It’s 2016! How did you spend your New Year’s Eve? The kids and I hung out at home and I worked on creating my goals for 2016.
I am super excited for 2016. I know it’s going to be a great year all around! To help keep me focused and committed to a great year, I updated my vision board.
I HIGHLY recommend a vision board for everyone and they are so much fun to make! I made one about 6 months before Amelia was born and hung it right by my bed side. After almost 2 years, I have new goals, so I wanted to update.
It’s pretty simple creating a vision board. You can use a bulletin board, poster board, etc. Check out Pinterest for some awesome ideas here!
1. Grab magazines that inspire you!
Everyone’s inspirational magazines differ. It depends on what your goals are and what you like. If you want to focus on remodeling your home, you may have a bunch of DIY magazines. If you want to focus on health, you may have fitness and health magazines. So, the first step is to gather the magazines you want to use, to create your vision board.
2. Grab some scissors, wine and start cutting!
This is my favorite part, because there is no right or wrong way. You can dream as big as you want. If you want to travel to Europe this year, cut that picture out of Europe and put it on your board! The more you look at it, the more you will focus on how to achieve that goal!
3. Place cut outs on your board.
I like to use a bulletin board, because I can change it up in the future. Your visions do change over time, because you accomplish these goals, so you create more. Using a bulletin board and push pins allows you to change things easily. Organize how you want all of your cut-outs to lay on your board. Do you want sections that focus on each topic? Do you want your most important visions on top?
4. Hang your vision board.
You want to hang your board some place where you see it EVERY DAY. The more you see this board, the more you are reminded what your goals and visions are for yourself. Mine is hanging right beside my bed. Every morning, I wake up and it’s the first thing I see. Every night, before I go to bed, it’s the last thing I see.
What goals do you want to focus on this year?!
We have done vision boards and love making them. So many different ones, from food to fitness, to things we like. A few years ago, I did a vision board birthday party for our daughter. I had all the supplies for the girls and they spent the day making their own. It was so cool.

I have sort of tried this with some teenage girls. Maybe I need to do this instead.

Just made my vision board last week! It is a GREAT way to get your goals in front of you on a daily basis!
I do these with our kids every year! It is always interesting to see what they come up with as there focus for the coming year:)
I’ve made 3 vision boards in the last 3 years. I had to put together a new vision board late last year because everything on the board had come true. 🙂

I think vision boards are fantastic for motivating you to achieve goals. I did a business one online just using Word.
love this idea, helps you keep in mind your goal as well as helps inspire you
I’ve never made a vision board but it looks great. I guess I have to figure out my goals first. For now my goal is for my son to let me sleep more than 4 hours a night, then I can extend my goals!
You should come link up at our Bloggers Spotlight party, we pin everything to our group board and have two separate link-ups, one for posts and one devoted to pins so you get even more exposure!

I really do need a vision board, but I’ve never created one yet.

“A decoration that’ll give you inspiration.” Aside from the fat-fun making one, It’ll surely be a motivation for the year goals.
