Vision Board Template

The Vision Board template contains beautifully composed placeholders for images, notes, video and color swatches. Just drag and drop your content onto the board to create an inspiring vision board in minutes.

Start with a brain dump of everything you want to achieve. Vision boards can include your aspirations for the year ahead and any thoughts or feelings you want to bring into your life. Whichever you choose, it's important to include goals you can actually achieve.

Describe your goals in vivid detail. For example, if you're savings goal is a new car, don't just write 'new car'. Describe the make, model and even the colour you'd like.

If you get stuck, try answering the following questions...

• How can I be happier at work? Do I have new career goals? What's my dream job?
• How can I create a healthier body and mind?
• What are my financial goals? What major purchases should I save for?
• How can I improve relationships with my partner, friends or family?
• Are there any activities I'd like to try? What have I always wanted to learn?
• What's a destination I've always wanted to travel to?
• How do I want to feel every day?

Now that you've set out your goals, start looking for images that represent them. These will serve as your daily visual reminder, so pick images you love to look at. Is there something about a particular image that captures your dreams and goals perfectly? Save it to your board.

It's best to choose images that include people doing the activities you'd like to try, images of the items you're saving for, and even links to books you'd like to buy. And don't worry too much about organizing your board just yet—that bit comes next.

Once you've collected the links and imagery, the next step is to arrange your vision board into a composition you find visually appealing. You'll be staring at this daily, so take your time arranging it until you're happy.

Start by exploring composition and introducing scale. Is there one goal in your board that's most important to you? Try increasing its size. Are there themes you can see? Try grouping those elements together to signify their relationship. There's no right or wrong to laying out your board. Just have fun and be creative.

Now that your board is taking shape, include some words to get your mind thinking positively. Adding captions under your images is a great reminder of why you chose those photos. You can also fill your vision board with words that reaffirm how you'd like to feel when you start each day. They can be singular words or inspiring quotes. Read them back to yourself to see how they make you feel.

Be sure to phrase your affirmations in a positive way. Instead of saying 'I won't neglect my friends.' try saying 'I'll reach out to friends every day.' You can find plenty of inspiring quotes online if you get stuck. If there are particular words you want to draw attention to in your board, increase the size of them or try adding some color.

Now that your board is complete and looking amazing, it's time to manifest your dreams. Vision boards will never come true if you forget about them, so export your board. Print it out and hang it beside your bathroom mirror or set it as your computer or phone wallpaper. It's important that you see it every day.

Re-read your affirmations to help calm your mind if you're feeling overwhelmed and reinforce positive thoughts. The goal is to walk away from your vision board feeling joy and motivation.
