#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

Making a vision board can be a fun and creative way to map out what we want for ourselves and our future. What exactly is it? Vision boards can be digital (like Pinterest) or an old fashioned cork board, but it’s essentially a collage of words and images that reflect a person’s dreams and aspirations.

Of course, like goals, it’s totally OK if some of the things we put on our vision boards change over time; the key is to explore what it is we want, need, and desire and put it all together in one place. It can even be a nice, cathartic exercise to take our mind off things in the present!

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks would add a small map of her city and pinpoint the places she wants to go by herself, with family, or with friends, as well as sprinkling in positive words to symbolize motivation, self-care reminders for herself to continue moving forward, and images to represent personal goals that she has.

If you were to create a vision board right now, what would you add to it?

We’ll be exploring the theme of 🌟dreams🌟 for this week’s self-care challenge, Mighties!

To start us off, let’s reflect about what we often daydream about. Perhaps it’s a place you want to travel to, an experience you want to have, or even something you want to accomplish or fulfill in your lifetime.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks often finds herself daydreaming about the experiences she wants to have (like making new friends!) or planning fun events with her family.

What about you?
