Last weekend my 11 year old daughter asked for a pin board. She told me that she had tried to create a vision board using online to put as her laptop wallpaper, but she just couldn’t get excited about any image she put on it.
Some of us are more visual and need to physically see our vision boards displayed in front of us to feel connected. I thought the pin board idea was genius, so much so that i am going to create one myself next week!
Let’s turn a regular pin board or cork board into a living creation of your manifestations ✨
Why a physical vision board work better than digital
While digital vision boards seem more convenient, a physical vision board activates your space like art work. It influences your subconscious mind on a deeper level.
In Feng Shui, your environment should always be speaking to you in ways that make a positive impact.
A vision board placed intentionally:
Reinforces your goals visually and energetically.
Keeps your intentions anchored in the present moment.
Acts as a reminder of progress, not just future desires.
Think of it as vision + evidence.

How to create a vision board using a pin board
1. Choose the right pin board base.
Always choose a pin board that feels elevated and intentional.
Linen or fabric covered cork boards emit feminine energy.
Neutral tones like beige, blush, or white bring calm.
Boards with strong frames add a touch of structure and organization. They also help to keep the energy contained.
2. Select images that create emotion within you.
Many of us choose vision board images that look pretty but they don’t create positive emotions.
Choose images that represent:
The feeling of your dream life.
The lifestyle you want to live.
People who embody the energy you desire.
Words or affirmations that resonate with you and who you want to become.

3. Add proof of progress (the secret sauce)
Here is what transforms a vision board into things that actually manifest.
✨ Pin your achievements.
Printed screenshots of income milestones.
Thank you notes or positive reviews.
Certificates, awards, or grades.
Photos of you from proud moments.
Feng Shui loves evidence and so does your subconscious. It tells us that “this is already working”.
4. Use pins with intention.
Yes, even the little details matter.
Gold pins are luxurious and abundant.
Crystal pins carry energy.
Pink pins for love.
Red pins for fire and action energy.
Green pins for some grounded energy.
Black pins for career luck energy.
Avoid bent and broken pins and clips.

Where to place your pin board for good Feng Shui
Placement is everything. Here is where to place your pin board using the Bagua map. You can also make multiple boards and place them in each area.
The Southeast for Wealth and abundance.
Best for money goals, business growth, self worth, and receiving.
Place your pin board here if your goals focus on financial expansion, dream lifestyle, and career success.
✨ Add a small crystal or plant near it to activate the energy.
The southwest for love, romance, and self worth.
Best for relationships, Self love, and feminine energy.
Place your pin board here if your goals include romantic visions, marriage, and confidence.
The west for future creative projects.
Best for content creators, artists, and new projects.
If your board has images of what you are building and working towards, this is a powerful spot.
Include images of brands you want to work with or magazines you want to be featured in.
The South for fame and recognition.
If your goals involve being recognized for what you do, place your board in the south.
The office.
Displaying your pin board in your office is great way to see it everyday. It will also help motivate you to spend time in your office and will help to connect you to why you do the work you do.
Where to avoid placing your pin board:
Bathrooms (energy drains)
Closets (hidden intentions)
Near clutter and garbage bins
Behind doors
Your dreams should be seen and honored, not hidden away.

Your new pin board ritual
Spend at least 30 seconds looking at your board.
This is a powerful way to connect to your goals everyday.
You can do this in the morning as soon as you get up, or right before you go to bed (or both!)
