6 Vision Board Themes for the Life You Want to Create

A vision board is a powerful tool for inspiration, aspiration, and encouragement. Whether you’re planning toward a specific goal in your life, or simply trying to set a positive mood for your day, a vision board is a visual way to gather bits and pieces that speak to what’s inside your heart. From photographs and quotes to patterned papers, textiles, letters, and more, there are few limitations and no rules when it comes to curating a board that speaks to you. We explore these options, and provide hundreds of photos and elements for your own board, in our new publication, Vision Boards: A Beautiful Life Imagined. Once you’ve picked up your copy of the premier issue, consider the following themes when putting together your very own vision board.

1. Adventure

From traveling afar to exploring your hometown, there are many ways to go on an adventure. Use photos of specific locales, pieces of map, trail passes, or even old trip tickets to plan your next excursion or commemorate one from the past.

2. Family & Friends

Personal photos are a great way to express gratitude for your loved ones, but an impactful magazine clipping may be the perfect reminder to make new friends. Or, perhaps you’re hoping to one day start a family; a scrap of fabric from your own baby clothes would make a great addition to symbolize your future.

3. Career

Is there a dream career you didn’t pursue or perhaps one you may pivot to in the future? Are you hoping for a promotion soon? Cut out motivational quotes that help you envision success, as well photos that capture the essence of the career you want.

4. Creativity

We all have the ability to be creative, but it can be hard to find the time. Collect project photos for your crafting to-do list, hang paint swatches for a future remodel, or pin up fabric scraps that capture an inspiring pattern or palette.

5. Mindfulness

What causes you to slow down, breathe deeply, and find calm within our busy world? Gather pieces that represent the things that bring you peace: photos of serene locations, dried flower stems, sheet music, or even a scrap from an old favorite blanket you had to throw away.

6. Wellness

What does wellness mean to you? Is it getting into shape, addressing your anxiety, or infusing more fun into your life? Think about the steps needed to achieve your personal vision of wellness, and incorporate visual symbols of how to achieve your goal.
