How to create a vision board?
-
Prepare your space and materials:
You'll need:- A sheet of paper or cardboard (A3 size or larger);
- Magazines, printed images, stickers;
- Scissors, glue, markers, glitter (optional).
-
Define the areas of your life:
Divide the sheet into sections: love, health, career, finances, creativity, travel. You can use the Ba-Gua map (an ancient Chinese method of zone distribution in feng shui).1 -
Formulate your desires correctly:
- Write your desires in the present tense. For example: "I am happy in harmonious relationships," "I travel the world."
- Avoid using "not". Instead of "I am not sick," write "I am healthy and full of energy."
-
Add images and symbols:
Find pictures that bring you joy and inspiration. Label them to enhance your intention. -
Charge the board with energy:
After creating it, spend some time meditating. Visualize your desires as if they are already fulfilled. Feel the joy and gratitude for their realization. -
Place the board correctly:
Put it in a spot where you will see it every day, but keep it personal (like in your bedroom or home office).
2 Helpful Tips
- Create the board with pleasure: Get into a positive mindset and enjoy the process.
- Don’t limit yourself: Dream boldly, even if your desires seem unattainable.
- Update the board: Throughout the year, you can add new elements or replace images as your dreams evolve.
What if I don’t want to glue?
If a traditional vision board isn’t appealing to you, consider alternatives:
