5 Easy Steps To Create An Online Vision Board For 2024

Author Pebbles

A popular activity at the start of the new year is making a vision board. You would pull out magazines and pictures, glue and tape, scissors and stickers. You would then arrange them on the board to see what you want to see for yourself in the new year. Well if you don’t feel like making a mess, there’s another way to manifest your best life. Make an online vision board for 2024.

What is a vision board?

A vision board is a collage of images, words, and symbols that represent your vision for your future. It’s putting out into the universe what you want, where you can see it. It represents your goals and your dreams.

5 easy steps to your online vision board

These steps are taken from Canva, which is an online graphic design platform. It’s free to use, although they do have a paid version that gives you extra content. I have a paid version but there’s definitely enough to make some great designs with the free version. Here are the five steps they give to create your online vision board through Canva.

  1. Go to Canva.com and sign up for an account if you don’t already have one. Again, it’s free. Then search “vision board” to look for a template.
  2. Choose one of the many templates that fits what you like visually. Or if you want, you can create one from scratch.
  3. Add images. You can upload some of your own photos, or you can search the Canva library for some stock images. You then simply drag and drop your photos into the template.
  4. Customize your vision board. There are so many ways to personalize your board. There are tons of graphic elements to add to the design to make it exactly how you want it. You can also add any text you want as well. And if you have a favorite color esthetic you’re going for, you can change the colors too.
  5. Print out, post, or download your design. You can print out and frame your design to hang where you can see it daily. I got mine printed at Staples. If you want to share it online you can do that as well. And if you want to see it throughout the day, you can download it as your wallpaper on your phone or computer.

Here’s to a brand new year full of all your hopes and dreams. If you need more help with your design, here is a video from Canva to help you out.

Embrace the Unconventional with These 5 Non-Cliché Resolutions

‘Tis the season when many of us craft our New Year’s resolutions, including aspirations such as adopting healthier habits, reducing social media consumption, abstaining from alcohol, and embracing more home-cooked meals. While these goals are admirable, the recurring nature of such resolutions and the common struggle to stick to them is a familiar tale. Whether one opts for one resolution or a collection of them, why not inject a dose of originality by steering clear of clichés?

Why do some people have New Year’s resolutions?

The advent of the New Year presents a blank canvas. It’s an opportunity to rectify past missteps. New Year’s resolutions embody the optimism that the upcoming year will be brighter, symbolizing a departure from the past. Dennis Buttimer, M.Ed., CEAP, RYT, a facilitator at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont, shared his take on the motivation behind making these resolutions. He stated, “I think most people desire a second chance to enhance the quality of their lives,” as shared on Piedmont.org. He mentioned that we are employing a concept known as “self-efficacy.” This concept entails that, by setting a goal and actively pursuing it, we gain a sense of control over the events unfolding in our lives.

How some say New Year’s resolutions started.

While the tradition of formulating New Year’s resolutions has been around for quite some time, it has evolved. According to the History Channel, the ancient Babylonians, credited with pioneering this practice some 4,000 years ago, observed a different commencement of the year in mid-March, coinciding with the planting of crops. Their 12-day religious festival, Akitu, involved the coronation of a new king or the reaffirmation of loyalty to the reigning one. Interestingly, the Babylonians made pledges to the gods, promising to settle debts and return borrowed items. Fulfilling these commitments was believed to garner favor from the pagan deities for the ensuing year.

Back to the present day: if you want to embrace the tradition of New Year’s Resolutions but want to steer clear of the usual ones that people typically lean towards, check out our compilation of non-cliché New Year’s resolutions below.
