Let’s be honest—vision boards used to feel a little woo-woo to me. Like, do I really think gluing magazine cutouts onto a poster is going to change my life? But here’s the thing: it did.
If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at your goals, unsure how to bring them to life, this post is your sign. I’m walking you through exactly how I used a vision board to manifest some of my biggest milestones—and how you can too. We’re talking clarity, alignment, and energy that hits different.
Whether you’re chasing a health transformation, building a business, or just trying to remember who the heck you are outside of motherhood—your vision deserves space to breathe and be seen.
Let’s build it together 🫶
Why Vision Boards Actually Work (It’s Not Magic—It’s Mindset)
When we focus our energy on a visual representation of what we want, our brain starts filtering our reality through that lens. It’s science.
Your vision board acts as a daily reminder of what matters to you most. It trains your subconscious to look for opportunities, habits, and connections that align with that vision. The more clearly you can see the life you want, the more likely you are to take aligned action.
And yes—it feels really freaking empowering to walk by your vision board and realize, “Wait… that’s already my life.”
Step 1: Get Clear on the Feeling First
Before you gather vision board supplies or print any templates, ask yourself this: How do I want to feel in this next chapter?
Confident? Grounded? Energized? Free? Your goals mean nothing if they don’t serve the way you want to feel. This emotional clarity is what sets the tone for a powerful board.
Pro tip: Write a mini journal entry describing your ideal day a year from now. Who are you with? What are you doing? How do you feel in your body, home, relationships, work?
Step 2: Choose Your Format (Digital vs. Physical)
There’s no “right” way to make a vision board. Choose what fits your vibe:
- Physical Vision Board: Poster board, corkboard, or even the inside of your closet door. Grab scissors, glue, magazines, or printouts.
- Digital Vision Board: Use Canva, Pinterest, or a simple photo collage app. Set it as your phone or desktop background.
Both work—the key is visibility and emotional resonance.
Step 3: Gather Your Vision Board Supplies
If you’re going physical, here’s what you’ll need:
- Poster board or corkboard
- Scissors + glue or tape
- Magazines or printed images/quotes
- Markers or washi tape for extra vibes
Digital? Create a private Pinterest board or drop images into Canva.
Tip: Search for vision board templates on Canva if you want something structured.
Step 4: Pick Visuals That Feel Like Your Future
Don’t just grab aesthetic images—choose photos that spark emotion. This is where most people go wrong. You want images that:
- Make you smile or tear up (yes, really)
- Represent experiences you crave
- Mirror the energy of the life you’re creating
That dream house? Make sure it looks cozy, not just Pinterest-perfect. That strong, glowing woman? She should feel like future you—not someone you “should” look like.
Step 5: Add Power Words + Personal Anchors
Sprinkle in words and phrases that activate you. Things like:
- “Aligned”
- “Unstoppable”
- “Freedom”
- “I am becoming her”
Even better? Add photos of your actual family, past wins, or meaningful reminders. Your board should be part vision, part remembrance of how far you’ve already come.
Step 6: Place It Where You’ll See It Daily
This part matters. Don’t just tuck it away in a closet. Place your vision board somewhere that your eyes will land on it at least once a day—office, nightstand, bathroom mirror, phone background. Let it be your visual affirmation.
Step 7: Take Aligned Action (This Is the Magic Sauce)
Manifestation isn’t about waiting—it’s about aligning. Your vision board sets the tone, but your actions bring it to life.
Ask yourself daily:
- “What’s one small thing I can do today that aligns with my vision?”
- “What would the future version of me choose right now?”
Every tiny decision counts.
Step 8: Celebrate the Signs (Even the Small Ones)
That opportunity that randomly showed up? The new connection? The outfit that makes you feel “her” again?
Celebrate it. Gratitude anchors your energy and reinforces your belief that your vision is unfolding.
Step 9: Update As You Evolve
You’re not static—your vision board shouldn’t be either. If something no longer feels aligned, change it. If you’ve hit a goal, make space for the next one.
Let your board grow with you. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
Step 10: Link Your Vision to Habits
This is how you make the vision real: pair it with action.
Want to feel strong? Add a walk or strength session to your morning routine.
Want a clutter-free home? Set a 5-minute daily declutter timer.
Habits = proof that you’re showing up for the woman you’re becoming.
Final Thoughts: Your Vision Is Worth Fighting For
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of dreaming big but not seeing results, this is your reset. Your vision board isn’t just pretty decor—it’s a daily contract with the version of you who’s already living that life.
Make it powerful. Make it personal. And then go live it.
