Make a traditional vision board with magazine images on poster board for the coming year. Or, if you prefer working on the computer, make a digital vision board for the coming year.

And if you haven't made one yet, I invite you to sign up for one of my Vision Board Workshops. In them, I walk you through my process for making a powerful vision board to achieve your goals and create your dream life.
