How to make a vision board – part 1

I was clearing out some old papers, etc. when I found an old vision board. I posted a pic to Instagram and Facebook, and a few people started commenting on it which reminded me that I hadn’t updated my one for years (at least 6 – 7 years, I actually think it was more like 10 years).

I made a vision board book a few years ago – a sketch book with a double spread for each area of my life – but it didn’t really work for me although it is very pretty 🙂

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a visual representation of what you want from your life. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you like as long as it resonates deeply with you.

Know your why

Is this vision board for your entire life or just one part? I’ve done vision boards for my whole life, and separate ones for business and babies. If you really feel like you need to explore one particular area, maybe you want to do a vision board for just that section of your life – e.g. work, family or home.

The idea is that as you keep looking at it, you’ll focus more on what you want out of life and those things will come to pass.

This is a picture I’d printed off from the internet as it was the type of photo I wanted to be able to take. Who knew? I can now take these kinds of pictures! I started scrunching it up to toss and then realised that it’s a live example I can show you guys!

These are just some of the words and images I’ve already gathered for this next vision board.

Actions for this week

  1. Get clear on what you want your vision board to represent
  2. Start paging through magazines for words and images

Do you have a vision board?

It’s my birthday

Today’s my birthday!

I’ve been working on a list called 36 things to do once I turn 36 (as I’m 36 today) and thought I’d share some of them with you.

I firmly believe that when we “write down the vision and make it plain” it focuses us and helps us go for those goals.

That and the fact that maybe some people will help you realise some of your goals 🙂

Without further ado, here is a portion of my list:

  1. Go on a beach holiday with the babies.
  2. Travel internationally with Dion.
  3. Once they can both walk, book a photo shoot (I want cute pics of them walking!)
  4. Do random acts of kindness
  5. Meet up with 3 blog/ online friends
  6. Get involved in some form of ministry again, maybe talks at church?
  7. Complete my vision book (it’s now too big for a board so I’m doing a double spread per area of my life, like family, travel, work, business, etc.)
  8. Learn to make a halfway decent blog header with photos in less than 30 minutes
  9. Learn to let go
  10. Get better with my skincare routine
  11. Give an unexpected gift to someone every week
  12. Lower my expectations of myself and of others
  13. Have lunch with a friend once a month
  14. Get my website redesigned
  15. Live a simpler life

If you feel so inclined, I’d love you to leave me a comment and tell me one thing on your life list, or if you don’t have a life list, your to-do list will do 🙂
