With the new year approaching, there’s always that invisible feeling of a fresh start. A chance to reset, dream again, and set new goals and intentions for the new year.
Creating a vision board is a cute and intentional way to visually map out what you’re believing for, working toward, and praying over in 2026.
Whether you’re making a physical board or a digital one; these 2026 vision board ideas will help guide you to dream and create actionable and well rounded goals.
Faith and Values: The Foundation of Your 2026 Vision Board
When creating your 2026 vision board, starting with faith and values sets the tone for everything else you place on it. Before focusing on achievements or milestones, invite God into your goal making and vision board process. Pray over your life and the desires of your heart, pray for God to align your goals with his plans and purposes for you. That way, you’re able to move into the new year knowing that your steps are being guided by God.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. (Proverbs 16:3)
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. (Philippians 2:13)
Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil (Psalms 119:133)
Health & Wellness Goals for Your 2026 Vision Board
From drinking more water to going to the gym and at-home spa nights; think about what supports your whole self: body, mind, and soul.
Physical Health Goals
Include images or words that represent:
- Exercise routines you enjoy

Mental Wellness Goals
Mental health is just as important as your physical health. So include some images or words that align with that. You can include things such as:
- Reading and studying the Bible
- Therapy or counseling intentions

Emotional Wellness & How You Want to Feel
Instead of focusing only on what you’ll do, think about how you want to feel day to day. For example, living with the fruit of the Spirit (love, peace, and joy…) is a beautiful emotional intention that you can include on your 2026 vision board.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (Galatians 5:22)

How to Create a Vision Board
When creating a vision board, you can choose to make either a physical vision board or a digital vision board. It really just depends on what works best for you.
For a physical vision board, you can gather magazines or find images online and print them out. Grab some scissors, a large poster board, and start cutting out pictures that inspire you. Then, add them to your poster to create a cute and fun collage that visually represents your goals and intentions.
Another option is creating a digital vision board. Personally, I love doing a digital one because I can keep it on all of my devices and look back at it more frequently. You also don’t have to spend money on materials like posters, magazines, or paper, which makes it super convenient.
With a digital vision board, you can find images online and use platforms like Canva to gather all of your pictures and create a cute collage. Once you’re done, you can save the design to your photo gallery, use it as your phone or laptop wallpaper, or simply keep it somewhere you’ll see often.
At the end of the day, it’s all about how you want to visualize your goals and what will help you stay inspired and motivated.
