I have been creating my own vision boards and mood boards for a few years now - mostly as a way to visually show my goals for the year versus writing them out. As you can gain from my career choice, I am very much a visual learner!
For my (my goal is daily) walks, I choose different podcasts to listen to - mostly career, personal growth, or design related. I’m sure most people do this - so maybe an audiobook or a fun playlist for you. This past week, as I am trying to manifest big things in 2024, I searched ‘manifestation’ for my walk and stumbled upon Mel Robbins “How to Manifest Anything You Want: 4 Simple Steps Backed by Neuroscience & Olympic Athletes.”
In one of the 4 steps she comments on how people have been doing vision boards wrong. If you’re pasting on your end goal, say a big beach house, you’ll have a harder time reaching that big goal without showing the steps it will take you to get there. It’s very similar to goal-setting, and in my career space, creating and shipping in phases! If you don’t outline the smaller goals to get to the bigger goal, that end goal can be much more intimidating and can seem like it’ll take years to achieve. I’ve heard this many times, but this time it resonated differently. I thought it would be fun, and maybe more efficient, to break my vision boards down by month - into smaller steps - to create a larger image of what I want for 2024.
First, I wrote down what I wanted for the year, and then what that might look like for the month of January. I made sure everything seemed realistic and attainable, even if some ideas felt a little out of my comfort zone. Don’t they say, “life doesn’t happen in your comfort zone?” or something like that.
So, here’s my January vision board!
All images were snagged from Pinterest, therefore I do not take credit for any original thought surrounding them individually. They will also not be used to make any profit on.
