Discover how a vision board can help turn your goals and desires into reality. Simple, powerful, and proven to keep you focused, inspired, and on target.
There are different names / versions of a Vision Board…Dream Board, Goal Board, Inspiration Board, Mood Board, Manifestation Board, Intention Board, Life Map or Life Vision Board, Success Board. So then, what exactly is this thing with so many names?
The most simple explanation – a vision board is a visual representation of your goals, dreams, and aspirations. It’s essentially a collage of images, words, and symbols that reflect what you want to achieve or attract into your life. Use vision boards as a motivational tool to help you focus on your intentions and to stay inspired.
The Purpose of Vision Boards
Among the many things Vision Boards help with, these are some of the most basic and important:
- Clarify your goals
- Visualize your ideal life (career, health, relationships, personal growth, family, and more)
- Inspire daily action and positive thinking
- Reinforce the Law of Attraction
What’s on a Vision Board?
- Pictures (cut out from magazines, printed, drawn) that reflect your dreams (e.g., a beach if you want to travel more; the car you have always wanted)
- Words/Quotes that inspire you; summarize your goals
- Symbols (like hearts for love, dollar signs for financial goals, yacht floating on waves, etc.)
- Affirmations that encourage belief in yourself and move you towards your goals
How to Make One
You can create a physical board or a digital board. This is purely preference based on what you want to do with it and where you want to put it.
Physical Vision Boards
- Reflect – Think about what you want in life (short or long term depending on the board you are creating).
- Gather materials – Poster board, scissors, glue, magazines, printouts, pens.
- Assemble – Place your items in a way that feels good to you—there’s no “right” way.
- Display it – Put it somewhere visible so it regularly reminds you of your goals.
Digital Vision Boards
For digital vision boards, you can make these using apps:
- Canva,
- Pinterest,
- Plasfy,
- PicCollage,
- For phone wallpaper:
- VISUAPP – Google Play Store
- Vision Board ++ Maker Manifest – App Store
Where to Display
Physical Vision Boards
The best place to display is somewhere you’ll see it often and where it keeps you motivated without becoming background clutter.
Some ideal spots, depending on your lifestyle and preference:
Top Places to Display Your Vision Board
1. Bedroom Wall – Near your bed or across from it.
Seeing it first thing in the morning and before sleep reinforces your goals every day.
2. Closet Door or Inside Your Closet
A private space you visit every day when getting ready is great for staying focused.
3. Home Office / Desk Area
Ideal if you’re working toward career, financial, and productivity goals as well as keeping you focused during work hours.
4. Bathroom Mirror (or Near It)
Great when combined with affirmations during your morning routines.
5. Bulletin Board or Cork Wall – Makes it easy to update regularly.
Perfect if you like to refresh your goals monthly or seasonally.
6. Personal Planner, Tablet, or Phone (Mini Vision Board) – Portable and private.
Good for on-the-go reflection and goal tracking.
Not Ideal Spots:
Places to Avoid (Usually)
1. Somewhere hidden or out of sight (like a drawer or attic).
2. A spot that gets cluttered or overlooked easily.
3. Public areas if you’re concerned about privacy or judgment (unless you’re okay with sharing).

Tied to the Law of Attraction and spiritual growth — visualizing what you want to “attract” into your life.

So, How Vision Boards Can Help You
What if the life you’ve been dreaming about just needs a clearer vision to begin?
I’m sure you’ve got big ideas. Maybe even a list of goals. But without a clear vision, it’s easy to lose momentum… or forget where you’re headed entirely.
If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or unsure where to go next — you’re not alone. Most people have big goals, but few take the time to truly visualize them in a way that feels real, motivating, and achievable.
That’s where a vision board becomes more than just a pretty collage — it becomes your personal roadmap.
With a step-by-step Vision Board Creation System, you will design a powerful, purpose-driven board that aligns with your goals in every area of life — whether it’s health, career, relationships, finances, or self-growth.
No fluff. No overwhelm. You just need a clear, inspiring process that turns your intentions into visual motivation you’ll actually look at every day.
