The Pros and Cons of Vision Boards

Have you created your vision board for 2022?

Vision boards are a way of bringing what you want for the new year into your life. Vision boards can be created digitally or physically. You can pull pictures from various sources such as magazines or websites to get a clear focus on what you want to bring into your life.

Vision boards for me have been a way of narrowing down on what I truly want to manifest in my life for that year. It’s truly a fun and creative process. I’ve been creating a vision board since 2013, and there are a few pros and cons that I’ve discovered along the way.

The Pros

• It makes you think about your intentions of whatever goal you are trying to set.

• Builds your creativity.

• Provides you with external motivation, but remember self-discipline sustains that motivation.

• Gives you space to think about where you want your life to be.

• Push past your limiting beliefs - sometimes fear can cause us to hold back from want we truly want, vision boards allow you to dream big.

The Cons

• Fantasizing but taking no action to achieve your goals.

• Putting pictures or images you truly do not want can be counter-productive and hinder any goals you’re actually trying to achieve.

Some articles may tell you that vision boards are a waste of time but do what’s best for you. If you struggle to write down your goals, having a visual of your goals may support you take action to achieve them.
