Episode 16: Creating a Vision Board for Life Goals

Why Vision Boards Matter

The Power of Visualization

Science shows that the brain reacts to visualization similarly to real experiences.

Studies on athletes and high achievers show that visualizing success helps the brain create neural pathways that support achieving goals.

When we see our dreams daily, we start making subconscious decisions to bring them to life.

Success Stories & Personal Examples

Oprah, Jim Carrey, and Steve Harvey have all publicly shared how vision boards helped them.

I’ll share my own experience: How a vision board helped me align my life around my dreams for my family, my business, and my personal growth.

The Difference Between Intention-Setting & Passive Dreaming

A vision board is not magic—it won’t work if you don’t put in the action.

The key is pairing visualization with action steps.

Think of it like planting seeds: You still have to water them!

Preparing for Your Vision Board

Setting Intentions: Clarity Before Creativity

Before we jump into creating, we need clarity.

Take a few minutes to reflect on these questions:

What are my top 3-5 life goals for this year?

How do I want to feel in my daily life? (Successful, peaceful, strong, joyful?)

What kind of legacy do I want to build?

What are some dreams I’ve been afraid to speak out loud?

Gathering Materials

Physical Vision Board: Poster board, scissors, glue, magazines, printouts, affirmations, and personal photos.

Digital Vision Board: Canva, Pinterest, or Google Slides (great for keeping your board on your phone).

Other key elements:

Inspirational quotes that align with your mindset shift.

Action words like "Thrive," "Create," or "Build."

Images that evoke emotions tied to your goals.
