How to add quotes to my vision board?
Creating your own vision board with quotes is a great way to keep yourself motivated and focused on reaching success!
Here are some tips on how to add quotes to your vision board for maximum impact and inspiration:
- Choose your favorite quotes that resonate with you and motivate you!
- You want the phrases on your vision board to inspire you, so choose the ones that speak to you on a personal level.
- Designate a space for writing or displaying each quote.
- Figure out where each of your quotes will go and decide how much space it will occupy on the board. This can help determine if you need larger lettering or if multiple quotes fit in one space.
- Go wild with different font styles and colors.
- Use different fonts and colors when adding text to make your vision board unique and creative!
- Experiment with various options until you find one that matches the overall aesthetic of your board.
- Find images or photos that match each quote.
- Finding images or photos related to a quote can be a great way to represent its meaning visually without needing too many words. This will make a more impactful statement than just having words alone on your vision board.
- Break up longer quotes into smaller sections.
- Longer quotes may need to be broken up into smaller sections for them all to show on the same page/area of the board.
- Alternatively, break up long sentences into separate statements so they are easier to read and understand at first glance!
How to Make a Vision Board With Quotes?
Making a vision board with quotes and manifestations can be done physically or digitally, your choice!
For a PHYSICAL Vision Board:
- Pick your favorite passages and either print them out or write by hand.
- Cut and stick the printouts on your board. You can use glue, tape, pins or rope. Or…well, get creative with your vision board!
- Organize them so they match the vibe of your vision board well. That can mean colors, shapes, or composition.
For a DIGITAL Vision Board
- Use Pinterest to collect your images; it’s such a great resource! You can even host your whole vision board there by creating a separate board for it. I go over these concepts and more in my article on the topic:
- Use Canva to design your vision board. It’s free, easy, and you can make a vision board for your computer or phone wallpaper or design one for print – it’s up to you. I have a full step-by-step tutorial about it here:
- Use a tool like Notion (it’s free). I use it for all of my life’s organizational tasks and can’t recommend it enough! Check out my tutorial about it here:
Hope you enjoyed these vision board quotes that are inspirational and motivational. Pick a few you like and get to designing your perfect vision board.
The life you manifest awaits! 🙂
