Vision Boards

What is a vision board? A vision board is a collage of pictures and/or words representing a person's wishes, dreams or goals. They are intended to serve as inspiration or motivation.

You can get as creative as you want making your vision board. We used poster board and printed photos, words and sayings off of the computer and we loved how they came out. Other things you can use are magazine clips, photos, and stickers. You can leave them black and white or add color with markers, crayons or paint. If you’re not into the craft aspect of the vision boards, you might like to create a digital board on websites such as Pinterest.

It’s a great activity to do together and it is fun to see all the different things everyone wants to achieve. I had no idea my kids were interested in some of the things they put on their vision boards. Last year was the first year we did this, and we were surprised how many things actually happened that were on our vision boards. Now we have turned this into a New Year’s tradition. It’s fun to look ahead for the new year and close out the old year reflecting on what we’ve accomplished.

Vision boards can be done for all kinds of things in your life. They can be visions for what you see over the coming year, or for years to come. You can make a vision board of what you hope your wedding will be like, what your future house will look like or what exciting places you want to visit. The choice is yours… it’s your vision. Just make sure you put it somewhere that you can look at it to make your visions come true.
