21 Days of Hygge: 5 Ways to Create a Vision Board that Works

During this 21-days of hygge extravaganza, I have offered you an opportunity to get cozy with both daydreams and wishes here, and then, a chance to uncover hidden wishes. But now, it's time to go big or go home! And then, you can take all of these wishes and turn them into intentions you place on a vision board...

Hot Chocolate & a Visualization Exercise

So for this particular hot chocolate moment, I thought we could try to get a little wild with our wishing. I encourage you to start to dream big. Sip and imagine the biggest wish you could manifest. Daydream up to the sky and beyond.

The thing about wishing (or intention-setting) is that you want to be as relaxed as possible and be able to really enjoy the experience. Well, the hot chocolate will help with that, right?

As I have suggested before, give yourself time to imagine your wishes coming true.

Today, try listening to yourself tell the story to someone else about how each wish came true. Of course, the real person you are telling it to is yourself, but pretend it's someone you have just met, who hasn't heard the story.

As you sip, you can continue this visualization, or daydream, until you are finished with your hot chocolate. Or, if you think you might need more time, make a pot of tea. ;)

5 Ways to Create a Vision Board for Your Wishes

"What’s the big secret to creating a vision board that works? It’s simple: Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to include the material stuff, too. However, the more your board focuses on how you want to feel, the more it will come to life." -Elizabeth Rider, Huffington Post

Once you feel complete with your visualization, have made your wish stories as believable as possible, and have connected to the way you want to feel as they come true, you are ready to solidify them as intentions, by making a vision board.

Here are 5 ways to make one based on your wishes...

(1) Create a vision board using your journal pages. You can draw or paint pictures of what you're wishing for, adding words or stickers or anything else you need.

(2) Create a vision board using magazines & cardboard paper & frame it. This is the kind of vision board I used to make regularly, but never thought to frame. Framing it would give it honor & you can give it a home in a place where you are likely to pass by it often.

(3) Create a vision board scrapbook. You could create visual scenes of memories you want to make in the future. It could potentially become a treasure you open frequently to remind yourself of those intentions.

(4) Create a digital vision board using Pinterest. I did this on New Year's Day. But I didn't like having my vision board in cyberspace where I can only connect if I am near a device. I'd rather have something physical or something I could print that would then become physical. How about you?

(5) Create a digital vision board using Canva. See the video below for instructions. One thing you could do after creating a Canva vision board is print it and then frame it so you have it physically in your presence.

Which of these vision board methods appeals to you most?

And what will your daydreams & wishes vision board help you create?
