Create your vision board
There are many ways to create a vision board and the best way is for you to get creative and come up with your own ideas about how you want it to look and where you want to display it. It’s a good idea to place it somewhere where you will see it every day, for example on the fridge, framed on the wall, as your computer home screen or mobile phone display screen, or whatever else you can think of.
If you want to create one the old-fashioned way, go through old magazines or brochures (real estate brochures are great for house images) and cut out any images, words or symbols that really appeal to you. You can print images from the internet or use photos – whatever you can get your hands on really.
Another way to create a vision board, is to save or pin images from Pinterest and create a separate board for your dream life. Alternatively, you can save the images and create your own collage in a program like Photoshop or an app like Canva. Again, there is no limit to what you can create or how you create it – let those juices flow and see what you can come up with.
You don’t want to overload your vision board though, your subconscious mind won’t be able to process and manifest too many things all at once but there is no strict limit on what works best. Personally, I have found that around 8 to 12 images are a good number of things to have on a vision board, especially if you’re using a mobile phone or small device as your display screen.
The images you choose don’t have to all be big-ticket items like your dream house, or dream car, they can also include smaller items like a pair of shoes you’ve had your eye on for ages, or even a symbol of a potential future relationship like an engagement ring. Again, there is no limit to what you can have on your vision board – it’s your life and your heart and soul, so dive deep and get creative.

ADDITIONAL TOOLS TO CREATE YOUR DREAM LIFE
As mentioned before, don’t expect your dream life to magically pop into your lap after you’ve created your vision board. It’s just one of the many tools that you can use to assist you in creating your dream life. It is an important part of the process though, because if you don’t clearly identify what it is you want, how is the universe supposed to deliver your desires to you?
It’s a useful way for you to get serious with yourself about exactly what it is you want, then showing the universe (and your subconscious mind) exactly what that looks like. A good way to look at it is that you have set your intentions of what you want and now it’s up to the universe to deliver that or something better.
Intention setting is another important tool that assists you to turn those dreams into reality. It’s a good idea to regularly sit down and create intentions and do some goal setting, to get clear on exactly what it is you want to attract into your life. You can do this yearly for big goals, then break it down to monthly or even weekly for smaller goals. Some people follow the moon cycles and set new intentions for the month with each new moon. It’s really up to you to set your intentions when it feels right for you, the important thing is that you actually do set intentions. Again, the universe can’t deliver the goods if you haven’t made it clear on exactly what it is you want.
Another great tool to assist turn those dreams into reality is to use affirmations. Your subconscious mind LOVES repetition, so regularly stating affirmations either out loud or silently in your mind, is a great way to manifest your desires in the physical form.
The absolute best tool to reprogram your subconscious mind is through meditation and hypnosis. These are powerful tools that really do work and are quite essential if you have a lot of limiting beliefs or old programming that is preventing your dream life from manifesting. All creations in the physical form, first begins in the mind. If you don’t believe that you can actually live in that dream house overlooking the ocean, then it’s probably not going to happen. Your subconscious mind needs to believe that it is actually possible AND that you are worthy of having it. Both of these are critical for you to receive what it is you desire in life.
