So… You’ve been hearing that other women use a vision board to actually change their lives, right?

👉🏼 Maybe a friend in your circle mentioned she used a vision board to get her dream home?

👉🏼 Or you heard someone on a podcast say vision boards helped them finally make the money they’d been working toward?

👉🏼 Or perhaps you’re seeing vision boards all over Instagram and Pinterest and people swearing they work?

Bottom line: You don’t quiiiiiite understand how to use a vision board in this way?

Well… You’re not the only one who is a little vexed by this. 🙂

Using a vision board to actually get what you want is different from making a vision board for fun because the focus is on shifting your beliefs so your reality can catch up. (While making a vision board for fun might focus on pretty pictures or aspirational aesthetics, using one to get what you want is more intentional and specific.)

So because it’s different… It’s not always clear from the outside how it’s working for people. But, good news… In this blog post, I’m going to clear it right up for you!

I’ll be sharing…

• How using a vision board to get what you want requires a different approach
• A proven step-by-step strategy for actually using your vision board
• The main reasons why this approach actually works

Ready? Let’s review the ins and outs of this, starting with…

How to Use a Vision Board to Get What You Want: A Few Key Differences

As mentioned above, using a vision board to actually get what you want will be different in many ways than how most people make vision boards. (For example: someone who makes a board once, hangs it up, and never looks at it again.)

Here are some of the key differences between using a vision board to get results  vs. a “regular” (Shall we say, craft project?? 🎨) vision board:

1. The foundation:

Using a vision board to get what you want starts with clarity and belief work. The board is built around a specific desire you’re ready to work with and the belief you need for that desire to become reality.

Example: A woman wants to make $10k/month. She doesn’t just slap money images on a board. She first identifies the limiting belief (“I have to work harder to make more”) and creates a replacement belief (“My income isn’t directly tied to my effort”). That belief becomes the foundation for her entire vision board.

And since you’re using a vision board to get what you want, you work with one clear desire at a time. One belief so there is one direction. (Even if that means your board looks “smaller” or less impressive.)

2. What you include on the board:

The content on a vision board designed to get results is intentional. It’s not just pretty pictures.

This means you include the belief (affirmation) at the center. Images that represent what life looks like when that belief is true. And the emotions you’d feel living that reality.

It’s designed to shift what your subconscious believes is possible because 95% of what you are experiencing in your life is directly tied to your subconscious.

3. How you use it:

Using a vision board to get what you want means you actually work with it. Regularly. Not just hang it on the wall and crossing your fingers that something happens.

You look at it to remind yourself of the belief, feel the emotions, and use it to support embodiment throughout your day..

So yes… Using a vision board to get what you want is more intentional and specific than making a vision board for fun. The focus is on shifting your beliefs so your reality can catch up. This requires a different approach and a commitment to actually using it!

Now let’s cover the steps of that strategy…

How to Use a Vision Board to Get What You Want: A Proven Strategy (Step by Steps)

As someone who has been teaching this for years, I’ve been perfecting this strategy. Here’s what I teach inside Vision Lab:

(Note: I teach the details of each step inside the Manifest SHE Vision Lab. The tools and trainings walk you through exactly how to do each of these steps.)

1. Get clear on what you actually want: 

Start by identifying one desire you’re ready to work with. Not everything. And make sure it’s in Zone 2 on the Possibility Spectrum, where belief work actually creates results. Inside Vision Lab, members use the Clarity Coach for this step.

2. Identify the limiting belief: 

Figure out what belief is blocking this desire. Not to dig into trauma. Just to bring it into conscious awareness so you can shift it. Inside Vision Lab, members use the Limiting Belief Breaker for this.

3. Create a replacement belief: 

Choose a new belief that actually supports your desire. This becomes your affirmation and the foundation for your entire vision board. Inside Vision Lab, members use the Custom Affirmation Generator for this step.

4. Choose images that represent the belief: 

Now you pick images. But you’re not asking “What do I want?” You’re asking “If this belief was true, what would my life look like?” The images represent the reality this belief creates.

5. Anchor it with emotion: 

Identify the specific emotions that come with living this belief. Relief, freedom, trust, ease… These emotions become part of your vision board. Inside Vision Lab, members use the Affirmation Alchemist for this.

6. Create your vision board page: 

(We actually use a vision diary as opposed to a board) Put it all together. The belief in the center. Images around it. Emotions included. 

7. Use your vision board regularly: 

This is the part most people skip. You need to actually work with your vision board. Look at it. Read the belief. Feel the emotions. Let it support your embodiment throughout your day.

8. Embody the belief in real life: 

Throughout your day, catch yourself in old patterns. Use your vision board as a reminder to choose differently. This is where the change happens and your life starts to look like your vision pictures!

By following these steps, you can use a vision board to actually get what you want. Women inside Vision Lab use this process to get real results. They’re making more money without working harder, have more free time, and more! And the cherry on top is that they’re watching desires show up in surprisingly easy ways.

A Word About Working With One Desire at a Time

Remember, vision boards work by shifting what your subconscious believes is possible. So more often than not, when you try to work with everything at once – career, money, relationships, body, lifestyle – your brain gets overwhelmed.

(We love working with one thing at a time! Because it makes belief work faster and more effective… You’re building one belief instead of trying to shift your entire life at once.)

But… the other side of that coin is this:

Because the board focuses on belief rather then a singular desire, members find that by working on one (sometimes two at a time) that their lives are changing in multiple ways. This is because the ‘areas’ of our lives aren’t compartmentalized. Everything is connected. 

That means if you have more money, you have less stress! But it doesn’t stop there because more money means you can hire a housecleaner and now you have nore time. The list could go on but you get the idea.

Okay… Now let’s touch on this question…

Does using a Vision Board Actually Work?

Yessss! So good!

There are three main reasons why, really. (Although I could list more!)

1. Vision boards work with the 95% of your brain that actually creates your reality.

Your subconscious (that 95%) is where your beliefs live. And your beliefs determine what you notice, what you dismiss, what feels possible, and what opportunities you can even see.

Vision boards – when used the right way – shift what the 95% believes through visual repetition and emotional anchoring.

For example, that woman working on the belief “My income isn’t directly tied to my effort” uses her vision board to train her brain. And over time, she starts noticing opportunities that feel easy. She stops dismissing things as “too good to be true.” Her reality shifts because her belief shifted first.

2. You can work with your vision board daily.

(No massive action required, like trying to force outcomes with willpower…)

You can use your vision board to remind yourself of the belief you’re building. You can embody it throughout your day in small moments when you catch old patterns and choose differently. This makes shifting belief feel easier and more sustainable.

3. Vision boards are more effective than trying to change through willpower alone.

Vision boards require less forcing than trying to make things happen through action alone. One reason is that you’re working with your subconscious instead of against it. You’re not exhausting the 5% (your conscious mind) trying to do all the heavy lifting.

And results show up faster when you shift belief first, because your brain stops filtering out what you want and starts noticing what’s already available.

(Huhhh… That’s sort of more than three reasons. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh well! There are lots of good reasons to use a vision board to get what you want. I over-delivered.)
