Benefits of Using a Vision Board for Goal Setting
A vision board is a visual representation of your goals, dreams, and aspirations. It's a powerful tool to help you clarify what you want and visualize your future. When you create a vision board, you can see your goals in a tangible, visual way—and that can be incredibly motivating.
When you look at your vision board daily, you're reminded of what you're working towards. This helps you stay focused and motivated, even when you encounter obstacles or setbacks.
A vision board is a perfect solution to overcome content inconsistencies—or any other struggle you're trying to work through in your business.
That's why I create a monthly vision board on Canva for my desktop computer. Everything I'm working towards, along with a visual reminder of why I'm working to achieve it, is right there in front of me.
Just in Case You're Unfamiliar With Canva, Here Are the Basics
Canva is a free online graphic design tool that makes it easy to create stunning visual content. With Canva, you can create everything from social media graphics to presentations to vision boards. Here's what you need to know to get started:
1. Create an account
To use Canva, you'll need to create an account. You can sign up for free using your email address, Facebook, or Google account.
2. Choose a template
Once you've created an account, you can choose a template to get started. Canva has tons of templates to choose from. To create a vision board for your desktop, type “vision board desktop wallpaper” in the search bar.
3. Customize your design
After you've chosen a template, you can customize it by adding images, text, and other elements. I create a new one each month with my current goals and projects. Yes, once upon a time, I had the goal of creating consistent content for my blog—and this helped me do it.
4. Save and download your design
Once you've finished designing your vision board, download the image and set it as your desktop wallpaper. You'll see it all the time! That's why I love having it on my desktop—it keeps me motivated and focused on my goals.
Tips for How to Create a Vision Board on Canva
Now that you understand the basics of Canva, let's get into some tips and tricks for designing an effective vision board.
1. Choose the right images and fonts for your vision board
When you're designing your vision board, choose images and fonts that resonate with you. You want your vision board to reflect your unique personality and style, so don't be afraid to choose images and fonts that speak to you. Personally, I use my brand fonts and colors because I love them.
2. Add the current month's calendar
While you don't have to do this, I like to include a calendar of the current month. That way, I know this is the one thing I'm working toward that month.
If it's a quarterly goal, add all three months and keep it until you achieve it.
The easiest way to do this is to search for the current month and year in the design sidebar. Find a calendar you like and add it as a separate page. Then group the calendar elements together (you may need to delete the background design elements to do this successfully).
3. Add motivational quotes and affirmations
In addition to images and fonts, you can add motivational quotes and affirmations to your vision board. These can be powerful reminders of what you're working towards and help keep you motivated and focused.
4. Organize your vision board for maximum impact
When designing your vision board, think about how you want to organize it. I usually choose a template that speaks to me and go with it. But you do you—arrange everything in a way that feels visually appealing to you.
