I’ve created digital vision boards the past three years, and set them as my desktop background for the entire year. Each one has centered around my “word” for the year– which have been “bliss,” “nurture,” and “bloom.” I swear that picking out specific, actionable photos that represent your goals, and then looking at them every single day, can yield incredible results in making your dreams come true.

A crazy example is that for my 2025 vision board I included a lot of photos of babies, since my major goal was to get pregnant that year. What I didn’t realize is that I accidentally only chose photos of baby girls for my vision board, which I think accidentally manifested baby girl Molly. 😂

Anyways, at the very least this is a fun (and hopefully relaxing!) practice to get in the right mindset for the year. And at the most, it’s a powerful tool to achieve the exact goals you’re dreaming of. Here are the steps I take in creating mine each year– deviate however you’d like and make it your own!

1. Decide on your word for the year (I do this with my Christian life coach or small group!). You can also use this for a specific period of time too (it doesn’t always have to be a full year– say you want to accomplish something in six months, then make this for that time period!).
2. Define and write out your goals for the year: I have done this in the past by both theme (three specific goals under each of these categories: Personal/Self, Business, Family/Friends, and Faith) and by quarter of the year (three specific goals under Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4).  
3. Dream about and pray on the aesthetic and colors you want the year to reflect: is the year bold with bright colors, softer with pastels, simplified with neutrals, full of definitive decisions with black and whites, etc. 
4. Go on Pinterest or Instagram and start saving photos that represent your goals. The more specific the better!! Vague goals and ideas are harder to achieve. Search for really specific pictures of things. 
5. Upload those photos to Canva and play around with them to make a collage that portrays all of the visual goals and dreams that you’re trying to manifest. 
6. Set this collage as your computer backdrop, phone background, and print it out and put it in your closet, inside your bathroom vanity door, etc. 
7. Try to lay eyes on it every single day, and review the goals that align with the vision board weekly. 

*Bonus Points: Speak your goals and dreams aloud to yourself in the mirror every day. It feels crazy to do but yields insane results 🙌🏻  And most important of all: pray over them and ask God to lead you to the goals and dreams that He has in store, since His plan is always so abundantly greater than ours.
