Let me tell you all about the magic of vision boards! They're a seriously powerful tool for manifesting your goals, dreams and desires, and they work with the science of your brain in the most amazing way - yep, vision boards are a SCIENCE! Not just a spiritual, nice to have, pretty collage of magazine clippings. 

So, here's the thing: when you create a vision board, you're essentially creating a visual representation of everything you want in life. By doing that, you're sending a clear message to the universe that you're ready to receive it all. It's like placing an order with the universe or adding all of your deepest desires to your Amazon cart! 

But here's where things get really interesting. The secret of vision boards lies in the reticular activating system (RAS) in our brain. The RAS is a network of neurons that filters information and prioritises what we pay attention to. By creating a visual representation of our goals and dreams, we are programming our RAS to focus on these desires, making it more likely for us to notice opportunities and take action towards achieving them. This means that by creating a vision board, you can not only connect with your goals on a deeper level, but you can keep them in the forefront of your mind, whilst working with your RAS to manifest your dream life faster. 

Creating a vision board is easy and fun. You can use images, words, and phrases that resonate with you and represent your goals. Some people recommend using magazine cuttings but personally I don’t have a pile of magazines hanging around and I also don’t have the patience to look through them and chop them up - if you do, that’s totally fine! But I much prefer using online apps and programmes like Canva and Pinterest. The key is though, there is no set rule for vision boards, whatever works for you is what will work, so use this blog and podcast as guidance, and then trust your own intuition. 

On your vision board, you might want to include money, business goals, your dream home, your dream car, a specific goal, a specific person, love - whatever it is you want to attract and manifest into your life. 

As I said, you can use images for your board as well as words. If you want to create a vision board without pictures - that’s fine! Whatever works best for you. 

Now, some people prefer to keep their vision boards hidden, but I would always recommend that you place it in a prominent place where you'll see it often - like your bedroom or office. I personally don’t meditate or visualise with mine, I just use it to signal to my RAS what’s important and sometimes I will take a moment to look over at it and remind myself that I deserve ALL of it and more! I also have my vision board scaled down and saved as my phone wallpaper so that I can see it every day. If you want to, you can take a few minutes each day to do a visualisation meditation of yourself having already achieved your goals while looking at your vision board. 

Vision boards plus the power of your mind are a powerful combination and I am so passionate that every single person who is trying to manifest their dream life should have one. When we focus our attention on what we want, we begin to attract more of it into our lives. This is the Law of Attraction in action. By using a vision board, we are harnessing the power of visualisation and intention setting to manifest our desires.

I'm telling you, vision boards are the real deal. They're the ultimate tool for manifesting your desires, and you'll be amazed at how quickly things start to happen once you start using one. Manifesting without a vision board is possible, but using a vision board allows your reticular activating system to understand what is important in your life and I am certain that it speeds up the entire manifestation process. 

This podcast will leave you with so many ideas to support your vision board creation, so what are you waiting for? Host your own personal vision board party for yourself and watch the universe work its magic!

Hello everyone, welcome back to the podcast. Today we are going to talk all things vision boards. I love vision boards so much and they are so so helpful for everybody. And what I love about vision boards is that there's actually a bit of a science behind it as to why they work and of course, it's all to do with your mind. So let's start with that. Then why do vision boards work? I think so many people think that vision boards are just a really nice thing to have. it's really nice to just see all your visions and your goals like laid out in visual form, but it's so much deeper than that. It was so much deeper. Let me tell you. So within your brain, you have something called a reticular activating system, and it's called an R A s for short. So that is what I'm going to refer to it as in this podcast are a reticular activating system. And this is the part of your brain that essentially acts as a filter. Now really think about it every single day of your life. You are seeing hundreds of 1000s things a day. So many things that cannot process all of that information like it would literally blow your mind if you could process absolutely everything that you were seeing or you're able to see every day you just can't. So that is why you have a filter. It essentially only allows through specific things. So in other words, your RAS filter will only show you what you trained it to believe is important to you. So it won't just allowed through information that it thinks is irrelevant to you. So for example, if you decide one day that you want a certain car, it is very likely from that day onwards that you will start seeing that car wherever you go. And this isn't because you are manifesting that car. It's actually just because you've signalled to your RAS that this car is important to you. So that particular car would have always been there. You just may not have actually noticed it, it wouldn't have made it through your filter. But now because you've decided that you like this specific car, you've essentially sent a signal to your filter that this car is important. Therefore, it needs to allow that information through so the car was always there. It's just that you probably didn't see it. And now you're seeing it everywhere you go. So it's super, super clever. And this is exactly how vision boards work. But I'll tell you what's scary about this, this filter this RAS filter that we have in our brains because it actually means that there could be opportunities all around you that take you to where you want to be and where you want to go. But if your filter your RAS does not believe it is important to you, you will not see them so that is quite scary, right? This is why it's so so important that you get super clear on your goals on where you want to go in life what you want to achieve what you want to bring into your life where you want to travel. Because then you are your brain these things are important to me look for opportunities, allow the information in whereas if you've ever actually sit and take the time to decide what it is that you want to bring into your life and what's important to you, your brain, your RAS filter will believe it's not important. Therefore it will disregard anything to do with the thing therefore you won't ever see the new opportunity to fresh opportunities that might be slapped bang, in front of your face. So this is how and why vision boards work and this is why vision boards are so amazing. So so powerful, because essentially when you create a vision board you are showing your brain what is important in real life what is important to you. This means your conscious mind and your subconscious mind becomes aware of what you want to see more of the opportunities that are related to these things. And then because of this, you're going to start noticing solutions. You're going to start noticing more information, more opportunities that are relevant to what is on your vision board. What is relevant to your goals, what is relevant to your dreams. Now I'm going to tell you a really quick story. Many of you may already know the story, but I'm here to tell you anyway because this is like my favourite story to tell when it comes to vision boards. So back in 2021 I made my vision board and it's also going to tell you how important it is to listen to your intuition and follow that thing. So I made my vision board and I was thinking okay, what's gonna go on my vision board, holidays, I was putting my dream G Wagen on there as being all the things and at the time I've been following a few people online that lived in Los Angeles. And now I'd never been to America at this point. Never been to Los Angeles Like honestly, it was never even like a dream of mine to go like of course I would have loved to have gone but I'm such a beach girl so any opportunity for a holiday for me I wouldn't be thinking like let's go to Barbados, let's go to the Maldives, that kind of thing. But something in my head low voice this intuitive voice came in and said Hollywood sign. Put the Hollywood sign on your vision board. Don't know what it means. Don't know why, but put it on your vision board because it's important. So I listened to it. I actually listened to that voice. I went on Pinterest got a picture of Hollywood sign didn't know what the hell it meant. stuck it on my vision boards and thought nothing more of it. So my vision board sat there. It just sits in my office. I don't particularly do anything with it. I just like to look at it. You know, whenever I'm at my desk, and you kind of forget about these things like I kind of forgot about the whole Hollywood thing didn't really think any more of it. And at that point, it was the summer of 2021 so I carry on living my life. And then February 2022 comes around and I sign up to work with a business coach. Now this business coach lives in Beverly Hills. I did not sign with this business coach because she lived in Beverly Hills. I also didn't know that I was going to sign with this business coach. Like in January I decided to make that commitment in February I'd kind of signed up and that was that I didn't think any more of it and then April came and my business coach actually said that she was hosting a business retreat, and it was going to take place in Beverly Hills. And at that point I was like holy fuck. This is actually crazy. There is an opening here for me to go to Hollywood. I looked at my vision board and I saw that Hollywood sign and I was like This is amazing. Like this is exactly how vision boards work. This is how manifestation happens. It's effortless. So I may have shed a little tear at that point because I was just so excited. So gobsmacked I mean, I have manifested things for many, many, many years, but really nothing like that. Nothing quite so jaw dropping and powerful and just out of the blue. So anyway, so to my flight I was off to Hollywood. Unbelievable. I completely did not see it coming. And then I thought to myself because at this point, I was like wait, this vision board has been hanging around for so long. I didn't bother redoing it at the start of the year because everything that I still wanted to manifest was on there as nothing has really changed. So I thought I'm just going to see and the way I do my vision boards, which I'm going to talk to you about in a minute is by going on to Pinterest, and then I sent all the pictures to my laptop and I go on like a photo printing website and I order actual prints of my pictures from Pinterest. So I have like proper photos on my vision board. So I knew that my pictures from that vision board that I've done in 2021 were saved on my laptop. So I went on and I was like let's see the date as to when I actually did this. And the date that I had downloaded the picture of the Hollywood sign was the fifth of July 2021. At this point my flights to La were booked. Guess one I was landing in LA Fifth of July 2022. On both bucking lievable you just can't make this stuff up. So exactly one year from the date that I decided that Hollywood was important to me, and that I should go to Hollywood for whatever reason one year later to the actual date. I was going to be landing in Hollywood and it was so effortless. It was so unbelievable and insane and crazy. It is my favourite ever story to tell and actually turns out that Hollywood really was the absolute turning point in my life. So that is why my intuition a year ago my intuition a year before knew that Hollywood was like the place for me it was like my own little internal psychic, telling me to get my ass to Hollywood. Anyway, that is why I love this board and after today I'm hoping that the same thing can happen for you. And I'm sure short short well. So let's look at creating your vision board. And I think the energy that you're putting into your vision board and creating your board is just as important because as we know everything holds an energy everything holds a frequency and we want your vision board to be holding on really really good energy. So make your vision board like make this whole process a real moment for yourself. Get yourself relaxed, put on some music that might be like some frequencies if you like listening to frequencies or it might be a high vibe playlist that you have. I have my high vibe playlists, love it, listen to it every morning, light some candles, put some incense on whatever you want just to make a really nice space for yourself. And then before you create your vision board, I think it's quite nice to create a gratitude list. Okay, acknowledge what you are grateful for in your life before you ask for more. So make sure you do that. Just write a list in your journal everything that you are grateful for. Then I want you to when you finish that write a list of all the things that you actually want to release from the past six months or even 12 months because when we are wanting to manifest new things into our life, we need to have that energetic room there needs to be space. If you are holding on to a load of stuff that is just clogging up your life energetically and physically. Let it go release it write down everything you actually just want to release and let go of so release all documents that you're not forgiven yet release people that maybe again, you haven't forgiven, release situations that have upset you and in this moment it actually might be quite good to write a physical release list of things that you actually might not need any more than just taking up room like old makeup, old hair stuff, clothes, maybe you could sell some clothes on vintage that you just don't wear anymore things that are just clogging up your space. Write it all down. Let it all go. So for your vision board, I personally there is no right or wrong way to do this. Some people will tell you to do a short term vision board some people will tell you to do a one year vision board. I have in the past done a short term and long term vision board which actually ultimately things started manifesting from my long term and my short term and actually, the universe didn't really give a shit whether it was a long term record or a short term vision board because my Hollywood side was on my long term vision board and that came true a lot faster than some of the other stuff. So the timing, and the timeframe for your vision board is going to be up to you. That is going to be your choice. The next step is to actually just write down what do you want to manifest what is your dream life? What do you really, really want? No judgement. No one's going to hate you. No one's going to be upset you no one's going to fall out with you. No one's going to say you're greedy. No one's going to say that you don't deserve it. If everything all judgement all negativity was removed. What would you want? Write it all down. Then you go to Pinterest and you find pictures that represent what it is that you want or how you want your life to look the things you want to achieve. I also like to go on booking.com for example. So if I want to go on holiday so my dream holiday on my vision board right now is to go to the Maldives in the cine Rajani hotel, so I went on booking.com And I went to that specific hotel because I know that's exactly where I want to stay. Try and get as specific as you can. If you can get to get onto that bit later. And if you cannot find a picture that represents what you've learned, let's say you are more into personal development. So like this is quite typical for a number nine life path in numerology that maybe they are a little bit more or less materialistic and more wanting to manifest to be a better person. That is fine. If you can't find a picture to represent something words on your vision board are just as powerful. So I like to go on Canva for the things that I can't find on Pinterest. I'll go on Canva I'll find a nice font and nice colour and I'll write down specific words like health or for me and my business. It was like a set amount of income or set amount of followers like that is what I wrote down in words because obviously it's very hard to find a picture, something like that. So do that. Get everything you want. You can do what I do. And you can order it at spawn like snap fish.com I don't know if snap fish is available, like worldwide but it's definitely a UK thing just a photo printing company. But you can print it off the computer or whatever works for you whatever is easiest. Now remember when you are creating your vision boards, yes, your goals change. What you want can change. I change like the wind as a person but the ultimate goal of my life what I want to create in my life. That rarely changes because actually that's more of like a frequency rather than a specific thing like yeah, I want a lovely house. I would love a lovely apartment, a G Wagen, things like that. But it doesn't have to be the specific house on the vision board. It can just hold the frequency of the kind of house you want and make the pictures aligned to you make it really, really specific to you. If someone else looks at your vision board and the pictures make no sense to them. That is fine. As long as your vision board makes sense to you. You don't have to worry about like the universe getting confused or anything like that with your vision board. No, as long as you can understand you could look at that vision board and you know exactly what it means that is fine. Now if you know your human design, you might know whether you are a nonspecific manifester or a specific manifester. If you don't know your human design, it works off your time of birth, your date of birth, so make sure you know that you can just go on to Google Apps or things like that. So do that if you don't know whether you are a specific or nonspecific manifester, I really like human design. I for 1am, a nonspecific manifester, which basically means if you're a nonspecific manifester, you don't actually need to be specific with your vision board. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in oh my gosh, like I need to be really specific but I don't really know what it was. I don't know what else I want. I don't know like what car I want. I don't know where I want to live yet. That's fine that is fine. You don't have to be so specific. Like I said, it can be a specific frequency that's more likely what it will be for you. If you are a nonspecific manifester. If you are a specific manifester, just do you it's probably likely that you already know exactly what you want. You know where you want to live. You know exactly what house you want. You know exactly what car you want everything. That is fine. Like I said there really is no right or wrong with it. And the key is to not overthink anything. Don't overthink it. Just follow your internal guidance and do what you need to do for your vision boards make it right for you. So let go of the pressure. If you know what car you want. Amazing. If you don't, you can still put a picture of a really nice car on your vision board that symbolises where you want to be. So on my vision board before I decided that I wanted a G Wagen. I just had a matte black, big car. I think it was some kind of Lamborghini. It didn't really know what it was. And I didn't really care but I put it on there because I didn't specifically want that car but I knew I wanted a luxurious matte black car off some description. That car held a frequency for me. And now I've realised I do want a G waggon and that's really what I want. So again, your vision board can hold a frequency. It can hold a specific energy you can have big gorgeous houses on there. You can have a big bond conversion on there. You can have a really modern flat apartment on that it does not matter if you want that specific building if you want that specific house or if you just want a house that kind of got that vibe so you can put as much or as little on your board as you want again that is up to you. Like I said, there is no right or wrong and over time you will learn how to master this when things start manifesting for you. When things start turning up in your life you'll start to see okay, I really like having a vision board that is aesthetically pleasing. It's slightly more minimal, and there's no timeframe on it. Whereas someone else might prefer to have a jam packed vision board super specific. That is for six months, everything they want to achieve in six months. Either way, it does not matter. You're gonna know what's right for you. Now, some people have manifestation books, that's fine. In fact, it's I'm going to create one this evening for myself, but that's to go alongside a vision board Okay, so a manifestation book like a vision board book is great, but I would always suggest having a vision board up like a pinboard where you can see it every single day. Now the book I'm going to create tonight is a kind of a copy of my vision board but it's more of like a tracker so that I picture in my book as to what I want to achieve. Let's say it's that holiday to the Maldives that's going to stay on my vision board and I'm gonna have another picture the same picture in this book. I'm going to put the date on it. And then when I get to that hotel when I get to the Maldives, which I will I will put my own picture on that page. It's kind of like a memory book that's kind of separate but for a vision board. Have it as a pin board somewhere where you can see it mine is in my office. You can put it wherever you want as long as you can see it. Now if you achieve something on your vision board, amazing. You can take that picture down if you feel like right achieved, done it perfect. And then you can put it like I just said in a vision board manifestation book where you actually track everything that's coming in and that would be so lovely to look back on in like 10 years time before I had this book that I'm about to make though. I actually used to put my manifestations in just a little envelope so that I always had them so that I could see what I was manifesting. Again, there's no right or wrong. There's also things on my vision boards that I have manifested I have achieved, but it was a one time thing whereas I actually wanted it to be like a repeat thing. So I've kept that picture on my vision board because I'm holding that frequency that yes, I achieved it but I want it to come into my life again and again and again. So I'm not going to take that pitch down. It's staying there. So when you achieve something on your vision board, think about do I want to achieve this again? Is this like a recurring theme in my life that I want to maintain? If it is keep it on your board? If it's like a one and done achieved, tick off, take it down, put it in a little envelope or you can stick it in this manifestation book that I've kind of briefly covered today. So that is how I would suggest you go and make your vision boards. I would definitely definitely do this. Please make an effort. They are so beyond powerful. Be patient with your vision board if you can, if things are just not manifesting. Let's say you've had the same vision board for like, one year, two years, three years and it's not coming in then there is some kind of subconscious block attached to it. And we can go into that in another podcast episode but I would love to see a picture of your vision board when you make them so please, please share them with me. Make sure you give me a follow on Instagram and tic toc my links to those will be in the show notes and I will see you in the next episode and hopefully by then, you will have your vision board created.
