10 Things To Include In Your Vision Board
Lauren Carey


New Year's Eve is the perfect day to create a vision board for the coming year. It is time to tap into the right side of your brain and rekindle that childlike creativity. While vision boarding is becoming increasingly popular it is important to understand what elements should be included in a vision board to aid you in your creative process.

Your Personal Goals

Giphy

Paste images on your vision board that represent your personal goals for 2020. Give yourself the opportunity to define what your personal goals are because they're individual to you. Some categories personal goals could fall under are mental health, family, religion, friendships, relationship.

Your Professional Goals

Giphy

Paste images on your vision board that represent your professional goals for 2020. Some examples are careers, jobs, company, logos, or promotions.

Your Educational Goals

Giphy

Paste images on your vision board that visually depict your educational goals. If you're a student this could be numbers to reflect a GPA goal, classes you want to take, or a diploma. For people who are not currently enrolled in school it is important to remember to never stop learning and accumulating new knowledge. Some examples are books you want to read, movies you want to watch, or skills you want to learn.

Your Fitness, Wellness, and Nutritional Goals

Giphy

Paste images on your vision board that represent your fitness, wellness, and nutritional goals for 2020. Some examples are sports you want to play, gym, workouts you want to try, foods you want to eat.

Your Financial Goals

Paste images on your vision board that represent your financial goals for 2020. Some examples are investing, cash, savings, and budgeting.

Places you want to travel

Paste images on your vision board that visually depict places you want to travel locally, nationally, or professionally. Some examples are pictures of beaches, airplanes, flags, luggage, etc.

Affirmational Words/Phrases

Giphy

Paste affirmational words and phrases on your vision board so they can serve as mantras for the coming year. Some examples are: "don't settle for less", "do it right or do it again", "bring something different to the table".

People Who Inspire You

Giphy

Paste pictures of people that inspire you. This could be celebrities or pictures of people you know. Consider pasting images of your favorite artist, writer, actor, etc.

Your Priorities

Giphy

Paste images on your vision board that reflect your priorities. For example, if your top priority is mental health, put images and phrases that will reflect your mental health goals.

Dreams You Want To Accomplish

Giphy

Lastly, paste images on your vision board that reflect your dreams. Think about what is on your bucket list and include images on there. Think about things you want to accomplish but fail to launch and put images that reflect those things. Think about the things that you are most passionate about and include images on your vision board that reflect that.


BEFORE VISION BOARDING

Before you begin your vision board, brainstorm about each of the elements above. Under each element brainstorm as many goals as you can think. For example, brainstorm all your fitness, wellness, and nutritional goals on paper. Then after you brainstorm for all 10 elements find images of each of those goals in magazines. Remember that there is no wrong way to create a vision board and feel free to adapt your own unique style to it.

AFTER VISION BOARDING

After you finish your vision board put it in a place you see every single day. This could be on the wall in your bedroom, on the fridge, or on your desk at work. Each day be sure to allot time to look at your vision board and self reflect about where you are in progress with your 2020 visions. Each day be cognizant of what your 2020 visions are and take steps to manifest those visions into reality. On days you feel like you're stuck in a rut reflecting back to element number 8 (People That Inspire You) and identify them on your vision board. Use your heroes as inspiration to keep pushing forward. Never forget, "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them "(Walt Disney).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
