What is a Vision Board?

Let’s not overcomplicate it; a vision board is just a visual way to represent your goals, dreams and aspirations. But it’s not just a fun way to daydream; if used correctly it’s a powerful tool that visualizes your goals and aspirations. It helps you stay focused and motivated by serving as a constant reminder of what you want. Your vision board can be focused on whatever aligns with your priorities. It might be laser-focused on a single goal or it might include goals across multiple areas: career, health and wellness, finances, etc. Either way, creating a 2025 vision board is an exciting way to kickstart the year and include your new year’s resolution list, ensuring that your goals stay front and center as the year goes on.

What to Include

Here are some suggestions to get you started:

  • Work: dream job/career, starting a business or side hustle
  • Health and Wellness: fitness, nutrition, stress management
  • Financial goals: owning a home, savings, investing
  • Hobbies/Passions
  • Travel: destinations, experiences
  • Learning: what do you want to know more about?

It’s important to establish your goals for each of the areas you want to include before you jump into creating the vision board. It’s easy to get distracted by all the fantastic images and quotes and end up with a gorgeous vision board that doesn’t represent your priorities and goals (whomp, whomp). If it doesn’t light you up, resonate with what you truly want or motivate you to take consistent action then it’s not working.

Gather Your Materials

Whether you decide to create your vision board digitally or the traditional method you’ll need some supplies. For traditional visions boards items like magazines, scissors, glue, and poster board or a cork board. You may be able to source a lot of these items for free or very low cost: a second-hand cork board that’s no longer being used, old magazines from friends or offices, stickers, glue and other supplies from a discount or dollar store. If you don’t have the time or patience to hunt down the necessary items consider a vision board kit with photos, quotes, etc. Alternatively, you can opt for digital tools that allow you to create a virtual vision board: Canva, Milanote, or Miro are a few options. Whichever method you choose, the key is to find images and words that resonate with your 2025 goals, whether it’s embarking on a new career path, improving your health, or traveling the world.

Hosting a 2025 Vision Board Party

Why not make share the experience by organizing a 2025 vision board party? It’s a fun way to share ideas and inspire each another that also eliminates procrastination. You can manage costs by making the party a potluck or bring your favorite beverage. A great icebreaker to start the party is to ask each guest to identify their top goal or to create a new year’s resolution list together. Then, let creativity flow as you all create your boards. Not only will you end up with a beautiful visual representation of your goals, but you’ll also leave with a sense of community and support! Consider setting up regular get togethers to help keep everyone motivated; it’s always interesting to see how things evolve as the year goes on.
