31 vision board quotes to inspire you to dream big
If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you’ll know I’m a big fan of positive thinking and goal setting, and there’s nothing better for both of those than a vision board filled with positive, motivating quotes and affirmations.
Vision boards are incredible! I can't imagine a more meaningful or transformational way to start the new year (or any time of year, really).
This year, I'm bringing you a collection of vision board quotes I've pulled together to help get your creative juices flowing. You can also download an affirmations page that you can print out and use on your own vision board.
What is a vision board?
A Vision Board is a goal-manifesting collage that transforms dreams into action through inspiring words and pictures. Vision boards have grown hugely in popularity over the last few years helped by celebrities who swear by them: Oprah, Katy Perry, Jim Carey and Beyoncé.
What kind of words should I put on my vision board?
The key to a truly inspirational vision board is to find quotes that resonate deeply with you. The more you ponder on good quotes for your vision board, the stronger their impact will be.
Mindset and positive thinking vision board quotes
No vision board is complete without at least one quote that speaks to the power of positive thinking.
These are some of my favourite quotes that I’ve gathered over the years and some that I’ve used in my own vision boards or simply as post-it notes that hang around my house to provide me with positive affirmations.
