Vision boarding is one of the most creatively freeing and playful tools you can adopt when dreaming and planning about the future of your life and work, don’t you think?

It’s a wonderful way to inject fun into the process of building a small business or connecting with your creativity. Not only does it provide a tangible source of assurance and inspiration, but it also offers an opportunity to crystallise your plans. Composed of images, text, and various visual elements, a vision board can be a canvas for the feelings you want to create or the outcomes you wish to achieve.

There is so much pressure on us to show up and share, so making time for creativity is priceless. Crafting a vision board is the perfect way to embrace a slow, simple and sustainable activity that nourishes our imagination. And it doesn't have to be a physical board; a digital version can be just as inspiring. Given how much time we spend on our gadgets, why not turn them into tools for creativity too?

Today,

joins me in sharing the benefits of vision boarding. She’ll also host a vision boarding workshop for paid subscribers on Friday, 21st June, from 10am-12pm BST. Having joined Anna for workshops on a few occasions, I’m delighted to offer this to members as we kick off our summer of styling in a few weeks. What better way to welcome the summer and the second half of the year than with a deep dive into what we wish to bring to life?

In case you missed my conversation with Anna last week, you might like to listen to this episode about the season of sowing, which forms part of my Brand Seasons method. Together, we explore taking the first steps towards our goals and plans, creating a podcast and our fears of public speaking, and harnessing the power of movement and nature to support our creativity.
