What Exactly Is a Manifestation Board?
A manifestation board is a tool to help you get clear on what you really want and embrace the power of positive focus to start taking consistent action.
Manifestation board is also often called a dream board, goal setting vision board, or Law of Attraction vision board.
Do Vision Boards Work?
The short answer is- yes, they do work if you make them work. Creating a vision board with your goals and dreams is very important to have a clear and visual representation of the life you wish to design and then manifest into your reality.
I love vision boards for one simple reason- they help me stay focused and positive.
Whenever I have a bad day, I can quickly shift my way out of the funk and remind myself that the best is yet to come. My vision is too big and too important to quit because of some small obstacles.
As Tony Robbins says: “Your past does not equal your future!”.
Personally, I find this quote very empowering!
That being said, here’s a little science behind vision boards (and other manifestation methods) and the power of positive focus that they give you.
Have you ever wondered why, after hearing about a specific book, concept, word, term, or number, you suddenly start seeing it everywhere?
Perhaps you’ve joined some spiritual communities where everyone talks about seeing repetitive numbers such as 11:11 or 22:22.
And now, you too can see repetitive numbers all around you and become to feel intrigued! Is it magic? Or something else? Personally, I think it’s magic because we are magical, and so are our brains! But there’s also a scientific explanation behind it.
You see what you choose to focus on. You see repetitive numbers because of the big bundle of nerves sitting at the end of your brainstem: the Reticular Activating System (RAS).
The RAS is what makes the Law of Attraction work. And it always works.
It’s totally up to you to choose to wake up and begin to consciously program yourself, designing your life in the way you desire.
Your RAS registers what you focus on and creates filters to display what’s on your mind. In other words, it uses its intelligent algorithms to show you precisely what it thinks you most desire to see.
There is a slight problem, though! While the RAS is good at showing you what it thinks you want to see or what drives your attention, it isn’t great at understanding what you truly want.
It can only determine what you focus on – that’s it. So, ask yourself, what’s on your mind?
What do you feed it with? Do you focus on what you desire?
For example, if your desire is to buy a beautiful home, but you keep focusing on how impossible it is to get a mortgage and that everything is so expensive while salaries are going down, well, guess what your RAS is going to do?
It will quickly figure out, “OK, you are looking for more proof and evidence to see how impossible or even dangerous it is to buy your own house. Let’s do this. Your wish is my command!”
Conclusion? Focus on what you want by using positive manifestation methods such as vision boards.
For example, you can create your own beautiful vision board with your dream house to remind you that with the right focus, belief, and action, everything is possible.
Your RAS will do everything it can to make you more aware of the fantastic house opportunities waiting for you.
What Not to Do When Manifesting with Vision Boards
I think this funny video explains it all!
As I like to put it, attraction needs to be backed up with aligned action.
And the Universe loves action-takers! Thanks to positive, and inspiring manifestation boards, we focus on what we want and stay motivated to take small, consistent steps to reach our goals.
And as we keep moving forward in alignment with our desires, we can even start manifesting miracles, synchronicities as well as people and circumstances that want to help us reach our goals.
As Vadim Zeland, Russian quantum physicist, and writer states in his book: Reality Transurfing:
Desire by itself is useless. It needs to be backed up with intention and action.
Personally, I think that vision boards can help you get clear on your desires (most people don’t even know what they want). Then, they can help you create strong intentions backed up by mindful and aligned action.
Perfect formula to design and create our dream life, right?
Now, let’s take a look at different examples of vision boards.
It’s totally up to you to decide how many vision boards you want to have.
Vision Board Examples
It’s all about combining your creativity with your desires!
You can create a vision board for a specific area of your life, for example:
– weight loss vision board
-business vision board
-career vision board
-family vision board
-couples vision board
-financial vision board
-relationship vision board
-spiritual vision board
-travel vision board
-health vision board
-love vision board
-motivation vision board
-money vision board
Or, you can create a list of your goals and desires. I’d call it your dream life vision board!
Your big vision for the next 5 years, with everything you think, is important to you, and then look for an exciting, visual representation of your desires and create one big manifestation board.
You could also start off with smaller vision boards for different areas of your life you find important or wish to manifest more in and then combine those different vision boards into one.
Some people like to create different manifestation boards.
Personally, I have a mini money manifestation vision board that I carry in my wallet and on my phone.
Then, I have a career vision board (a big one) in my office.
A health and fitness vision board is something I find very inspiring in my kitchen (and it always motivates me to make healthy nutritional choices).
Finally, I’ve also made a beautiful family-dream home-happy moment with people I love vision board for my bedroom.
The most important thing to remember is to have fun with the creative process and do what feels right for you!
How to Create a Manifestation Board Online
There are different ways to go about creating your manifestation board. You can use some old magazines and use pictures that you find inspiring to create a visual representation of your goals, dreams, and desires.
Or, you can also create a digital vision board (personally, I think it’s easier and faster, and you can find many more cool pictures online), and print it out in color later, if you choose.
What I like about digital vision boards is that we can always keep a copy of them on our phones or digital devices.
I don’t know about you, but whenever I have a negative or doubtful thought about something or feel like quitting, my vision boards always do the magic. They help me stay on track. They inspire me to persevere and keep going!
So, definitely, don’t postpone creating your own manifestation board. In fact, you can create one right here, right now, using Canva.com.
How to Make Your Own Canva Vision Board
The first step is to go to Canva.com and create a free account.
Then, click on Create Design.
For the purpose of this manifestation board…let’s say your desire is to create more money and abundance…
Well…you need to ask yourself what living in abundance actually means to you? What makes you excited?
Example: I desire to live in a nice, cozy house that I own, I also enjoy an abundance of free time so that I can travel to exotic locations and enjoy quality time with family and friends.
Go back to Canva, and click on Poster:
Now, it’s time for us to dive deeper to discover what we really want by using beautiful pictures to transform blank canvas into our dream lifestyle!
We want to find as many inspiring pictures as possible and put them on our blank canvas.
Example:
Now, you can do this with any area of your life to stay inspired and motivated to improve it.
And now, the biggest secret to making it all happen- aligned and consistent action.
Revise your vision boards as often as you can, and keep asking yourself: what can I do today to get closer to my goals?
For example, you may discover a new side hustle or passive income idea, or perhaps a new career or business opportunity. Or maybe you get a hunch to join a new community or learn something new…and before you know it, you are on a new path that leads to your new, abundant life.
This is where the Law of Attraction meets the Law of Action, and this is where true miracles happen😊
So…whenever you get a new idea, test it or learn more about it, because, more often than not it’s your RAS guiding you toward manifesting something new, something you’ve always wanted!
You may also back up your vision boards by other manifestation methods such as scripting or visualizing.
