What Does a Vision Board Look Like?

In simple words, vision board is a visual representation of your dreams and desires; images, words, symbols, etc., collected together in an inspirational and creative way. It can convey what you need to make happen in different areas of life; such as career, health, relationships, or personal growth.

The vision boards come in many formats physical or digital and are tailor made for your goals and personality. This article will cover what a vision board is, how it looks, plus examples to get you inspired.

Elements of a Vision Board

A vision board typically includes:

1. Images:
Pictures that mark out the parameters of where you want your life to be. For example:

• A picture of a dream vacation spot.
• A picture of the house you want to live in.
• Images of what it is supposed to look like – running or healthy food.

2. Words and Quotes:
Also motivational phrases, affirmations or just any form of specific goal statements that keep them going. For instance:

• “Believe in yourself.”
• “This year I am going to save $10,000.”
• “Healthy mind, healthy body.”

3. Symbols:
This is who they are: icons or abstract symbols of your desires. For example:

• You need a heart for love.
• A growth or sustainability tree.
• Financial goals: a dollar sign.

4. Categories:
Many vision boards are organized by life areas, such as:

• Career: A promotion, start a business.
• Health: Lose weight, run a marathon.
• Finance: Except for a house, pay off debt.
• Lifestyle: Travel, learn a new hobby.

5. Personal Touches:
The board is made more meaningful by adding your handwritten notes, photos of loved ones or other personal items.

Types of Vision Boards

1. Physical Vision Boards

A physical vision board is hands on project done using a poster board, cork board or any surface where you can attach pictures and words.

How it looks:

• It’s a collage of cutouts of magazines and printed photos, and stickies.

Imagine a corkboard divided into sections: and travel pictures in one area, fitness goals in another and inspiring quotes about career success in another.

Split the board into Career, Health, Finance, etc.
