Vision Boards: Why They Work and How to Create One

Everyone has heard of a vision board, but many people aren’t entirely clear on what one is or what it can do for them.

A vision board is a visualization and reminder tool consisting of images, affirmations, and quotes that can inspire, motivate, and encourage action.

Many people find vision boards a useful tool in their quest to be successful and to realize their dreams.

A vision board provides important benefits, such as:

1. Motivation.
A vision board is an easy, fast and effective way to boost motivation. Once a vision board is constructed, a quick glance can regenerate positive feelings and motivation instantly.

Take care in creating your vision board. The right vision board for you is one that generates positive feelings in you.

2. Focus.
A vision board is a convenient reminder of what you’re trying to accomplish. Many people lose track of their goals before any significant progress is made.

Vision boards serve as a constant reminder of your most important objectives.

Use these methods to create an effective and exciting vision board:

1. Set your goals.
A vision board requires a specific intention. If you don’t know what your intention is, it’s not possible to make an effective vision board.

Be crystal clear on what you want to accomplish. This is the first step.

2. View the vision boards of others.
There are so many different style designs and ideas, you’re certain to be inspired by viewing the vision boards of others.

There are plenty of photos online that can spark your creativity.

3. Decide on a format.
You could dedicate an entire wall to your vision. Or make a traditional poster. Perhaps a bulletin board is more your style.

There are even websites that provide vision board tools. With this option, you’ll be able to view your vision board from anywhere in the world.

4. Find pictures that represent your goals.
A vision board is visual, so you’re going to need some photos, drawings, or paintings that represent your goals. A

gain, the internet is the easiest way to go if you have a printer up to the task. Otherwise, you’ll have to go old school and cut up magazines or use photos.

Pictures that don’t elicit an emotional response will have a limited impact. Choose wisely.

5. Choose words, quotes, or slogans.
It can be effective to include text in your vision board. Certain words and quotes can also elicit strong emotions.

6. Organize everything.
Do you like everything neat and lined up? Do you prefer the look of a collage? It’s up to you.

Lay your vision board out a few different ways and choose what feels the best to you.

How to use a vision board effectively:

1. Look at your vision board at least twice each day.
Just a few minutes is perfectly fine.

Clear your mind and focus on the images and words that you’ve chosen to represent your objectives.

2. Visualize achieving those things.
Imagine how great it will feel to finally have those items, experiences, and achievements in your life.

3. Add items that appeal to you.
As the days pass, you’ll have new ideas and come across new pictures and text that you’ll want to add to your vision board. Do it!

This is a process and not a one-time event.

4. List action steps you’ve identified as most effective.
A vision board is motivating, but it’s insufficient when it comes to changing your life.

The actions you take are ultimately what matters. Identify the actions that will make your vision board a reality and actually do them!

A vision board can be a powerful tool for bringing positive change to your life.

A vision board is highly motivating and focuses your attention on what you want. Anyone can use this powerful tool to experience more success in life.

Create a Vision Board That Encompasses Both Your Career and Personal Life

Making a vision board can help you visualize your goals and what you really want to achieve in life.

Visually seeing what will result from you meeting your goals right in front of you will inspire you to achieve both your work and life goals by being a constant reminder of the desires you want to fulfill.
 
A vision board, also known as a dream board, can be made out of a posterboard, a corkboard, and even a piece of paper if you wanted it on a smaller scale.

On the surface that you desire, cut out pictures that represent the things that will come from the goals that you want to achieve, or the dreams that you want to make come true. 
 
The pictures that you add to your board could be anything from words that describe how you want yourself to be, like confident, happy, healthy, etc. to pictures of things you want to do, like travelling, gardening, painting, or any other hobbies you’d love to pick up. 
 
If you want, you can make two separate vision boards to separate your work goals from your life goals.

To your work board, maybe you could add things that represent your goals like being focused, being the top contender in the workplace, or even getting higher pay. 
 
You can find images in anything like a magazine or newspaper, or you can even print out pictures from online and then put them on the board. You should keep this board somewhere where you can always see it.

This will constantly remind you of your goals and keep you motivated to work hard to have results.

If you need to, you can even make a digital vision board by using some sort of photo editing app, and you can keep this “board” as a picture on your phone background or your computer backdrop, if you can’t find a place to keep a real vision board at your workplace.
 
Having a vision board is a great way to keep yourself motivated to achieve your goals that you have set for your work life and personal life.

Constantly seeing these images of what you want will keep reminding you of why you’re working so hard, and what you’re eventually going to get to enjoy once you’ve worked hard enough to succeed.

On this board, make sure to not only add things that you want to eventually do someday, but also add goals for your long-term success and happiness.

It should reflect a well-rounded ideal life that delivers high on personal satisfaction.
