Have you ever heard of a vision board?

To be honest, I’ve heard a lot about vision boards but really wasn’t sure what they were or how they could benefit me. But vision boards are powerful tools that can help you manifest your dreams and goals.

They’re essentially collages of images, quotes, and affirmations that represent what you want to achieve in your life. In this post, I’ll share how a vision board can help you achieve your goals and how to vision board for beginners!

What are the benefits of creating a vision board?

• Clarity: Vision boards help you clarify your goals and dreams. When you visually represent what you want, it becomes easier to focus on your intentions.

Where should your vision board go?

Your vision board should be in a place that you can easily see it when you need to be reminded of your goals or motivated to keep working towards them. For best results:

• Choose a place where you spend a lot of time. The more you see your vision board, the more it will motivate you.
• Make sure the vision board is visible. Don’t hide it away in a drawer or closet.

Some places you can position your vision board include:
