If you are down for success, take the first step in 2021 by creating an epic vision board with these magnetic vision board ideas.
Before we spill all of the juicy manifestation tea, let’s cover the basics of what a vision board is, how it works, and what you should put on your dream board.
What is a vision board and how does it work?
A vision board is a collage of images and words that represent your goals and aspirations in life. The law of manifestation states that the thoughts one focuses and invests the most energy into will appear in their reality. A vision board helps to externalize these desires, which makes it easier to enter into the vibration or emotional frequency of one's dream life. This is where the woo woo magic begins to happen.
Vision Board vs. Dream Board
A dream board is a long term visual layout of the life you wish to live. On the other hand, a vision board is the visual inspiration for short term goals that help you to reach the long term vision. (Heads up: These words will be used interchangeably throughout this blog post).
