Creating a vision board serves a very similar purpose, it allows you to create a visual reminder of your vision and goals for your life personally and professionally. I recently created my vision board and I put it on my dresser as a daily reminder and inspiration of what I want my life to look like today, tomorrow and in 20 years.
Here is what I used to create my vision board:
I also used a Black Ultra Fine Point Sharpie and I printed out images found on Google Image that represent a visual image of my vision.
Here is my vision board completed:
Each of the images represents a part of the vision I have for my life either personally or professionally, I also have them in order of importance and/or order of ability to accomplish timeline.

This is a constant reminder to put only good and healthy things into my body and to work out…trust me I need the constant reminder.In my vision of life, my husband and I are that happy old couple talking long walks, holding hands and enjoying retirement together. This is a visual reminder that I need to take the steps today to keep our marriage strong and healthy. It is also a reminder that I need to make sure our retirement funds are also strong and healthy so we can retire and enjoy retirement.I love my girlfriends and girl and family time. I have the most amazing friends and family! When life throws lemons at you, you need friends and family you can call and ugly cry with. This is a reminder to make time for those friendships. Love you all!!I truly enjoy going to work every day. I love being challenged and helping people grow professionally. I look forward to growing my career and one day, I would like to lead a sales team.Traveling is a passion of mine. Going to new places, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures is so fun! My vision is to travel to a new place on vacation every year. Belize in December for 2018!This is a daily visual reminder, to work hard because I would really like new floors. Has anyone tried the high-end vinyl that looks like wood? What do you think? I am leaning that way 🙂Right now our backyard is a beautiful dirt lot with an amazing view of the Sandia Mountains. I would really like a beautifully landscaped backyard with a view of the Sandias from my pool! This my visual of that goal.I have a great kitchen, it is a nice size, open to the living room and very functional. However, I would like to update a few things in it. I love these countertops!My long-term goal is to own a house on a lake or river maybe on Lake Tahoe or in Oregon. I drive a lot for my job and recently on my drive I have been visualizing my husband and I enjoying our morning coffee on the patio watching our dogs splashing around in the lake or us on a boat in the lake.
I believe that what you focus on and think about becomes your reality. This is why visions and creating vision boards are so imported to make your dreams a reality. What is your vision for your life? What would you put on your vision board? Do you need to create a new vision board? As you complete parts of your vision and life changes you may need to create an updated board.
