your life goal. A small goal such as your goal for the year is also good. For example, think of a career, love or health goal. Cut out the images, texts and everything that suits your purpose and stick it on a sheet of paper. It’s that simple. Are you not into crafts? Then a digital vision board is more suitable for you. Canva is a great option for this. An advantage of a digital vision board is that you can easily adjust it. One downside is that you may not see it every day unless you set it as your computer wallpaper.
Are you going to make a vision board now too? Be creative with it. Do it your way, there is no right or wrong. You always have the option to create a new board.
