Vision Board Dreams & Ideas

First, you’ve got to think about what you enjoy and what makes you happy.

Do you love to craft? Have an obsession with interior design? Dig sports? Prefer to shop?

If you could imagine your life being a mix of photos and words what would it look like?

Cozy and natural, busy and bright? There are as many options as people out there.

My mental images center around peonies, birthday cakes, and fun family dance parties.

I always suggest starting with your imagination before jumping into finding photos and text to add.

Vision Board Goals & Planning

Where do you want to be in the next few years? What do you hope to accomplish, do, enjoy or see?

These are all important questions to consider as you’re building your own vision board.

Spending significant time thinking about your goals and where you hope to go in the coming years is monumental to understanding the life you want to live and showcasing that on your board.

My advice is to really spend some quality time brainstorming what you actually want in life in order to have a solid foundation for the next step.

*Tip: scanning Pinterest for ideas is absolutely encouraged here.

What draws you in? Catches your attention? Makes you want to binge pin until the sun rises?

These are probably some baseline interests that you can build upon in your Lifestyle Vision Board.

This year, we used our printable template as a jumping-off point to create a huge vision board to hang in the office and take it a step further.

We went ahead and created a Lifestyle Vision board entirely based on things we love and things that inspire us.

We combined some of our favorite graphics, relearned why we are passionate about all of the bright, festive, and revelrous things, and had so much fun along the way!
