Every year I take two weeks off at the end of December to create a vision board! It has evolved into a couple vision boards for different areas in my life.
Some people see the vision board concept as a fairy tale type of thing, I see it as a place to organize your goals, set intentions, and stay on track, every time you look at it!
Growing up in South America, one of my goals is to keep my culture alive in my home and in everything I do because it is a part of who I am – a Latina!
Today I will share my process and a step-by-step tutorial so you can build your board! I am highlighting the health and wellness part of my life, having as a center thought the idea of being even more active as the main goal for the new year.
I know life gets in the way, that happened to me in 2016! But I wanted to share my secret to moving forward, even when I’m not feeling too well: Advil
Advil is my solution to minor pains and aches that potentially slow me down. Its relief is tough on pain and long-lasting, to allow me to continue to enjoy life and to do the things I love with mi familia y amigos! For some people, Advil may not come close to getting rid of the pain they are experiencing so they look to other ways that can help them get over a bout of pain coursing through their body, for example, the use of CBD öl (CBD oil), has been known to soothe some pain in people, similar to natural-based supplements, especially if they do not want to go the medicated route. But Advil for me is the best thing with my lifestyle.
You know how busy my lifestyle is, so working out and eating right has to be an effort for me. I grew up eating home-cooked meals every day, prepared by mi Mamá (my mom)! Keeping that tradition is one of my goals for 2017 because home-cooked meals provide a healthier lifestyle and open the door to bring my favorite dishes to my family.
Living with passion and energy for life are Latino traits that I proudly carry with me, as part of my herencia (heritage). I strongly feel that Advil Tablets provide tough pain relief that aligns with my lifestyle as a passionate Latina, helping me to continue doing all the things that are important to me and those around me.
As Latinos we often have to do more – you know that busy is my name! I run a social media management business, I’m an influencer, and attend several conferences and events on behalf of brands all over the country. When my body is telling me to slow down or that occasional headache bothers me, Advil has been my trusted source for more than 10 years to make sure I can keep going, adelante (moving forward), because nothing is proven faster, stronger or longer-lasting on even your toughest pain!!*Among OTC brands. *Use as directed.
My tutorial is more than a vision, it is my inner core desire to live a better active and busy lifestyle, while preserving my Latina culture, not letting it get diluted in the rush of the daily grind.
Let’s get started!
Vision Board Tutorial
Step 1
I start with a picture I’ll make, as seen above. This picture will guide my focus area for the year. The next year for me is all about getting even healthier, remember? So I will concentrate on my fitness and nutrition goals, as well as things that improve my overall well being, such as meditating in the morning.
I always add words that bring me home. For me, adding Latin words is like reaching my core, who I really am. So my vision boards always have words in Spanish and Portuguese! After all, it’s all about preserving my Latino culture, even with my busy lifestyle!
Step 2
Since I am planning on a more active routine, step 2 is to find visuals and pictures representing steps I need to take to reach my main goals! I look for pictures in magazines, stickers, anything that is aligned with my goals!
Step 3
I look for new supplies and embellishments to add a nice touch to my new board. Walmart is my go to place to find them!
Step 4
I add strong elements that tie into my big goals and small steps or that just give strength to my overall message. This year, I’m also adding some items I’ve brought from a recent trip to Brazil. Those ribbons are believed to bring luck and prosperity and bless goals and wishes, so I am adding them as a powerful reminder that dreams do come true.
Step 5
I add rewards, always keeping my eye on the prize. This year, I want to reward myself with a trip to a spa for the weekend and a shopping spree for new workout outfits, once I reach my weight-loss/fitness goals.
Step 6
My most important tip is that there is no right or wrong, so have fun!! You are painting a picture on a blank canvas, writing a new chapter in your life. How you would like it to be? Get ready to let your inner light shine!!
I’ve decided to concentrate my vision board on my health, but you can use it for many different goals, such as:
Business
Vacation
Dream Home
Dream Partner
There are so many key goals, the sky is the limit!
I can hear your question: “Does this stuff work?” Absolutely! 85% of the goals and steps listed on my vision board last year came true, some I had no idea how I would manifest them! Some happened even bigger and better than I envisioned!
There is power in setting your intention and acting on it!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my vision board ideas and that they inspired you to also live and enjoy an active life and how Advil is a great tool to allow me to continue doing the things I love to do. (Not letting pain stop me from enjoying mi vida (my life)!)
Walmart is always my go to place to find all the items I need for the project above and always the best place to pick up my Advil, when needed! I’m always stocking up on it! You can also buy it here: Advil

Let’s end the year with a toast to new visions and brighter beginnings! Salud!
I’m doing it. Thanks for the guidance and inspiration. We can do this! I love the idea of rewards too. I never thought of that.
It’s been SO long since I made a vision board. What a great idea to help get myself pumped for the new year!
It’s so nice to have a stock of this in your house especially for my headache and good for travelling also
Oh em gee, I’ve never made or seen a vision board before. I’d love to create one for myself. Now Advil on the other hand is something I’m familiar with. I couldn’t make it through the day with my back pain, without it.
I’m decorating my new office and I’m going to create a vision board or three as well for different areas of my life. – yolonda
I always keep advil in the home and at my work desk. I have never done a vision board but think I might need to try doing one!
I think vision boards are amazing! I used to do that in college, maybe I need to start doing it again. It motivates you while you also never lose track of your goals!
This is an awesome vision board! I love making these for the New Year – it really does help a lot! I think it helps to make you more accountable too. Great post!
Advil is in our cabinet at all times. It helps with everything and I wouldn’t have anything else!
I love your goals. I am planning on continuing my weight loss journey. It was put on a hiatus for a few months, I was dealing with some things at home and needed the break. Thankfully, I have held my weight despite my crazy binges with the holidays.
I always have advil handy in our home. It is the only thing that works for me!
Having your goals visual and close by is so important!!! These are great ideas for a vision board!
Advil works wonders on my aches and pain. Especially when I have a heartache. You go girl, I love your visions for the new year.
I made the mistake of keeping my vision board in the closet last year. Not this time! I need to focus! Advil is the number pain medication I turn to if I’m feeling sore after a work out or have that nasty headache that won’t go away!
A vision board for 2017 is a great idea. It can gives you incentive every time you look at it to achieve your goals for the year. I will have to share this idea with my sons who are both unsure of what they are going to do for careers. Thanks for sharing the idea and info.
I never had a vision board before but it sounds great. I think having your visions clear when the year starts could really help you be in the right direction and focus on your goals! Will have to try this!
Such a thoughtful post. Thanks for the inspiration as 2016 winds down and the new year begins. Everyone needs to create a vision board, great idea.
I love vision boards. I’ve never made one myself though. I love to see what everyone comes up with. I should definitely make one for the new year!
I love the idea of making and using vision boards, and the new year is the perfect time for it! There are some great tips here, thanks for sharing.
Having a vision board is a great idea. It will definitely be a great motivator when you can see your goals every day.
Such a great idea. I need to make a vision board for 2017. And Advil always comes to my rescue.
Great idea! I want to make a vision board for 2017! Advil is a lifesaver for me so I can accomplish all my goals when I have aches and pains.
I need to make a vision board. I’m still working on what my word of the year is!
I always make sure I have some Advil in my purse. You never know when you will need it. I think a vision board is a great idea.
My biggest goal that I have never done, but decided to is try a personal trainer. Its a gift to myself and something I need for my health. So far is a lot of work, but she said it will be worth it and I have a feeling it will! Happy New Year!
This is a neat idea. I’ve never done a vision board before but believe in positivity, and knowing and saying you’ll accomplish something will lead you in that direction. I think seeing a vision board every day would help with that.
I used to have a vision board up at all time, but haven’t since we moved to Idaho. I really need to work on a new one.
I think a vision board is a great tool. My Daughter and I do one every year. I like having the visual reminder of my goals.
Last year about this time I said I was going to make a vision board and I never got around to it. I’m so glad I came across this post. I have a bit of down time scheduled next week and think I’ll work on this.
I do too love the idea of a vision board. I need to take some time to make one for myself with my goals and such.
I have never used a vision board. Sounds like an interesting concept. Might be a fun thing to try.
Vision boards are my jam – making mine next week! Advil is also a must, especially when you chase toddlers all day like me!
I love how long Advil lasts! I have a new vision for 2017 too, hope I can achieve it!
Thank you for laying out your step-by-step process. I really need to do this.
I really should do this. I have a terrible time getting my head on straight for the year, and I think your strategy could really help me get to where I want to be for the year.
I love this! A couple of weeks of to recharge and get your head in the right place is a great asset to getting yourself on the right track.
What a cool way to keep yourself inspired. I know lots of people do vision boards and I think it’s awesome. I think I need to try this to help me stay focus.
We always have a bottle of Advil handy in our kitchen cabinet. Don’t need a resolution to know we’ll need it in 2017!
Getting back in shape and fitness is definitely one of my goals for 2017. I may have to take after you and put together a Vision Board too! Great idea.
Now you’ve got me thinking. I am happy with all areas of my life right now, so I need to figure out what needs improvement for next year so I can do a vision board.
