A vision board is a collection of visuals designed to keep you motivated and afloat when it comes to your goals and ambitions.

Because we are slowly approaching a new year, I come up with an exercise proposal that will put your imagination to the test: Creating a vision board.

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a collection of visuals designed to keep you motivated and afloat when it comes to your goals and ambitions. Whether it's inspirational quotes, links or images, this is your private space where you can put down exactly what you want on paper, a visual representation of how you envision your best life.

What should a vision board contain and how do we create one?

Whether we're talking about your personal or professional aspirations, a vision board should contain your future plans, what motivates you, and maybe even ideas that come to you ad hoc related to important topics in your life (that you might otherwise have overlook).

What are the benefits of a vision board?
  • 1. Clarification of objectives

    When you give yourself the space to put what you want on paper, it helps you have a better understanding of the end goal you need to reach. It can help you make more informed choices about what you want and how much you want it.

  • 2. Continuous growth and development

    The vision board is a constantly growing and developing space, just like you. Don't be afraid to remove certain things that no longer align with your mission, or add new elements or ideas that come to you along the way that can keep you motivated.

  • 3. Motivation and productivity

    We all know that some days are harder, and a vision board can help keep us motivated even when we can't find the energy we need. Plus, you're more likely to see an increase in productivity because you can visualize these goals becoming reality.

  • 4. Focus and clarity

    Improves focus: It gives you a goal and something to focus on every day, even if it's small steps. That way, you have more clarity on what you want to accomplish to reach your end goal.

  • 5. Increases creativity and removes limiting beliefs

    You are free to shape a life on paper the way you want it, without the restrictions and opinions of those around you. Write down the things that are important to you and make a plan to achieve them.

  • 6. It reminds you where you want to go

    For the vision board to really work, it's important to place it somewhere visible! At times when you are not sure where life is going, take a look at the vision board, as it can indirectly help you make certain decisions and help you recalibrate.

How can I get started?

In the book "Manifest" - by Roxie Nafousi, the author proposes us to use the guide of questions:

      • What do I want to change in my life?
      • How do I feel deep down?
      • What do I want to keep unchanged?

    And as a complement would be:

        • What is really important to me?
        • What is the motivation behind this change I want?
        • Is this what I really want?

      If you don't know where to start and what would be the relevant categories in your life, I invite you as a starting exercise to complete "The wheel of life", to clarify the areas or aspects of your life that you would like to improve, and then create a board containing these categories.

      Here we can talk about one or more categories, such as:

        • Home and environment, etc.
        • Career and your dream job
        • Financial goals
        • Relations
        • Health / well-being
        • Personal development or various certifications

      Once you've defined your main category or categories, choose a way to lay them out on the board (either physically or virtually) and allow yourself to daydream and outline what your ideal is. You can be as creative as you want (or not), the important thing is that it contains the things that are really important to you.

      The main benefit of creating a vision board is the fact that you can have it physically (or virtually) at hand at all times, helping you remember what goals you have set and the fact that you can track their progress throughout the year.

      And for the vision board to really work, don't forget to place it somewhere visible!

      What is the vision you want to bring to reality?
