THIS IS THE SIGN YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ...
Guide on How to Make a Vision Board
Some housekeeping notes:
I finally finished reading “The Motherload” by Sarah Hoover which is coming up Jan 14th. And it’s the funniest/ saddest most real recollection of motherhood I have read about in a long time. Do yourself a favor and pre-order it HERE.
Sales ON, and my personal wishlist is HERE. Kinda obsessing over THESE red cuties, speaking of red this is the dress I wore for Christmas ( size up if you have big boobies).

If you know me, you know I’m big on manifestation. I’ve created the life I have now—my marriage, my kids, my house, my neighborhood—by focusing on what I truly wanted. I know it might sound a little “patchouli,” but hear me out: it works.
Joe Dispenza’s Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself was a game-changer for me. It introduced me to the concept of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to rewire itself through repeated thoughts and actions. Meditation and visualization tap into this process, training your brain to focus on the outcomes you want. Recently, I read The Source by Dr. Tara Swart, which brought everything full circle. It was the nudge I needed to finally create a vision board.
Here’s the thing: my husband and I have been talking about making a vision board since we met. But, like most people, life got busy. We were so focused on doing that we never made the time to reflect and reset. Now feels like the perfect time to re-prioritize and use this powerful tool to refocus our energy and goals.
In the spirit of all the research I’ve been diving into—on vision boards, manifestation, and the science of neuroplasticity—I’ve put together a simple step-by-step guide. This process will help you design a vision board that aligns with your goals, taps into your brain's potential, and gets you one step closer to living the life you’ve been dreaming of.
What Is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a visual representation of your goals and dreams. It uses images, words, and symbols to help you focus on what you want to achieve. Creating a vision board activates the brain's reticular activating system (RAS), which filters what we focus on and helps turn dreams into reality.
Step 1: Set the Scene
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you can reflect. Bring your materials: a board (corkboard, foam board, or even a piece of cardboard), magazines, printed images, scissors, glue, pins, or tape.
Tip: If you're digital-first, consider making a virtual vision board using apps like Pinterest or Canva.
Step 2: Get Clear on Your Goals
Before diving into visuals, spend a few moments journaling or meditating on these questions:
What areas of my life need more focus (career, relationships, health, personal growth)?
What feelings or experiences do I want to cultivate (joy, stability, adventure)?
What are my short-term and long-term goals?
Clarity is key. The more specific your goals, the more effective your vision board will be.
Step 3: Choose Your Visuals Intentionally
Go through magazines or search online for images, words, or quotes that resonate with your goals. Think about:
Big goals: A picture of a dream house, career milestones, or a healthy lifestyle.
Daily habits: Photos of yoga, books, or a balanced meal.
Feelings and vibes: Colors, nature scenes, or abstract art that reflect calmness, energy, or ambition.
Tip: Avoid clutter. Choose visuals that truly speak to your aspirations.
Tip: Focus on Feelings first the emotional connection to your images is more important than the images themselves.
Tip: Choose visuals that resonate with your personal goals and dreams, even if they aren't mainstream representations of success.
Step 4: Assemble Your Vision Board
Arrange your images on the board in a way that feels natural to you. You can organize it by categories (e.g., career, relationships) or themes (e.g., growth, stability).
Use bold, central images for your most important goals.
Layer smaller visuals or words around them for added depth.
Leave some blank space for future additions or updates.
Step 5: Engage With It Daily
The magic of a vision board lies in daily interaction. Spend about 10-15 minutes each day looking at it and imagining yourself achieving your goals. According to The Source, visualization strengthens neural pathways, making your brain more receptive to opportunities that align with your dreams.
Step 6: Track Your Progress
Keep a journal or notes about the goals you've set. Celebrate wins, big or small, and update your vision board as your dreams evolve.
