It’s a new year and a new decade and that means there’s a lot of focus on transformation. New year new you right? I’m all for it! Are you looking to make big changes in your life? If so, vision boards could be just the tool you need.
Since we’re at the beginning of a new year I thought it would be a great time to focus on my goals. We’ll be talking a lot about vision boards and goal setting this month and I hope you join along with me in the process!
Transforming any area of your life isn’t always easy. Although you may start out with high levels of motivation, it’s easy to lose it along the way. Vision boards help you to keep sight of your goals, increasing your chances of achieving them.
Let me show you just 5 ways vision boards can help you to transform into the new you.

Helping you to stay focused
In order to achieve any goal in your life, you need to be able to stay focused. The more focused you are on achieving something, the more likely it is you’ll reach it. Vision boards can really help you to stay focused on the goals you’ve set.
So many people don’t realize the true potential they have inside themselves. When you start to adjust your focus onto achieving a personal goal, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can achieve it. Absolutely nothing will stop you if you stay focused.
A useful tip is to focus on just one goal at a time. This will allow you to use up all your focus on achieving that one thing. This is so much more beneficial and effective than focusing on several things at the same time.
Keeping you motivated
Motivation is a very important component to transforming any area of your life. Without it, you’re more likely to fail than you are to succeed.
Vision boards can really help to boost your motivation as well as your focus. As you look at the board each day, it will remind you why you are making changes. Provided you’ve used the right images and materials, it will inspire you to carry on, even when it’s difficult.
Helping you to believe your dreams are possible
A lot of times, one of the main things which holds us back in life is self-doubt. For example, you may want to lose weight, but you haven’t been successful. So, you start to believe subconsciously that it’s a goal you’ll never achieve.
When you create a vision board, it helps you to develop an emotional connection to your dreams. You’ll start to believe the changes you want to make are possible. This makes a huge difference to the likelihood of success.
Use vision boards to transform all areas of life
The most common vision boards are those which focus on major life goals. But did you know you can use them to transform all areas of your life?
Perhaps you’re looking to quit smoking, or keep a tidy home, or you simply want to get healthier. Whatever personal transformation goals you have, a vision board can help you to achieve them.
The goals don’t have to be huge. Whatever you need help to change, a vision board will help to give you the focus, motivation and commitment to succeed.
Easily monitor your progress
It’s impossible to make changes without monitoring your progress. In order to stay focused and motivated, you’re going to need to see continuous progress. If you don’t, it’s going to demotivate you and potentially cause you to give up on your goals.
As well as looking at the vision board every day, you should keep a journal to keep track of your progress. Commit to writing down the steps you’ve taken to achieve your goal and the progress you’ve made so far.
The Bible says to write the vision and make it plain. There is something so powerful about putting pen to paper and writing out what you want to achieve. Go one step further and write it down as if it’s already yours.
These are just some of the ways creating and using vision boards can help you to transform your life. Whether you’re looking to quit smoking, lose weight, gain more financial freedom or simply get healthier, a vision board can increase your chances of success.
Are you excited to create your vision board? I hope so! And I hope you can see how using a vision board can really help to transform your life! I’m still gathering my thoughts to hone in on what I want to manifest this year so that I can both write out my vision and create my vision board.
I appreciate the sincerity of this write-up of yours. Can’t wait to see more!
