Your Vision Board
Step 2 of 3 · About 30 minutes · Do this week
Before we ever look at a number, we start with your life. This exercise is about getting clear on what you actually want — not what you think you should want, and not someday. The next 5–10 years.
Don't overthink it. The images you're drawn to will tell us more than any spreadsheet can.
Set the scene
Find 30 quiet minutes in a space where you feel relaxed. Put your phone down (except to use Canva). This works best when you're not rushed.
Open Canva and start a blank board
Go to canva.com — it's free. Create a free account if you don't have one. Start a new design and choose Presentation or Mood Board as your format. Either works.
Search for images that resonate
Use the prompts below to guide your search. Look for images that pull at you — don't analyze why, just notice the pull. Canva has a built-in image library, or you can upload your own photos.
Add words and a title
Once your images are placed, add words, phrases, and a title that capture what the board means to you. The title especially can reveal a lot — don't skip it. This helps anchor the images when we look at them together.
Save and share
Download your board as a PDF or image, or copy the Canva share link, and send it to your advisor at least a few days before your first session. This gives them time to prepare — and makes that first conversation significantly more meaningful for you.
Imagine your life 5–10 years from now. Let these areas guide you — you don't need to cover all of them. Go where the energy is.
Your Daily LifeWhat does a great ordinary day look like? Where are you, and how do you feel?
Health & EnergyWhat does feeling strong and well look like for you?
RelationshipsWho are the people around you? What do those connections feel like?
Home & SpaceWhere do you live? What does your environment feel like?
Work & PurposeWhat are you doing with your time? What does meaningful work look like?
Travel & AdventureWhere have you been? What experiences have you had?
Financial FreedomWhat does financial peace actually feel like? What does it let you do?
Purpose & MeaningWhat grounds you? What connects you to something larger — faith, community, service, or a sense of why?
Make it something you'll actually look at
Once you're done, download your board and set it as the wallpaper on your phone or computer. The more you see it, the more it works — your brain is remarkably good at moving toward what you keep in front of it.
If you get stuck, ask yourself: what would I put on this board if no one else was going to see it? Start there.
