Continue reading if you fall into any of the above categories — I will help you make a vision board that is sustainable and achievable.
Let's learn how setting up a vision board can do wonders for achieving your goals in a stipulated time without feeling overwhelmed.
So, are you excited to know more about it?
What is a vision board?
A vision board or a dream board is a visual manifestation technique that helps you achieve your goals and dreams using a collage of images, photographs, affirmations, and quotes.
It can either be a physical or a digital board.
Have you ever seen a Pinterest board?
The Vision board looks very similar; however, this is not any fancy board with random colorful pictures but images that remind you of your goals every time you see it.
You can set a vision board to achieve your personal, professional, health, relationship, or financial goals.
Basically, anything you want or need in your life, you can start manifesting it using the visual images on your Vision Board.
Here is an example of a vision board
As you can see, a vision board is a dream board with things we want to achieve and goals we want to accomplish.
Now the above image is an example of a vision board, but let me get in depth of it so you can clearly see why the person has used all these images.
What is the purpose of a vision board?
Have you ever dreamed of living your dream life or set New Year Resolutions just to realize that they aren’t working for you?
You set a goal, for example - To Lose weight, you are very determined about the goal, you badly want to lose weight but you find yourself snoozing the alarm off every morning.
Or else, you feel bad for not working out a day, you feel so bad about yourself and be hard on yourself that you start binge eating junk food thinking you don’t deserve to lose some weight and become fit.
If not all the above, you must have at least done this, you set a goal and things go so well for a week or so, but then you get invited to a family function or a party. Now losing focus and having all those extra pieces of candy and food seems so normal during the event.
But later just because you missed one or two days of proper exercise and dieting, do you slowly slip into the trap of unhealthy habits again?
If this sounds like you, then make the vision board your best friend to start seeing positive results.
Before we jump into how a vision board will help you achieve your goals or how this technique works for many or even learning the right way to set your vision board, let's understand the benefits of a vision board and why you should even bother to create one for yourself.
1. Focus
Vision boards help you focus on your goals and aspirations and take action beyond casual thinking.
We as humans think a lot and act less as we like to live in our dream world (I agree the dream world is much happier than the real one).
But, if you want to live your dream, you need LASER-FOCUS to achieve it, and this is where vision boards come into the picture.
2. Get unstuck
In today's world, almost every individual is running a rat race to live a life of specific standards set for himself.
While all that is okay, have you ever wondered what is the one primary reason a person feels stuck in a hamster wheel and feels over-burdened?
It is because of losing touch with his creative side.
Stick that picture of one creative hobby you love the most and see how a vision board will naturally help you build it into your routine to feel unstuck from the mundaneness.
3. Visual reminder
Looking at the vision board every day helps you visualize what you want and acts as a reminder to take action toward achieving your goals.
Even though you may face a few setbacks, having a vision board in place will always give you an edge over others who quickly lose hope and stop working towards their goals.
4. Accountability partner
Trust me; there is no better accountability partner than your vision board.
Why?
The person you choose as your accountability partner may deal with several things and is unlikely to take care of your progress at all times.
On such gloomy days, just looking at your vision board will help you realize that you hold yourself accountable for working towards your dream life.
5. Pump up your passion
Seeing your vision board daily will help you connect deeply with your goals.
It can also guide you in identifying opportunities and boost the chances of your success.
If you are passionate and pumped up about something, it will motivate you to take action.
6. Boosts your happiness
How?
Imagine yourself ticking off one of your dreams from your vision board.
How does it make you feel? Happy, right?
It not only makes you happy but boosts your confidence and determination in ticking off all your dreams on the vision board.
7. It helps set your intentions.
Your intention is the first step toward your success. Any goal you have will begin with an idea before you manifest it into reality, regardless of what it is.
Almost everything we use daily including computers, smartphones, and automobiles began as a single notion.
And after you've set an intention, you may bring your thoughts to fruition.
Using this idea, you can achieve the things you want and the person you want to become.
8. Allows reassessment
By analyzing your vision board, you can gain a lot of insight into yourself, your mind, and what you want in life.
The images and words on your board reflect your thoughts, so reconsider how they make you feel.
You may need to tweak it in a few months as your goals change, priorities shift, and new things enter your life.
The Vision Board is not static – you can update it whenever there is a need.

Now that we have seen all the amazing benefits of using a vision board, let’s jump and see do vision boards even work.
If you think that vision boards are only a sham, then let me tell you, you are making a mistake.
Creating a vision board for yourself will not bring you success overnight. Still, it will work like magic in manifesting your dreams into a reality, provided you work in the right direction.
Let me tell you the story of Oprah Winfrey, the famous American host. She rose from poverty and became one of the world's most successful and wealthiest women.
She is a big fan of visualization and vision boards.
Oprah grew up in a challenging environment and frequently imagined herself having a better life. She kept repeating to herself, "My life will not be like this, my life will not be like this, it will be better!"

If you want a vision board that works like magic, you must put in your 100% effort and leave the rest to the Universe.
So, implement the below-mentioned secrets to make your vision board work like a charm every time you make one for yourself.
1. Quarterly goals
The first and most crucial step is to set short-term goals like quarterly goals. Setting up your vision board every three months will make it seem easier and achievable for you without burnout.
2. Reflect
Reflecting on your past helps you understand your achievements and failures, and it will help you understand your shortcomings and your strengths. This way, you will focus only on the goals you can achieve quickly.
3. Ask yourself
Ask yourself what you actually want from your life and make a list of it.
4. Instill belief
Rewire your subconscious mind to believe in your abilities and strengths so you can achieve success no matter what.
5. Roadmap
Carve a fool-proof roadmap for yourself to take step-by-step action in achieving your goals.
6. Be mindfully present
Always sulking over your past or worrying about your future will only ruin your present. This behavior will keep you from accepting your current situation and working towards your bright future.
7. Be thankful
Be grateful for whatever you have achieved till today. Trust me, appreciating and thanking the Universe for whatever you already have, will widen your horizons and give you countless opportunities to thank the Universe throughout your life.
How to make a vision board?
Now that you know all the benefits of vision boards, I hope you feel inspired to make one yourself.
Now, let's see what things we need to make a powerful vision board that can bring abundance to our life.
Materials you need to make a vision board
Scissors
Glue stick
Markers (to highlight a quote or an affirmation)
Pictures (Print them on a glossy paper to get the feel of it)
Poster board or a wooden mesh board
Colorful clips to hold the pictures
Google (download the images from google that you wish to put on your vision board)
Now, you can search for images either on google or Pinterest. But, I prefer using "Unsplash" to download my vision board images.
Pro tip: Always choose images that speak to you.
For example, if you wish to put a picture that depicts travel, then try to put a picture of the particular place you wish to travel as it makes much more sense than any random travel picture.
And if you are someone like me who wants to travel but is not sure about the destination, then a picture of a backpack or a suitcase is ideal. It also gives the vibe that you want to travel, but at the same time, it is not very specific that it cannot be true.
Make sure to pick pictures that are relevant to your goal and that you can relate to.
The next step is to keep all the materials ready.
Then crop the pictures from the printouts to the desired size.
