Replay Recap:
* How would you describe this season of your life in just one word or phrase?
* What if a vision board didn’t lock you into anything, but morphed to support your personal or professional growth?
* What if the thing you thought you wanted is already happening… just not in the way you expected?
To get an idea of how we run our Vision Board Workshops, here’s a summary of our last recorded session from the first quarter of 2025!
Before getting into vision boards, we checked in with each other by sharing how the first quarter of the year had felt, using just a word or short phrase. Then, we acknowledged where everyone was in their vision boards, from detailed boards to bullet-point lists to people who had never created one before.
In short, there is no “right” way to make a vision board.
Whether some of us were starting or already had vision boards, we began reflecting on accomplishments, challenges, insights gained, and what may have held us back over the last 3 to 12 months. We rated different areas of life, such as family, community, relationships, career, finances, health, spirituality, fun, and personal development.
We also reflected on the following:
* What do I want to leave behind as I enter the new year?
* Who am I doing this for?
* What would count as evidence that I showed up in a meaningful way this next year?
We discussed different vision board formats: physical boards, digital boards, lists, mind maps, and evolving drafts. One consistent reminder was that:
A vision board is not permanent. Images can be replaced. Goals can change. Wanting something at one point doesn’t mean you’re obligated to want it forever.
Common themes emerged in our discussion:
* Letting goals be flexible instead of fixed
* Finding ways to make growth feel lighter, playful, and less intimidating
* Wanting less time on social media and more intentional connections
* Using creativity, movement, learning, and community as motivation and accountability
* Recognizing that progress doesn’t always look dramatic
The workshop closed with some of us excited to share our vision boards.
Overall, we concluded that:
Vision boarding is less about perfect steps and outcomes and more about noticing patterns, honoring where you are, and giving yourself permission to adjust as you go!
