How to Create Your Vision Board for 2025: Tips by Gayathri Shivaram

Manifesting your dream life requires clarity, focus, and belief in your goals. Vision boards are a powerful tool to help rewire your subconscious mind and make you believe that your dreams are achievable. Gayathri Shivaram, a manifestation coach, shares simple yet impactful tips to get started with your Vision Board for 2025. Follow these steps to visualize, affirm, and manifest the life you desire.

Why Vision Boards are Key to Manifestation

Vision boards are more than just collages of inspiring images—they are tools to shift your mindset. By visually representing your goals, you train your mind to focus on possibilities and act on opportunities. They bridge the gap between what you desire and what you normalize in your life.

The best time to start your vision board? Two weeks before 2025. This timing helps you step into the new year with a clear and energized focus.

Step 1: Define Your Goals with the 80/20 Rule

Start by identifying your key goals in five areas of your life:

• Health – Fitness, nutrition, or mental well-being goals.
• Wealth – Financial goals like saving, investing, or achieving abundance.
• Relationships – Personal, family, or professional relationships you wish to nurture.
• Career – Promotions, projects, or skills you want to accomplish.
• Spiritual – Mindfulness, meditation, or personal growth goals.
• The 80/20 Rule: Ensure 80% of your goals are immediate (short-term) and 20% are long-term goals. This balance helps you stay motivated while progressing toward your big-picture dreams.

Step 2: Find Images That Resonate with Your Goals

Once your goals are defined, it's time to give them a visual form. Search for images on Pinterest or Google that align with your dreams and aspirations. Look for visuals that evoke strong emotions—this helps reinforce your belief in achieving those goals.

For example:

A fit body for health goals.
A dream house or financial numbers for wealth goals.
A happy family image for relationship goals.
The images should feel meaningful, personal, and inspiring.

Step 3: Create Your Vision Board with Positive Affirmations

Revisit the joy of your childhood crafting days! Grab a chart paper, corkboard, or pin-up board, a pair of scissors, and some glue. Here's how to bring your vision board to life:
Cut out all the chosen images and create a collage on your board.
Add positive words and affirmations alongside the images. Phrases like “I am healthy,” “Abundance flows to me,” or “I attract fulfilling relationships” can empower and inspire you.
Once your vision board is ready, commit to spending at least 10 minutes daily looking at it. Visualize your goals and dream life as if they are already a reality.

The Key to Manifestation: Normalize Your Dreams

As Gayathri Shivaram wisely reminds us, “We don't attract what we want; we attract what we normalize.” Your vision board works by helping you normalize your goals and dreams. By seeing them daily, you embed them into your subconscious, which aligns your actions and mindset with what you want to manifest.
