A new year always comes with big changes. Some of these changes are unplanned; while others are of your own making. January is all about setting personal goals and paving the path to a great new year. Want to travel in 2017? Change up your hairstyle? Start a new big project? Make this year the year of your dreams. Test limits and break down walls. And, what better way is there to start than by creating a 2017 vision board?
Your goals can be as big or as little as you like. Perhaps one is something that can be achieved in a month. Or, maybe you have a goal that can’t be reached in a year’s time, but is something you want to start working toward. The possibilities are endless.
To start off, write out a list of what you would like to achieve this year. It can be related to school, health, relationships, travel, etc. A goal can be as simple as how many books you would like to read or as big as moving to a new city.

A vision board is a simple craft that is not only fun, but is a great source of inspiration for the entire year. All you need is poster board, scissors, tape or glue, and anything you would like to put on your board (photos, stickers, magazine clippings, etc.). Cut, paste, create! Use images and texts that inspire you. Remember, the purpose of a vision board is to motivate you!

Are you interested in traveling? Put it on the board! Even if you know you can’t make it to a new place this year, make it your goal to save as much money as you can so that you can traverse the world in 2018.

Or, if you just haven’t figured out what major goals you would like to reach this year, make a board of smaller goals that will make you smile just a little bit more each day. Even simply changing up your drink order each week is a great little goal for the new year.

So, get started on your vision board asap, and prepare for a year filled with new experiences and endless surprises. Climb that (literal or figurative) mountain and make 2017 your best year yet!
