Vision Boards for Self-Love and Body Positivity
Alright, babes, let’s talk self-love and body positivity. And before you roll your eyes thinking this is another Pinterest-perfect, influencer-approved bullshit hold your judgment—we’re diving into this with realness, glitter, and maybe some sass. Enter: the vision board.
Yes, I’m talking about cutting-and-pasting-your-dreams kind of vision boards. But this time, it’s not for manifesting a private jet (although, go for it if that’s your vibe). This one’s all about YOU, your fabulous self, and hyping up that amazing body you live in.
Why Vision Boards?
Because they’re magic, that’s why. There’s something wildly satisfying about turning your thoughts and goals into something tangible. When you’re staring at a masterpiece of your own making that screams “I’m amazing,” it hits differently. Plus, it’s way cheaper than therapy—although this isn’t a substitute for actual therapy. Let’s be clear on that.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Alright, grab some supplies. We’re not making a Mona Lisa here, so don’t stress about fancy materials. Here’s your checklist:
– A board (corkboard, cardboard, whatever’s laying around)
– Magazines, printed pics, or your own drawings (stick figures are valid art!)
– Glue, tape, or pins
– Markers, glitter, stickers—go wild
– Scissors (aka the adult crafting weapon)
And wine. Or tea. Whatever fuels your creativity.
Step 2: Set the Mood
This ain’t just cutting and pasting; it’s a vibe. Light a candle, blast your favorite tunes, and get comfy. Think Lizzo, not Adele’s heartbreak anthems. This is about empowerment, not crying over your ex.
Step 3: Choose Your Focus
What’s the vibe you’re going for? Here are a few themes to get your brain gears turning:
1. **Body Positivity:** Find images and quotes that celebrate your gorgeous body in all its glory.
2. **Self-Love:** Think affirmations, things that make you feel like a damn queen
3. **Goals That Align With Joy:** Skip the “beach body” nonsense and go for “I want to feel strong AF” or “I want to run a mile without wanting to die.”
Step 4: Assemble Like a Badass
Cut, pin, paste, and stick your way to greatness. There are no rules here except one: it has to feel good. If a picture of a cat in a tiara sparks joy, slap it on there. If the phrase “I’m a hot piece of ass” makes you smile, bold it in glitter glue.
Step 5: Placement is Key
Stick your vision board somewhere you’ll see it every day—bathroom mirror, bedroom wall, maybe your fridge if you’re like me and visit it 37 times a day. The goal is to soak in that self-love energy like it’s your morning coffee.
Step 6: Check-In (But No Pressure!)
Life happens. Some days you’ll feel like a radiant god(dess), and others, you’ll feel like a potato. It’s fine. Your vision board isn’t about perfection; it’s about giving yourself a gentle nudge toward love and acceptance.
Final Thoughts
Self-love and body positivity aren’t destinations; they’re lifelong journeys. Your vision board is just one tool in your badass self-care arsenal. So, grab those scissors, channel your inner craft queen, and create something that screams, “I’m worth it.” Because you are.
Now, go make some magic—and maybe sprinkle some glitter on your way out. You deserve it.
