We are just going to say it- we LOVE vision boards. Not only do they act as a great stress-relieving activity during this social distancing season, but they also help us visualize our goals for the remainder of the year. And, we are having so much fun with it!
But, what is the purpose of a vision boards, actually? Vision boards are one of the best ways to remind yourself of the life you wish to manifest in 2020 (despite all the chaos). This could be anything from goals, to quotes, to people you wish you could be like. Creating a vision board is the perfect way to narrow down and focus on the important things.
Want to start a business? Put your plan on your vision board. Want to redecorate your home? Add your furniture inspo to your vision board. It could also be something as simple as quotes that inspire you. The world is your oyster when it comes to your goals and hopes for the year to come. All you need to do is find images that represent these ideas.
One popular way to create a vision board is to start with a blank canvas or bulletin board and create a collage out of the images that you feel represent your goals. Here at the Gem Studio, we love using pictures of our favorite stones and quotes that spark creativity. Once you have your images placed how you want them on the board, hang it in a place that you are in often. There is no better way to be reminded of the goals on your vision board than by having it in a place that you visit frequently!
This isn’t the only way to create a vision board, it is also super easy (and more fun in our opinion) to create one digitally!
