Imagine Your Goals Through a Vision Board (Step 3B)

09 Jan

This is a fun step in the process. You have been thinking and planning a lot, and it is a good time to take a creative break!

A vision board is a visual representation of your goals and dreams. Creating this helps you stay focused and inspired throughout the year. You can make it digitally, on paper, or a poster and then hang it where you can see it daily. It helps remind you of your walk the talk and the goals you set out for the year. It is easy to get distracted, so this helps you to keep seeing the future you want to create.

Creating your Vision Board is Step 3B of the Performance Planner (page 14).

Why a Vision Board Matters

A vision board connects your goals to a physical representation, reinforcing your commitment to them.

Here is why this step is impactful:

Focus: Seeing your goals visually keeps them at the top of your mind.
Motivation: A vision board serves as a daily reminder of what inspires you.
Clarity: Choosing images and words sharpens your understanding of your goals.

How to Create Your Vision Board (Page 14 of the Planner)

Gather Materials: Use magazines, printouts, or digital tools to collect images, quotes, and words that represent your goals.
Organize Your Ideas: Group the images into categories that align with the eight areas from Step 2A. Tip: make sure to put the year on the board. As you do this annually, it is fun to look back over your progress.
Build Your Board: Arrange the images and words on a board or in a digital collage. Focus on making it inspiring and meaningful to you.
Place It Where You’ll See It: Keep your vision board in a visible spot to stay connected to your goals.

Above and Beyond

Include Affirmations: Add empowering statements to your board to encourage positivity.
Use Digital Tools: Create a digital vision board as your desktop or phone background for constant reminders.
Update It Regularly: Revisit and refresh your vision board throughout the year to reflect new goals or priorities.

Creating a vision board is an inspiring and creative way to stay connected to your aspirations. Take an hour to build your board and enjoy the process of making your dreams visible!
