Using Canva To Make Your 2023 Vision Board

As we head into this New Year, like most people, I’ve set some goals in order to better myself. I’ve never made a vision board before, but was interested in doing it for the first time. I don’t have magazines or cut out scraps laying around, so I was going to make a digital version in photoshop. However, I found out Canva has templates for vision boards, and I was hooked! So I thought I’d share this process with you in case you didn’t know or maybe you want to try it for the first time too.

Making your vision board

First step is go to Canva and sign in or make an account. I’m personally a Canva Pro member but you can definitely do this with the free version!

Search “vision board” in the search bar and lots of template options will come up.

The beauty of Canva is picking whichever template catches your eye, then you can completely customize it to however you want it. I really wanted something with a mix of images and words, so I chose a template that suited my vision.

You can use the elements feature in the left sidebar to choose from Canva’s variety of graphics, photos, videos, and more! The Canva Pro subscription gives you even more options. I also pulled up a list of “Words of the year” to see what words best suit my vision. This board was made specifically with my business in mind so I wanted to keep it relevant.

You can also use the Uploads feature to upload your own photos and videos! I added a few of my own pictures of my work and my space to really tie myself to my vision.

And that’s it! Add as much or as little as you want, use a template or start from scratch, Canva makes it super easy either way!

To show how easy it is (and because I really wanted to) I made another version, one for my personal life and goals, and I wanted to show how you can really work a template to make it specific to you.

Here’s the template I originally chose:

And here’s my final version of it:

I really encourage you to try this if you’re big on goal setting and/or manifestation! You could easily make it a phone or laptop wallpaper to look at every day. Let me know if you try it for yourself!
