8 TOOLS TO CREATE YOUR VISION BOARD

Why do you need a vision board?  It’s an opportunity to get what’s in your head out, and onto a source that you can visually see.  There’s a sense of accountability when you can visualize your goals, dreams, and aspirations.  It is also a way to celebrate when you achieve those goals.  See how creative you can get with the tools listed below:

1. Board

• Corkboard: It’s an option that lets you pin or tack your images and quotes.
• Poster Board: If you’re into glue, this is another option  Glue images, words, and other elements that speak to your vision for the year.
• Magnetic Board: This option lets you use cute magnets along with the images, quotes, etc.

2. Images and Visuals

• Magazine Cutouts: This part right here is so much fun!  You get to cut out pictures that resonate with your dreams.
• Printed Images: Online is another source for pictures and  illustrations that match your goals and dreams.

• Stickers:  Let your creativity loose by using stickers as visuals that match your aspirations.

3. Words and Affirmations

• Personal Mantras: If you don’t want to use someone else’s, write your own affirmations or short, powerful statements.
• Words Cutouts:  I’ve done this in the past.  Cut out words or phrases that align with your vision.  Skirt Magazine used to have some good ones.
