New Year, New Blog
Prologue
The year is 4046. The forsaken civilization you’re reading from had long ago fallen due to an avoidable climate crisis. The only inhabitants capable of surviving were the mechanical offspring of “The Final War”, which were the A.I.S.B., (Artificial Intelligence Soldier Bots). Along with a surprisingly impressive line of doomsdayers, and a group of elite nepo babies who fled to space for 300 years until it was safe to return to Earth. The data you are transcribing is from “Bri-Bot”, a 21st century blogger who transferred her soul into her iPhone 67 to remind modern-day Earth civilians of a now lost relic of the past: Vision Boards.
The Art of Vision Boards
Something about aesthetically piecing together my goals for the New Year with glue sticks and past Vogue editions makes me genuinely enter flow-state. Especially since my high-vibrational girlfriends join me in this special process. The energy of the picture I’ve just painted is an art in itself, but the actual act is such an intentional and intimate form of manifestation. Because of this, it’s almost impossible not to succeed at least one of your New Year’s vision board objectives.
Below you’ll see my 2025 Vision Board.
2025 Vision Board, “Art”.
The overall theme was “Art”, and my intent was to become more in touch with my creative side. Specifically with writing, photography, and amateur videography. I indubitably dabbled in all categories, but I found my proudest success in writing. Starting Brain in Heels has been my favorite outcome of my 2025 Vision Board. My blog initiated a domino effect on my other creative goals, too. To get eyes on my blog, I had to produce promotional content, like photo and video editing. On top of this, I have written a novel’s worth of poems and have begun a typewriter collection, which has ignited a newfound passion and has become a beloved hobby that I take much pride in. Bask in the beauty of my growing typewriter collection below.
New age typewriter. First in my collection. (Christmas gift from mom, thanks mom!)
Brother Charger 11, 1982. (Sourced from a talented and inspiring local collector, thank you madam!) I’ve named this one “Blue Bird”, fitting—right?
Royal King 1935. Imported from England. (Christmas present from dad, thanks dad!) This one’s name is “Queen Elizabeth”.
How To Make A Vision Board
Now, enough about me. If you’ve read this far, I take it that you’re interested in creating your own vision board for 2026. I’ll teach you two ways to do this, one is physical and will possibly require some inexpensive purchases, and the other is digital and free of cost.
Physical Vision Board
Supplies Needed:
Cardboard foundation. Size and shape is your own discretion. (I usually do rectangular, but I’ve had friends do circular boards and they turned out really cool and abstract!)
Magazines. The more the merrier!
Scissors.
Glue stick.
That’s about everything you need, however, you can get creative and use items like stickers and self print-outs, too! Since the physical board doesn’t have the luxury of an “undo” button, I recommend before adding glue to lay down the pieces you want on the board and start creating a rough draft of your layout. Voilà! With only a couple paper-cuts and mildly sticky-glue fingers, you have created your own piece of wall decor and manifested your goals for the New Year.
Digital Vision Board
The less messy of the two options is the Digital Vision Board. For this, you’ll just need one thing: Pinterest! (And an electronic device to login to Pinterest, of course. If you’re reading this, I imagine you’ve got all the tools you need.) On your Pinterest app, you can make collages for free ninety-nine.
How to make a Pinterest Collage:
From the Home Screen, press the (+) button.
Select “Collage”.
Search specific images, or the vibe of the goal you’re trying to evoke with the word “aesthetic” at the end.
Adjust your layers as needed, and even add text like “2026 Vision Board” with a personalized font.
Simply save your collage and download it to your photo library once you’re happy with it. I have a friend who makes hers the lock-screen on her phone for the year and I love that idea because it leads to daily manifestation, as well as an aesthetic screen saver!
Cheers
The act of creating a vision board is pretty easy, but choosing to take inspiration from it to succeed in your resolutions for the New Year is the hard part. Having a constant reminder of what you hope to achieve is a great motivator and form of manifestation. I wish you all a very lucky and limitless New Year, and I hope all your dreams come true (preferably way before the A.I.S.B. takeover)!
