Why Vision Boards Work for Hitting Your Goals
and the Science Behind Visualization
You see, I'm a huge believer in the power of visualization and the secret that can actually make goal-hitting easier. I’ve used it in my own life for everything from dance performances and cheerleading, to competitive powerlifting. Not to mention how I even use it to visualize successful mornings before my kids go to school. Visualization is not just some woo-woo concept— it’s proven to help our brains focus on achieving and ultimately hitting those goals!
The science is simple: when we imagine ourselves succeeding, we actually activate the same neural pathways as if we were actually doing the task. That's why repeatedly exposing ourselves to visual reminders of what we want to achieve etches those pathways into our subconscious and helps influence our actions and decisions, making success become second nature.
That’s why vision boards are so popular and effective! When done right, they provide a constant visual cue of your dreams and goals. They plant these seeds in your brain over and over again, making it so much easier to stay aligned and motivated, even when life gets hectic, and help you start hitting those goals.

How to Create Your Digital Vision Board in Canva for Hitting Your Goals
Okay, so are you ready to create your vision board and start hitting your goals? Here are my steps to getting your Canva board started:
Get Clear On What You Want: Reflect on your core values and the goals that align with them. Consider areas like personal growth, family, health, career, and travel. What are the feelings that you are striving for this year? What goals do you want to start hitting this year?
Gather Your Inspiration: Start collecting images and quotes that represent those goals, your feelings, and your intentions for this year. I like to use both images from the internet, screenshots, and personal photos! Canva also has a ton of great, free images! These images should represent your dreams and should represent your success of hitting those goals.
Use Canva: Head to Canva and search for "vision board" or "collage" templates. Choose one that resonates with you and start customizing.
Customize: Add your photos, affirmations, and any specific dates you want to keep in mind to help you hit your goals. Play with colors and fonts until it feels uniquely yours!
Download It: Once you're happy with your vision board, download it and save it as your phone or desktop wallpaper. Now, you're on your way to hitting those goals anytime you grab your phone!
The Proof is in My 2020 Vision Board
Okay, I’ve been talking the talk, but let me show you I've walked the walk! I made a vision board in 2020 that was literally just a collage on my computer, and although I didn't make it a wallpaper on my phone, it still worked wonders and helped me start hitting my goals!
I had all of these goals: Speaking at events, making a certain income, opening up our own gym, and some health goals around powerlifting, and launching the podcast! I went back through and I checked off everything that I had accomplished, which was pretty crazy!
But here's the best part: after seeing all of those check marks, I decided to create a follow up vision board from that year by finding actual photos of those goals coming to life.
The most interesting part was seeing all of the goals and seeing the ways that they came to fruition. The universe is so creative! The gym came to us in a different way as we ended up building a home gym after the pandemic. The vision board became real life and helped me start hitting those goals.
The takeaway? Your intention, coupled with visual reminders, will bring your vision to life and help you start hitting your goals, whether you even realize it or not!
