A vision board, or some like to think of it as a dream board, is a powerful tool you create that gives you a physical representation of your dreams and goals.

So whenever you’re feeling discouraged, you can look at your vision board and be reminded of what you’re working towards.

A vision board can include images, quotes, affirmations and other visual reminders of what you are willing into your life.

You can create different themed vision boards or have one master vision board. The key is to look at your vision board regularly so it’s important to be able to access and see regularly.
