As this year draws to a close, we say hello to a brand new year filled with endless possibilities and opportunities for growth! Let us start the year by visually displaying your dreams and aspirations through the timeless art of creating a vision board. As a passionate DIY and Pinterest enthusiast, I'm here to guide you through the process of crafting a vision board that not only reflects your goals but also sparks your creativity.
Gather Your Supplies
First things first, gather the essentials for your vision board project. Head to your local craft store and grab a sturdy board or canvas as your base. Do not forget some glue, scissors, and a stack of old magazines—the goldmine of images and words that will bring your vision to life. And, of course, do not overlook the power of Pinterest for digital inspiration and printable elements.
Set Your Intentions
Before getting started on the visuals, take a moment to reflect on your goals for the upcoming year. What areas of your life do you want to focus on? Whether it is personal development, career growth, health and wellness, or travel adventures, defining your intentions will guide the overall theme of your vision board.
Curate on Pinterest
Now, onto the world of Pinterest, where inspiration knows no bounds. Create a board for your vision board project and start pinning images, quotes, and ideas that resonate with your goals. Pinterest is a gem for aesthetically pleasing visuals, motivational quotes, and DIY techniques. Let your creative spirit run wild as you compile a collection that speaks to your heart.
Mix Digital and Analog
Blend the best of both worlds by incorporating digital elements into your physical vision board. Print out your favorite Pinterest finds and cut them out to fit your board. This fusion of digital and analog adds a modern touch to your creation while maintaining the charm of a hands-on project.
Get Crafty
Now comes the fun part—assembling your vision board! Arrange your cutouts in a way that tells a visual story of your aspiration. Something I like to do is group my goals and have the images represent each goal (Personal development, Career Growth, Health and Wellness, Travel adventures etc).
Play with colors, textures, and layering to create a visually appealing and cohesive design. Don't hesitate to add personal touches, such as handwritten notes or drawings, to make it uniquely yours.
Manifesting Purposefully
As you carefully glue each element, inform your intentions into the process. Envision yourself realizing your goals and inviting positive energy to permeate your creation. This step transcends mere aesthetics; it is about deeply embedding your aspirations into the essence of your vision board.
Congratulations! You have just created a tool for manifesting your dreams and goals in the coming year. Display your vision board in a place where you will see it daily, serving as a constant reminder of the exciting journey ahead. We encourage you to share your vision board with us on social media by using the hashtag #EricksonVisionBoard2024.
