How to Transform Your Christmas Tree into a Vision and Intentions Board

Hi, I’m Juhh!

The end of the year isn’t just a time for celebration but also for reflection. What if we could elevate this tradition by making our Christmas tree a reflection of our dreams, desires, and intentions for the coming year?

In this article, I want to show you how to transform your Christmas tree into an inspiring Vision and Intention Board.

Take some time to reflect on your goals

Before you start transforming your Christmas tree, it’s essential to take a quiet moment for reflection. After all, our dreams and intentions are a crucial part of who we are and where we want to go. So, create an environment that encourages your reflection: light a scented candle, play a calming playlist, settle into a cozy spot, and give yourself time to be with your thoughts. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and dive into your aspirations.

Ask yourself:

• What are my personal, professional, and spiritual goals for the coming year? The beginning of a new cycle is an opportunity to set goals in all areas of life.
• What would I like to manifest in my life? Visualize your desires and how they will positively impact your journey.
• What are my deepest desires? Go beyond surface-level goals and explore the deepest wishes of your heart.

This reflection is like planting the seeds of your dreams, preparing the ground for what will come next. Now, let’s discover how to turn this vision into reality on your Christmas tree.

Using Acrylic Ornaments as Dream Frames

1. Transform Acrylic Ornaments into Mini Dream Frames

One of the most charming ways to infuse your dreams and intentions into your Christmas tree is by using acrylic ornaments. Inside each ornament, place images that represent your dreams and goals. This not only makes your tree unique but also serves as a constant reminder of your wishes and aspirations.

When creating my Dream Board, I like to gather images related to my dreams on a Pinterest board. Look for images where you can imagine yourself, such as silhouettes resembling you or people with similar traits. It could be a photo of a dream travel destination, the cover of a book you want to write, or any other image that represents your aspirations. This greatly aids in the visualization process.

Choose transparent acrylic ornaments, which come in various sizes and are available for purchase online. Make sure they are large enough to accommodate the images you choose, so they are clearly visible on your tree.

Print the selected images, cut them to the appropriate size, and place them inside the acrylic ornaments. If you need to edit the image size, you can use Canva, which is quite user-friendly.

You can also use Canva to decorate your images, add phrases to them, or even create affirmations to include inside your acrylic ornaments.

Place the acrylic ornaments with your images in strategic spots on the tree so that you can see them clearly. Every time you look at them, you’ll be reminded of your dreams and goals!

2. The Importance of Images

Images are an excellent tool to help you stay focused on achieving your goals. They can inspire, motivate, and serve as a visual reminder of what you wish to achieve. By carefully selecting images that represent your dreams, you create a tangible reminder of your intentions for the coming year. Each glance at these acrylic ornaments will remind you of your objectives, encouraging your determination and motivating you to take action toward achieving your goals.

3. Write Positive Messages

As mentioned earlier, you can also add positive messages to your Christmas decorations. In addition to images, incorporating positive messages and affirmations into your acrylic ornaments creates an inspiring atmosphere on your Christmas tree. These messages act as reminders that you are capable of realizing your dreams.

Besides writing these phrases using Canva, you can also write affirmations manually, adding even more of your personal energy to your holiday vision board. Cut papers to the desired size, choose colorful pens, and write your messages with care.

Writing is a way to clarify your goals and manifest your aspirations. Take some time to create affirmations that match your dreams and intentions. For instance, if your goal is to travel more, your affirmation might be: “I am grateful for the amazing travels that are coming my way.”

Now, simply add your affirmations and intentions to the acrylic ornaments and place them on your Christmas tree. Choose spots where the affirmations stand out and can be easily read.

4. Visualize Your Intentions

Affirmations are more than just written words; they are declarations of your determination to achieve your goals. Each time you read an affirmation on your Christmas tree, take a moment to visualize what it represents. Close your eyes and imagine yourself experiencing that achievement. Feel the joy, gratitude, and fulfillment as if your wish has already come true. This practice not only strengthens your intention but also nurtures your belief in your ability to make your dreams a reality.

By putting your intentions on paper, you are formalizing your commitment to work towards these goals. This practice also allows you to release any doubts, fears, or resistance associated with your dreams. As you write and insert your intentions into the acrylic ornaments, you are taking a courageous step toward realizing your desires.

5. Find Inspiration on Pinterest

Pinterest is a valuable source of visual inspiration, brimming with images that can represent your dreams and aspirations. It’s like a treasure trove of ideas waiting to be discovered.

• Create a Pinterest Account: If you don’t already have one, creating a Pinterest account is easy and free. Just provide your email address and create a password.
• Search for Keywords Related to Your Goals: Use keywords that reflect your desires, such as “travel,” “personal growth,” or “health.” Pinterest will show you a variety of images related to these themes.
• Save the Most Resonant Images to Your Vision Board: Create a virtual vision board where you can save all the inspiring images you find. This will make it easier to access and refer to them later.

6. Edit with Canva

After gathering a variety of inspiring images on Pinterest, you can further customize them using Canva, a free and user-friendly online design platform.

• Access Canva: Visit www.canva.com and create an account if you don’t already have one.
• Upload Your Saved Pinterest Images: In Canva, you can upload the images you saved to your vision board directly to the platform.
• Use Canva’s Editing Tools: Canva offers a range of editing tools that allow you to personalize your images. You can add text, adjust colors, create collages, and more.
• Create Customized Images: Use Canva to create images that uniquely represent your dreams. You can add text with your affirmations or even create a digital vision board.

Now that your images are ready, you can print them and use them in the acrylic ornaments on your Christmas tree, making them even more meaningful and aligned with your personal goals.

This Christmas, create a tree that not only celebrates the festive season but also serves as a constant reminder of your dreams and intentions. By transforming acrylic ornaments into dream frames, adding positive messages and affirmations, and writing down your intentions, you are giving new meaning to this tradition. Exploring Pinterest for inspiration and personalizing your images with Canva makes this creative process even more personal.

Remember, your dreams deserve to be celebrated, nurtured, and realized. Each time you look at your Christmas tree transformed into a Vision and Intentions Board, you’ll be connecting with your goals in a meaningful way. May this holiday season be a time of personal growth, dream manifestation, and, above all, a moment of love and celebration.
