How To Go From Vision Board To IRL
Pinterest has been around for almost 15 years. Still, creators keep developing new ways to use and incorporate Pinterest into our daily lives.
Like Pinterest, manifestation has also adapted to changing or new and emerging trends.
Manifestors constantly brainstorm and develop new and creative ways to incorporate manifestation practices into our daily lives.
Manifestation is a helpful tool for setting goals and achieving them through mindset. There are lots of helpful manifestation and ritual guides to help you start your manifesting journey.
Vision boards are one form of manifestation that can be done entirely on Pinterest.
Creating different boards with different moods or aesthetics in mind can be an easy way to curate goals you want to achieve or strive towards.
Imagine someday in the future, there’s a movie of your story, and in the opening scene, the narrator says something like:
“...and one day she looked around, and her life had become her Pinterest boards…”
Here’s what you’ve got to do to make your Pinterest board life your IRL life:
Ready to bridge the gap between your Pinterest board and your daily life? Here's how to make it happen:
Focus on One Board at a Time: Pick a specific theme for a board, like "Productive Workspace." This helps you break down large goals into manageable steps.
Start Small & Build Momentum: Choose a single element to implement daily. It could be something simple, like decluttering your desk or adding a stylish candle for ambiance. Consistency is key!
Plan for Progress, Not Perfection: Making a to-do list for your ideal workspace prevents feeling overwhelmed. Remember, plans can be adjusted as you go!
Spark Creativity with Writing Prompts: Dedicate a board to writing prompts you find on Pinterest. Spend 20-30 minutes daily writing freely based on a prompt. It's a fantastic way to unleash new ideas!
Curate Your Dream Life Board: This board is your anything-goes zone! Pin places you want to visit, delicious food you crave, or even everyday life inspiration. Use these pins to set goals. For example, seeing a picture of a Greek vacation could inspire you to plan a trip with friends.
Fashionistas: Meet Your Dream Closet (Virtually): The "Want Locker" app lets you curate your dream outfits, similar to Pinterest. It features clothes, accessories, and decorations, with links to purchase items!
Find Joy in the Little Things: Savor everyday moments: take a walk outdoors, pet the neighborhood cats, or start your day with a calming matcha ritual. These small joys add up!
Self-Care is Creative Care: Turn self-care into a creative act! Find ways to nourish your body and mind with good habits that boost energy and inspiration. Consider my book, "Elemental: Nature-Inspired Rituals to Nourish Your Life," for ideas!
By following these steps, you can transform your Pinterest dreams into a vibrant reality!
How to incorporate self-care into your life:
Bake a new recipe once a week
Trying new recipes can be a great way to experiment in the kitchen, and baking makes it more fun and less stressful than cooking.
You can also share recipes and baked goods with friends and family.
Try something out of your comfort zone
You may have always wanted to play pickleball but are nervous about starting. Join a Pickleball Club online and try it out.
Journal!
Write down your thoughts and feelings. Track your progress towards specific goals and create new mantras for yourself.
Become the director of your life movie
Frame your everyday life as a romanticized story with you as the main character, featuring fantastic plot lines, characters, and magically curated adventures.
