13 Things To Include On Your 2024 Vision Board To Manifest Your Best Self

The new year really is one of the best times to pause, reflect, and set goals to make the upcoming few months some of your best. From enhancing your beauty routine to advancing your career to immersing yourself in culture, entertainment, and travel, there are so many ins and outs for 2024 to keep in mind as you get ready to make the most of the next 12 months and be your best, luckiest self. And what’s the best way to manifest all of your goals? Simply visualize them! Embrace a “new year, better me” mantra by creating your own vision board — here’s what to include on one.

Crafting a personal vision board is a powerful way to bring your dreams closer to reality. When assembling images and drawings on a digital or physical poster, don’t just think about the stuff you want in life — consider how you want to feel, too. Also, displaying it where you’ll see it frequently is a daily reminder that your thoughts wield the power to mold your mindset and attract the reality you desire. 

This year, seize the opportunity to make your vision board a reflection of your distinctive journey towards success and fulfillment. Everything is a work in progress, and many find curating these collages truly helps spark all of their dreams and goals.

Books To Read

Thanks to BookTok, reading has become more popular than ever, particularly with the surge in interest for smutty romance novels. Take a moment to select a couple of reads from your to-be-read list and paste them on the board, whether it’s showcasing the physical covers of the novels or simply listing their titles.

Empowering Affirmations

Start the year off right by re-channeling your inner positivity because you really are the luckiest person alive. Tap into the hundreds of affirmations that can propel you toward changes like achieving good grades (I am a straight A student), earning more money (wealth flows to me), and inviting abundant love into your life (I attract love). You deserve everything, and everything you put on your board truly wants you more.

Fashion Trends

Looking to revamp your style for 2024? Start a closet makeover featuring the latest, hottest trends, such as the effortlessly chic Eclectic Grandpa look, the bold and fierce appeal of leopard print, and the charming sophistication of bows on everything.

Fun Foods To Taste

You’ve probably come across all those amazing, fresh spots to explore in your local area or the city on social media (and can’t resist capturing photos of them). Now is your chance to craft your own cuisine — whatever delights your taste buds the most and adds happiness to your dining experience. Whether you’re excited to sample the latest winter specials from popular chain restaurants or eager to whip up a new recipe at home, there’s a plethora of delightful food creations waiting for you to try.

Growing Aesthetics

Channel the whimsical pastels of fairycore spring or delve into the deep mysteriousness of dark academia this new year. When keeping an eye for aesthetics, let your personal style shine through in every aspect of your planning. Pair elements to elevate your daily routine, turning each day into a visual delight.

Inspirational Quotes

Sometimes you need that little extra boost of motivation, so why not include some inspirational quotes to live by? Embracing these words of wisdom can serve as a guiding light, inspiring you to seize opportunities and overcome challenges with unwavering determination. Whether they’re famous sayings or lyrics from a favorite song, these words serve as the ideal encouragement to infuse into your daily routine.

Job Titles

Are you a recent grad or simply searching for your summer internship? Whether you want to climb the corporate ladder to become the big boss or secure a position at your favorite prestigious company, take a moment to jot down some of the dream jobs you aim to land this year.

New Movies & TV shows

As awards season begins, there are several films and series that have found their way onto your watchlist, with a multitude of upcoming releases demanding your attention. Seize the opportunity in this new year to binge-watch all your new and favorite cinematic and episodic delights.

People You Admire

Friends, family, and celebrities are some of the most influential figures in life, and it’s essential to surround yourself with those who matter most as you step into the new year. Share moments of joy by posting pictures of cherished times with loved ones, or draw inspiration from the celebrities who motivate you to create lasting memories in the year ahead.

Products To Try

Although Gen Alpha 10-year-olds might beat you to it, create a product wishlist encompassing a range of beauty, style, tech, and home products, spanning from luxurious options to high-quality dupes, that you aspire to test out throughout the year.

Travel Goals

Whether you’re studying abroad or looking for a rejuvenating getaway, drop all of the places you’re dying to visit. Paste down those picturesque places — you might soon have the chance to experience them in person.

Self-Care solutions

Discover the power of self-love through delving into serene, solitary moments that enable you to concentrate on yourself and prioritize the important aspects of your life. Engaging in hobbies like journaling help you establish a profound connection with your inner self, promoting emotional well-being and fostering a positive mindset.

Workout Exercises

New Year’s resolutions come in many forms, with hitting up the gym or embarking on personal health initiatives being a popular choice to kickstart your year. To tackle and follow through with this positive change, include some simple workout exercises to build more body-positive physical activity seamlessly into your daily lifestyle.
