One of my favorite tools to man­i­fest things in to my life is a vision board. Because I am a pho­tog­ra­phy geek I real­ly appre­ci­ate the great images that I can find and enjoy. I typ­i­cal­ly do a new one every Jan­u­ary.  The best place to put a vision board is where you will see it reg­u­lar­ly. I keep my main board hang­ing on the wall by my bed. Since I live in an open con­cept space (which is a fan­cy way of say­ing one room,) I can see it not only when I go to bed and when I wake up, but I also get to see it when I am read­ing, watch­ing TV, or work­ing on the computer.

Vision boards are real­ly per­son­al­ized so they can be made in a vari­ety sizes and even shapes. So here are my favorite places for a vision board.

1. Next to your bed

Even if you aren’t lucky enough to be able to hang a large vision board by your bed you can still have one in your bed­room. You can get 8.5 X 11 doc­u­ment frames for very lit­tle mon­ey and print up a small vision board on your print­er.  Set it on your night­stand and there you can see it at least twice a day.  You can also use a small­er framed option for your desk if you work in an office.

2. The visor on your car

This is anoth­er small option, but you can stick up a vision board on the visor of you car. Then just dri­ve with the visor down and every time you stop at a light or get caught in traf­fic you can look up at the visor and be remind­ed of what you want and why you are work­ing to get it. I don’t have images on my visor, but affir­ma­tions and ques­tions for my guides. e.g. “What would it take for me to live my dream life with abun­dance and ease?”  (For more info on great ques­tions to open doors check out Christi Marie Shel­don.)

3. Your Com­put­er Desktop

I have my com­put­er set up with sev­er­al desk­tops, all of them have sin­gle pics that are of gor­geous trop­i­cal areas. Well actu­al­ly most of them are of Ft. Jef­fer­son off Key West, but  anoth­er is of an incred­i­ble shot of a dol­phin tail tak­en in the Med. But you don’t have to set up sev­er­al desk­tops. But you can eas­i­ly use a pro­gram like Pic­Mon­key to cre­ate a col­lage of images and text to make an awe­some desk­top vision board.  Phone and tablet desk­top back­ground are also a great idea. I mean how many times a day do we look at our phones?

4. In your bathroom

Yes your bath­room. This idea came from Leonie Daw­son. She (or some one she knows I can’t remem­ber) puts hers on the back of her bath­room door because she knows she will see it there sev­er­al times a day. That is a great idea. Now it is a more pub­lic area of your house depend­ing on how many bath­rooms you have and which one you use the most often, but if you are kind of anti-social like I am  or just don’t care if peo­ple think you are crazy then this is a great option

5.Refrigerator Door

This is anoth­er place where you will see the board sev­er­al times a day. And the cool thing about using the fridge is you can print each image indi­vid­u­al­ly and use mag­nets to hang them. Mean­ing if you are work­ing on one spe­cif­ic item on the list you can rearrange it to hang in a more promi­nent loca­tion on the fridge.

So these are my favorite places for hang­ing vision boards, but there are oth­er things you can do too. For instance you may not want to hang a vision board on your liv­ing room wall, but a love­ly paint­ing or pho­to­graph of a place you’d like to go, or some­thing that rep­re­sents your dream to you can be very pow­er­ful. When help­ing my aunt clean out her house we real­ized that we had a wolf to match every wolf paint­ing and card she had hang­ing in her house. Even the red wolf pho­tos bore a huge resem­blance to one of our first res­cues, Topan­ga. So any­thing you can do that keeps the dream alive and in your mind will help get you clos­er to your dream.
