This past weekend at our Happy Black Woman Retreat in DC, we had a fun vision board party where we cut up magazines and got creative with putting our life goals into picture form. One of the best moments for me was getting to see everyone’s completed vision boards hung up on the wall at the end of the first day!
Have you ever heard of vision boards?
A vision board is a powerful visualization tool that you can use as inspiration for your journey toward your ideal life. Some people refer to it as a “dream board” or an “inspiration board.” No matter what you call it, it’s basically a collage of pictures, words and quotes that serve to remind you of your passion and purpose.
As an example, below is a photo of MY new vision board that I created along with the group at our HBW retreat. (Can you guess what the images on my board represent?)
As you can see, you don’t have to be an artist to make a vision board! All you need are a few basic supplies and instructions to get started.
