Ever caught yourself daydreaming about the soft life, dream job, ideal relationship, or financial freedom? You’re not alone, sis. One powerful way to bring those dreams closer to reality is by creating a vision board—a personal collage that serves as a daily reminder of what you’re working towards. And no, it’s not just for aesthetics or Pinterest vibes. Vision boards are legit tools for manifestation.
Let’s break down how to create your own vision board and actually use it to manifest the life you want—Naija style.
What is a Vision Board?
A vision board is a visual representation of your dreams and goals. It’s like a goal-setting diary but in picture form. You can use images, quotes, affirmations, and anything else that inspires you.
The whole idea is to keep your dreams in front of you—literally. When you see them every day, your brain starts to focus on them, and that’s how manifestation kicks in. Trust me, it’s giving “I see it, I want it, I get it.”
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Vision Board
1. Reflect on Your Goals
Before you cut out pictures or start scrolling Pinterest, take some time to write down your goals. Ask yourself:
- What do I want to achieve this year?
- What kind of person do I want to become?
- What areas of my life need more attention?
Think about your career, relationships, health, spiritual growth, and finances.
2. Gather Your Supplies
You can go digital or physical. Both work!
For a physical board, you’ll need:
- Poster board or cardboard
- Old magazines or printed images
- Glue, scissors, tape
- Markers, stickers, washi tape
For a digital board:
- Canva (free and super easy)
- Instagram for moodboards
You can also explore apps like Visuapp or DreamItAlive.
3. Choose Inspiring Images and Words
Look for:
- Pictures that spark joy and motivation
- Powerful quotes
- Affirmations like “I am worthy of success,” “My dreams are valid,” or “Soft life loading…”
Be specific. If you want to travel to Dubai, include a photo of the Burj Khalifa. Want to buy land in Lekki? Find an image of it. Manifest with intention.
4. Assemble Your Board
There’s no “perfect” layout. Follow your instinct and arrange things in a way that feels right to you. You can divide your board into sections like:
- Love & Relationships
- Career & Business
- Health & Wellness
- Finance
- Travel
- Spirituality
Decorate it. Make it beautiful. It’s your dream life, babe!
5. Place It Where You’ll See It Daily
Put your board somewhere you can see it every day—beside your bed, on your wardrobe, or as your phone/computer wallpaper.
How to Use Your Vision Board to Manifest
Creating it is just half the work. Here’s how to bring the vision to life:
1. Practice Visualization
Spend 5–10 minutes daily looking at your board. Imagine how it feels to live that life—hear it, smell it, see it. Visualization helps program your subconscious mind.
2. Take Inspired Action
Vision without work = wishful thinking. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, start learning. Register that CAC. Post that first product on Instagram. The universe helps those who help themselves!
3. Speak Life
Say affirmations out loud:
- “Money flows to me effortlessly.”
- “My dream job is mine.”
- “I attract good vibes and real love.”
Your words shape your reality, especially when backed with belief.
4. Stay Consistent
Rome wasn’t built in a day, my love. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t happen immediately. Keep believing, keep working, and keep showing up.
