Even Major Šebek, played by actor Miroslav Donutil in the Czech cult comedy Pelíšky (Cosy Dens), understood the importance of having a vision board at home. Granted, back then—in the pre-Velvet Revolution era—he approached it in his own unique way. It certainly wasn't a "dream board" for the rest of his household. References to cooperation with the Soviet Union and a weekly menu featuring tomato sauce couldn't exactly thrill his family. But at least his son tried to liven up the board with a dream of his own—a poster of a "mánička" (a long-haired hippie singer). His efforts were in vain.
Yet, even in those times, young people used to hang posters of their favorite singers and actors on their bedroom walls. In a way, this was the early predecessor of today’s vision board. A board of dreams, a visual collage that a person had right in front of their eyes nearly all the time. And it was something that pushed them forward, even if just for a moment, toward fulfilling their visions—like attending a concert or seeing a movie with their idols. It brought a splash of color into an otherwise bleak life.
All of this is rooted in neuroscience, specifically the RAS (Reticular Activating System). This system plays a key role in the brain's ability to focus on specific thoughts and turn them into reality. The RAS is a network of neurons in the brainstem that acts as a filter for incoming information. It determines what you pay attention to based on what your brain considers important.
If you want to move forward in life, start by reviewing your journey so far. Reflect on where you actually want to live, what you want to feel, and how you want to spend your days. Focus primarily on your feelings, not just on material objects. Once you have this clarity, you can dive straight into creating your vision board.
If you have the space and a preference for tangible things, creating a physical board is a beautiful ritual. You will have it constantly in sight, and whenever you find yourself at a crossroads, a single glance at it will remind you of the path you have chosen to take.
The same rules apply if you choose a digital board (using platforms like Canva or Pinterest). This option might appeal more to the younger generation. On the other hand, you won't have it constantly displayed right in front of your eyes, which means you might not return to it as often as would be beneficial.
In both cases, it is crucial to choose images and words that represent your authentic desires. Make sure to completely forget about other people's dreams. When it comes to words, focus on short, positively framed sentences that you can mindfully repeat to yourself. The goal of this is to rewire your thought patterns. The most effective affirmations are the honest ones—those that resonate deeply with you and speak directly to your soul.
Images, of course, carry immense visual power. You should curate and place them onto your vision board without any rush, with deep intention. For instance, you can turn it into a cozy ritual, playing with your layout by a crackling fireplace with a cup of high-quality tea. Choose goals that are achievable for you in the given period. Your images can reflect themes such as career, personal growth, family and relationships, health, or even finances and travel.
When creating your board, remember that it shouldn't be cluttered or overly decorated. Sometimes, less is more. It should be clear, meaningful, and realistic to you—designed in a way that truly inspires you to bring your goals to life.
Once your board is finished, you might wonder where to place a physical version. As mentioned before, it is best to keep it somewhere where you can see it frequently. Try looking at it every morning and evening, reflecting on what has already manifested, what lies ahead, and where your steps should lead next. You can hang it in your home office, bedroom, or place it on your desk. It all depends on your intuition and where it feels right for you.
Keep in mind that a vision board doesn't replace the actual work; it simply steers your steps in the right direction. On the other hand, when you focus intensely on a specific thought or goal, your Reticular Activating System flags related information in your surroundings and brings it into your conscious awareness. Once you start focusing on success, the RAS alerts you to opportunities and resources that can help you achieve it. There is no esoteric magic behind the Law of Attraction—it is built entirely on the classic mechanics of the human brain and neuroscience.
Each of us shapes our own reality, some consciously, others unconsciously. Therefore, it is truly time to understand how you can influence your life simply by changing your mindset and beliefs.
