What is a Vision Board?

Let’s start with the basics: What exactly is a vision board, and what is its purpose? 

A vision board is essentially a collage or collection of images that encapsulates your goals and dreams for the year in a more creative manner. Having an aesthetic visual will inspire the motivation to accomplish your future goals. Subconsciously, your mind is constantly manifesting those desires and turning them into affirmations that can potentially propel you toward success.

Step 1: Write Down Your Goals

The initial step is to list all the goals you would like to accomplish in 2024. You don't need to set an exact number to fill up your vision board; simply write down as many as you want and let the images to do the talking. 

Step 2: Hunt for Inspirational Imagery

Now, it's time to hunt for visuals that depict the goals you want to accomplish. Seek out images that resonate with your goals, whether in a symbolic or literal sense. The images do not necessarily have to come from your camera roll; in this case, Pinterest will become your bestie. Screenshot images that strike a cord; some might even fulfill multiple goals at once (which is totally fine). Don’t shy away from amassing more than you think you need; screenshot more images than deemed necessary to ensure you have enough options. 

*Pro Tip: Maintain a consistent tone or theme, whether it’s a similar color palette or cohesive filter. Doing this will make sure all the images blend more easily.

Step 3: Crafting the Vision Board

Once you have obtained all the images that portray your goals, it's time to put them together. Personally, Canva is the top choice when it comes to creating collages; it just makes the work a million times easier. I always opt for a blank page instead of using pre-made templates, but if you feel like you might need a bit more guidance, feel free to do so.

*Pro Tip: If you would like to use the vision board as a lock screen, make sure to select the Phone Wallpaper scale.

Handy Tips:

1. Kickstart with a center image, preferably the one that represents your most cherished goal or a powerful quote. 

2. If you are a fan of quotes and have multiple, strategically place them separately from each other to avoid repetition. 

3. Forget Tetris; this is your creative playground. Lightly overlap the corners of images without covering them up completely for an organic and more visually appealing vibe.

4. If you feel a bit more artsy, you can turn images into stickers and randomly scatter them to cover gaps.
