Vision Boards: Make your dreams a reality...
75
I put together my first ever vision board a couple of weeks ago and I had so much fun with it!
I first heard about this concept approximately 4 years ago when The Secret came out. For those that don’t know, The Secret is a book by Rhonda Byrne which discusses The Law of Attraction and how you can utilise it to attract what you want AND need into your life. If you are fully conscious of this law and from this I mean, if you BELIEVE the Universe is governed by a series of natural laws, this particular one being that: thoughts attract it WILL work quicker. I only write about what I know. And not only has it worked for me, it continues to work magic in my life, daily.
WHAT IS A VISION BOARD?
A vision board is a visual collation of cut-out pictures or words, basically all the things that you want to be, have or do in your life. It represents your goals, your dreams and your vision.
As visual beings we immediately respond to visual stimulation. This response then triggers our emotions and it is this energy which then activates the Law of Attraction.
Think about it, if you’re consciously thinking about your goals day in day out AND seeing this visual representation of your goals in colour... you will begin to take action to manifest your dreams. Try it and see!
WHAT IS YOUR VISION?
Your highest dream? Your passion? Your purpose? The thing that wakes you up in the morning and that you’d do for free?
Do you wish you were married or in a serious relationship with your soulmate?
What about the material stuff? What car do you want to be driving this time next year? How about that ideal house you want to live in? Do you want to be a millionaire? Or earn XX amount monthly?
Which country do you dream of spending the rest of your life?
In creating your vision board the first thing you need to get really clear about, is this. Remember it is your vision... and YOUR LIFE.
Whatever it is that you want to achieve, hold it in your mind...
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Now for the fun part. You will need:
- Magazines; that relate to the areas of what you want
- Poster board or foam board
- Scissors
- Blu-tack or pins
If you don’t want to buy magazines try your local library, they probably have loads they don’t need. Or you can pick up freebies from your cafes, doctors and dentists surgery. I got a whole stack of mags free from my local cafe. Just ask!
Or you can download images from the internet. It is always good to get a diverse choice of colourful images.
FIND A COMFORTABLE SPACE
Set yourself time and find a quiet comfortable space.
Clear your mind and know that all of what you need is within those pages. It is important that the images you choose FEEL right. Remember this is your life so your choices should be made from the heart and instinctively.
Flip through the magazines and find pictures and words that resonate with you.
As I was doing mine there were some words that just leapt out at me, so I cut them out and stuck them on my board. It doesn’t have to make sense. Just trust the process and try not to understand or rationalise it. The main thing is that it feels right and that it has meaning for you.
YOUR VISION BOARD
You can apportion segments of the board to areas of your life, such as LOVE MONEY CAREER HEALTH SPIRITUAL or you can just go with the flow. But make it neat.. you want order to represent the structure for your life.
Some people suggest putting a [happy] image of yourself slam dunk in the middle of the board, to give it a personal touch. Again its up to you. You can use quotes, affirmations or images of people you want to meet - ANYTHING goes!
Remember you can create your vision board in more than one sitting. Take your time with this. Mine took a few days to complete, and there is still an empty spot at the bottom for an image I have yet to find. But it’s ok.
Just get your creative juices going and have fun with this!
Put your vision board in a place where you will see it every single day! And sit with it for a few minutes daily to absorb this powerful visual of your dreams. The objective is to keep you focused on your goals and seeing them daily should spur you into take action.
Thanks for reading and get started on your vision... TODAY!

@Thats great that you take time to visualise specific outcomes.. even just a few minutes sets the tone for the day. But I had so much fun putting my vb together and it'll be interesting to see what happens.. so watch this space Boomer!!
Awesome Ashantina! Always happy to read and spread the message about Law of Attraction.
Changing my thoughts, and thus my feelings has truly changed my life. I have never been happier in my life, now that I am applying LOA principles.
Have been thinking about doing my Vision Board for a week, this article came just in time for me- helpful:)
@Hey Ruzica, oh you must!! Like you I'd been thinking about it for weeks and it just felt right to do it now. Imagine: this time next year we can swap crazy real stories about how our Vision Boards worked!!
I have a vision board, it's high time I made another, many of the items on my vision board have been realized... NEXT! Thank you for the very positive flow of energy! May you have more than enough in every regard of prosperity! :) Katie
P.S. They do work, just keep looking and believing.
@Cheers Katie, hearing this has worked from someone I know has upped my energy and belief even more!! Mwah!
I was just thinking of writing a hub about the
Very same thing!! I've always kept a vision board
I love doing it:) I actually need to do a new one!!
So if I still decide to do a hub on this subject
I will be sure to include ur link:)
Luv the way u put this hub together!!
Peace and light!!
Kgr
I don’t have a vision board, not yet! I have been thinking about it though and your hub has made me even more determent! Thanks for this great and inspirational hub!
@Hey Kgr, ..has it worked for you?? Cool! lookin forward to reading it.. Stay Blessed :)
@With a name like Thougtforce, you have just gotta DO IT! And when you do, let me know when the magic starts happnin!! We'll swap notes :)
I Have included my definite purpose in writing on my vision board.This allows my thoughts to connect with my personal beliefs in helping others and finding new ways to experience love.Pictures of things I love are important but I think a vision board should go much deeper.My thoughts go far beyond just material things.I also write in large letters my feelings that I feel when I get what I want.Peace,Giving,Sharing,Loving,Understanding so that I never loose sight of my dreams.Sometimes a picture board can be too materialistic and I think people are so much more than the objects they can acquire.Your hub inspired me to make a new vision board.I love people that live on the edge of making all their dreams come true.Good luck and peace and love where ever you go.I loved the hub and the Secret and I am always learning more.
@Welcome to my hub DREAM ON! Your words tell me that you are an individual with a deep sense of clarity and Self. I'm appreciatin' that!
Soo glad you're feelin inspired, let me know how you get on!! Thank you for your warm words and drop by again soon :)
Hi Ashantina,
I had heard about vision boards a while back, but your Hub has inspired me to go ahead and do something instead of just reading about. So many thanks for your wonderful Hub!
@Hey Seeker7, oh you must and its so much fun!! Make sure to put it somewhere you're gonna see it every day!! And do check back and let me know how you got on. Peace :)
Cool! I need to try this, as nothing else has seemed to help me. : ) Thanks for sharing this with those of us pulling our hair out, trying to figure what everyone else's secret is to succeeding. Voted up and bookmarked!
This is great! I made a vision board a few years ago...I am now inspired to create another one. I definitely believe in the law of attraction and seeing those things you desire on a vision board is a big help of keeping the dream alive!
@Glad to hear shygirl! We need to utilise ALL the resources we are aware of.. upp our Self Belief.. take action.. and we must NEVER EVER GIVE UP!! These are some of The other Secrets.. Have fun with it gurl! :))
@Hey Whole-isticDiva! Oh you must!! Isnt the LOA magical..?? Once you tap into it, life takes on a brand new surreal meaning. Let me know how you get on! And thanks for stopping sweetie :)
Hi, what a great idea! I have heard about talking to the universe before but not in such a visual way, I am going to have a go at this! lol
@Its such a powerful way to reinforce our thoughts and dreams. And also to remind us of our dreams, esp on a daily basis. Have fun with this Nell, and do feedback in a few months to let me know your results. Good luck!!
Voted this awesome and useful Ashantina- I actually just returned from my spiritual retreat and was in conversation with a friend about this activity. For the life of me I could not recall the name of the 'board' so this is sweet synchronisity that the Universe has provided the answer. Thanks for visiting my site and nudging me over to your work once more.
I do regular collage work with my patients, which is a mini vision board. I love facilitating the group b/c it is inspiring to encourage them, but also, it is such a creative activity.
My collage work (mini vision board) led me from 'dreaming' about opening my own dance studio, back in the late '80's, to actually doing it...in just two weeks! It was incredibly powerful.
Great hub. Thanks for sharing.
@..wow in just two weeks!! Im so inspired to hear this Denise! Your work sounds very purpose-full and therapeutic.. its always satisfying when our purpose is to teach [and heal others] and in doing so we also learn ourselves.
Thank you for the vote up and taking time to read.
Have a beautiful day! :)
I have been to the Secret website and know a little about this but also, Dr. Wayne Dyer stresses some of the same things and I have read countless books by him. We are what we think for sure. I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing.
@You're right lctodd that we are what we think and that 'our thoughts attract'.. I love Dr Dyers' gentle yet v powerful philosophies for living. Many if not all of the self development coaches point to this law of attraction as the foundation of abundance.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and commenting.
Hope you will visit again soon! :)
Hi, again, just to say I have been passing this on to a couple of my friends! so even if I don't get around to trying it for a while, I know they will be busy making theirs, they loved it!
@Thank you Nell, Im v happy to hear that!! And do try to get yours done soon if you can.. it could change your life!!
Thanks again, hugs
Thank you Ashantina for writing such a practical useful guide. You have made "The Secret" so accessible for everyone by doing this. As you know this is my pet topic but this is an approach I had not come across.Voted up!
I have read the 'The Secret' but have never come across the idea of a vision board. Thanks so much for writing about it! I will definetely set about creating it TODAY :D
@Thank you SpiritWhisperer.
It is truly powerful when you are visually re-minded of your dreams.. in colour.. every-single-day! I'm glad I finally 'got round to doing it' as its such a fun way to apply the magic of the loa principles!!
Thank you for the vote up, I appreciate it :)
@Hi Clara, glad to meet you! I first heard about the vision board concept through John Assaraf, who is one of the teachers from The Secret. If you watch the video above he relays his well known story about the amazing manifestations that resulted from doing his own vb.
Im happy to hear that you are uber-inspired to create a vision board!! Have fun with it hun.. and dream big!!!
Peace and blessings :)
Great hub! I believe in the vision board and I read the "Secret." They provide a way to lift yourself up and position yourself to receive the bounties of the universe. Thanks for reminding me about the Law of Attraction.
Most definitely! I think its important to utilise all the resources we are aware of.. and if you believe in the 'laws'... stuff manifests quicker :)
I love the idea of doing a vision board. It seems that I'm sadly uneducated about The Secret or vision boards, but you've inspired me to learn more. :) Great hub!
Hi Stephanie
Being a creative gal yourself, you will have a riot creating your new vision board!! Sooo glad to hear you're feeling inspired... And thanks for the visit :)
I just told my "hubby" the other day that he and I need to do a vision board... He has all these old mag clippings from before he and I met of his dream bed...the sofa set he wanted... it's all from years ago. I told him if we visualize it every day...it will force us to focus on it... You have given me the focus on getting it done!!!!
Glad to hear mariefontaine!! Its 6 months since I created my first ever vision board... and it hangs just above my pc so Im visualisin every day!! Will def feedback in six months time with results :) In the meantime get clippin girl!!!
Hugs
Love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Hi carozy, thanks for stopping by!! Have a great day ):
Great post, I just wrote a new hub on how I use Pinterest as an online vision board and I will add your hub for people to learn more about creating a vision board.
Hi loseweightmama, the visual reinforcement is so powerful. Will check out Pinterest...and a bigh thank you for sharing.
Take care hun ):

I've read The Secret, watched the movie, and heard John Assaraf, Jack Canfield and others speak about vision boards, but haven't taken the time to create one, yet.
I do, however, often visualize positive, specific outcomes during meditation which also works well.
Thanks for sharing this cool hub. I voted it up and useful.
