Iâm going to guess that if youâve ever made a vision board, it looked a bit like a travel brochure or a perfect Pinterest feed.
Maybe there was a photo of a couple standing on the deck of an overwater bungalow, or someone doing yoga on a mountaintop. The images are aesthetically pleasing đ€©, but thereâs a noteworthy problem: youâre looking at them. Youâre an observer watching someone else live their life.
We’ve unintentionally created a dream board thatâs just windows into other people’s worlds.
I realized I did this myself with my last vision board. In January I added a photo of a yacht in beautiful, blue water, and later in the year I was on my friend’s porch in the Bahamas, looking out at yachts in beautiful, blue water. đ€Ż #yaymanifesting
The âissueâ (aka my champagne problem), is that when I had put the photo of the yacht on my vision board, I had imagined *I* was going to be on the yacht, but my vision board was just a photo OF a yacht.

Enter: a POV Vision Board. Itâs a specific way of choosing imagery that helps your brain believe your vision is possible. Manifesting hack unlocked.
POV stands for Point of View. Instead of looking at a stock photo of a happy couple, the goal is to see what you would see if you were actually there.
If youâre on that yacht, you aren’t seeing yourself from afar. Youâre standing on the deck, looking out at the ocean, and seeing your own hand holding theirs on the railing.
This shift turns your vision into YOUR lived experience.
When you look at your board, you should feel like youâre looking through your own lens at a life youâve already stepped into.
So tell me, when you close your eyes and look through your own “POV” lens right now, whatâs one specific thing youâd see? Is it your hands on the steering wheel of a Porsche? Is it the view of your backyard where your dogs are safely running around? Is it a sea of faces because youâre on stage delivering a TED Talk?
Comment below and describe that one shot to me. Iâd love to know what you see!
Cheering for you,
Nicole
