What is a vision board?

A vision board (aka dream board) is a physical representation of the reality you intend to create for yourself.

It’s a visual representation of your goals.

A vision board can be a poster splattered with pictures of all the things you want to bring into your life.

It can also be a Pinterest board, a desktop background, and there are even vision board apps where you can create a vision board on your phone.

But no matter what medium you decide to use, a vision board will be a collage of photographs that represent the life you intend to build.

Adding quotes to your vision board will deliver a little extra inspiration and motivation as you work to make your dreams a reality.
