Using Vision Boards to Turn Wishes into Plans

One of our challenges this week was to create a vision board on Pinterest. I am an active user of Pinterest for teaching and other inspiration, it is an app that I would say I use the most. Pinterest is something I look forward to using and I use it weekly to gather ideas and inspiration as well as learn new things for everything in my life- my job, my outfits, my workouts, vacation planning, career goals and visions, recipes, DIY ideas, literally everything! 

While some Pinterest boards function as idea and information boards, where I pin resources that link to important sites and further reading, I also have many boards that are vision boards that are meant to create aesthetic and visions of things. 

I created a vision board for my Career Visions and what I want my work life and atmosphere to look like, check out this Career Visions board. 

I believe vision boards can effectively help someone establish what they want an aspect of their life to look like, then use the collection of wishes to guide and inspire steps towards the vision.  Here's an example train of thought... I want my career to offer the freedom to work remotely, from home, from a coffee shop or from another part of the world while traveling. What does that look like? How can I work towards achieving it? 

With vision boards, you can turn wishes into plans

Do you use Pinterest? Have you created vision boards before? If so, why do you create them?
