I Made A Vision Board and Then I Ripped It Up
Here’s Why I’ll Never Make One Again
Confession time.
Last week, I made a vision board. I spread out the magazines, scissors, glue, and glittery hopes for the year ahead.I carefully curated the images and words that would represent my dreams.
And then, I ripped it up. Every last piece.
Not because it was wrong, but because it felt so limited.
Of course! A board, flat, two-dimensional, and confined within its borders made me feel boxed in. How could I expect my ideas, dreams, big and wild and ever-evolving, to fit within such a tidy frame?
As I stared at that beautiful board, I realized my future was based on who I am and what I know right now. My current mood, my current resources, my current imagination. But dreams are meant to grow with you. They’re meant to stretch beyond what you can see today. Coming from within and not without.
Who was I to tell the universe, This is exactly how my desires should look? What if there was more? What if the life I’m meant for doesn’t exist on the pages of a magazine yet?
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that my vision board wasn’t inspiring me. It was boxing me in, limiting how I saw my dreams unfolding.
Dreams Are Meant to Evolve & Expand
In the years since becoming a mother, I’ve watched my inner goddess aspects evolve.
For so long, my inner warrior ruled lead me. I was the “get it done” type, always moving, planning, and hustling. My to-do lists were my gospel, and if something needed doing, I was on it before anyone could ask.
But stepping into motherhood awakened something deeper. It invited me to embody my many goddess archetypes—not just the warrior, but the lover, the healer, and the mystic and the high priestess.
Addressing each archetype and activating each level has elevates my entire being. My mystic aspects remind me the power of quiet and trust. My inner healer keeps me true to the honoring of my body, wellbeing, and emotional needs. Together, they’ve all reshaped how I approach my life.
I’ve learned that my most magical experiences don’t come from hustling or ticking off lists. They come when I’m in my calm, feeling state, fully aligned with my truest desires.
This harmony between my goddess aspects allows me to create a life that serves not just one part of me, but all of me. It’s about releasing inner conflict and letting each of my inner aspects work in harmony, rather than in confusion.
Feel It First
What I’ve learned is this: feeling is the key to divine alignment.
When you focus on how you want to feel, you set the frequency for your desires to manifest. It’s not about chasing goals or forcing outcomes. It’s about embodying the energy of your dreams, here and now.
✨ When you feel peace, you align with clarity.
✨ When you feel joy, you attract abundance.
✨ When you feel love, you deepen connection.
The material things, the experiences, the relationships, they are attracted to you when you’ve aligned with their energy.
The First Three Minutes
Since ripping up my vision board, I’ve replaced it with a simple, powerful ritual. Each morning, before I get out of bed, before coffee, emails, text messages, and to-do lists, I give myself three sacred minutes to align with the energy of my desires. Sometimes, I write it, draw it, or just sit still and feel.
Here’s how I do it:
Breathe. I close my eyes and take deep breaths, letting my body relax.
Choose a Feeling. I pick one emotion to focus on: joy, abundance, or freedom.
Feel It Fully. I imagine myself living in that energy. What do I hear, see, or sense? I let the sensations wash over me.
This isn’t about solving problems or creating plans. It’s about feeling the vibration of what I want, as though it’s already here.
Living as Your (Goddess Self) 5D Vision Board
No longer, am I cutting and pasting my dreams onto a two-dimensional board,(separating myself from them). I’m consciously activating a new faculty. Taking 3 minutes to realize that I am embodying, living, breathing, feeling, allowing myself to live my dreams and vision. I am inevitably the Vision Board.
✨ The thoughts I nurture, the boundaries I set, and the way I care for myself are the brushstrokes painting the life I’m creating.
✨ Each choice I make, each moment I pause to feel instead of force, is a step toward alignment.
How I feel let’s me know whether I lost my focus somewhere and that I can regroup anytime I notice it.
Your Turn
What if you let go of the “how” and focused entirely on the “feel”?
Tomorrow morning, give yourself three minutes. Close your eyes. Choose a feeling that aligns with your desires. Let yourself live in that energy, fully and unapologetically.
Remember ✨ You are the vision board.
It’s not separate from you, it is in you.
What’s one way you’ll allow your vision today?
