Can vision boards actually help impact your quest to achieve your dream goals?

A vision board can be displayed prominently in a designated sacred space, or a mini version of it can be carried in your journal. And every time you see your vision board, you’re actually doing short visualizations about your goals, helping attract the things you want in your life.
In this post, we will learn more about vision boards and cover 25 great vision board templates you can use to create your own vision board.

The Three Categories of Vision Boards
Vision boards fall into three common categories:
Stability (such as achieving financial success, working in your dream job, owning real estate properties, owning businesses, becoming more independent, etc.)
Social relationships (such as family relationships, friendships, business connections, acquaintances, community life, etc.)
Personal (such as health and fitness, your personal journey to self-awareness, well-being, the pursuit of happiness, personal development, etc.)
Most people invest a number of hours (or days) to create physical vision boards. After they’ve mapped out their goals, they use magazine cutouts, printables, and stickers to create a collage representing their hopes, dreams, and goals. Often they use corkboards or thick cardstock to serve as the base for their vision boards. These boards are highly personal and meaningful for their creators. (Want to get started on one? Use this checklist to make sure you have all the vision board supplies you'll need.)
The Advantage of Templates
However, not everyone has the luxury of time to create a vision board from scratch. And others may be hesitant to make a “freeform” type of vision board.
If this is the situation you find yourself in, a template is an alternative yet effective way to create your goal board. All you need to do is fill out a template with appropriate picture cutouts and affirmations that represent your vision.
Today, we’re featuring 25 vision board template ideas that you can use as inspiration for your next dream board. Unless otherwise stated, these templates are downloadable and free from their creators’ websites. They can also serve as examples to spark your own creativity.

The main advantage of using online graphic design platforms such as Canva is the large volume of stock images you can choose from to make your vision boards stand out.

Do you know why vision boards work? They function as a visualization tool. You may have heard that athletes use visualization (also known asimagery) to boost their performance. You can do the same, but your board should contain inspiring quotes as well as pretty images.
The value of vision boards lies in the way they make you feel when you’re looking at the images. Your board should evoke positive emotions within you that are related to the goals you’re trying to achieve.
That’s why you should be the one to create your own vision board. Delegating the task to someone else causes the board to lose its efficacy because feelings are personal and not something that you can delegate or outsource.
