Have you ever heard of a Vision Board or a Dream Board?
The New Year is the perfect time to create your very own Vision Board. Think of it as a visual representation of your goals. They are usually poster sized visuals which contain all kinds of images and text that represent a goal that you may have.
It has been said that putting your goals on paper in a visual format can actually help you achieve them! According to Psychology Today, mental practices (like visualization) can increase motivation and confidence. It’s also a fun arts and crafts project!
If you want to make improvements to your kitchen, for example, you can clip a picture of a home that inspires you. Or perhaps you’d like to finally take that dream vacation. Find yourself a picture of a palm tree and grab your glue!
Be sure to post your vision board in a place that’s within your regular line of sight because the key is to look at it as often as possible.
Included in your kit will be a 16 x 20 mat, a glue stick, washi tape, fun stickers and magazines relevant to your specific goals / theme!
VISION BOARD KIT PICK UP! Week of January 26 - 30, 2026 during regular business hours
FREE but donations welcome!
EMAIL US at Activities@MorrisCT.gov to reserve yours and let us know what your goals / theme will be so we can customize your magazine selection!
Can't make our pick up times? Let us know and we will try our best to accommodate your schedule!
Let's make your visions a reality!
