Allira Potter shares how to use a vision board to think about your future

Hello, everyone! My name is Alira Potter. My pronouns are she and they, and I’m a proud Yoda woman.

In this video, I’m going to be taking you through how to create your own vision board. A vision board is something that I love to create when I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed with where I’m at in life. So, I’m excited to take you folks through it all!

A vision board can be whatever you want it to be. It can be done on a piece of paper, which I will show you, or you can do it on your iPhone. Essentially, a vision board is something that you are visualizing to do with your life, whether that’s next week, next month, or in a couple of years. It’s sort of like a little bit of a motivational tool for you.

This is what a vision board looks like. Like I said, it’s a big piece of paper with words and pictures to help inspire you for the future.

Now, this is the fun bit! I’m going to take you through the things that you will need to create your vision board, and also, I’m going to take you through how I started creating mine.

I like to use things like old magazines to cut out. You’ll also need some scissors, some textures, and some glue. If you don’t have any of that, do not stress! You can always use the notepad feature on your iPhone.

When I’m creating my vision board, I like to set up my space, light candles, have music playing, and just make it my own.

As you can see, I’ve started my vision board. I’m putting certain words on there that inspire me for whatever is happening in my life. For example, it could be a career goal that I’m working toward. Or, for instance, I’m potentially wanting to move, so I’m putting pictures of houses and families on there—all things that resonate with me.

This is my vision board. You can see it’s sort of half-done, so I can come back to it whenever I like. There’s no rush!

I like to put the vision board somewhere I see it as soon as I walk into the house. For example, this is the front of my home. As soon as I walk in, it’s there. It’s staring at me, inspiring me, exciting me, and getting me ready for whatever is coming my way.

That is how you create a vision board. Remember, it is yours. There is no right or wrong way to do it. You can put absolutely anything on there that’s going to inspire you for that next chapter in your life—which is really, really cool!
