We’ve all heard the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” If you’ve gazed at a beautiful photograph or painting and felt a deep physical or emotional reaction, there’s a reason for this response. Research shows that images have the power to change our emotional state and behavior. Incredible!
Following this science, you can use images to help your body, mind, and spirit embrace wellness in 2026. And we’ve got the perfect tool for the job — one that can set you up for greater success.
This month’s challenge is all about visualizing your healthiest self — with a vision board. A vision board holds a collage of images and affirmations that represent a goal you wish to achieve. You can create a vision board for any aspect of your life you’d like to improve or enhance.
Using vision boards can boost your success by:
-
Helping you clarify your intentions
-
Keeping your goal in focus and top of mind
During this 10 day challenge, you’ll set intentions, choose powerful imagery, create a board that inspires you, and take steps to make your goals a reality.

How are you doing in the challenge?
I am trying my best to cut off my carbs intake. I drink enough water, at least 3 liters each days
I have taken a lot of gym progress pictures.
@Pratima Awesome! Being able to visualize the change is so beneficial!
I have created a plan to eat healthy by not buying junk food and drinking smoothies instead for breakfast.
I started this the other week, I have been taking gym progress pictures.
@Mike M Progress pictures are such a great idea!
I started today, learning to put my vision board together and having my friend me with my board
I’ve never made a vision board, but have been doing well. It’s easier for me to work towards goals if I can see them in front of me as a reminder.
I am excited for this challenge. Vision boards have really helped me in the past to visualize my goals and keep striving to obtain them.
I really enjoy making vision boards. I am one that has to set a goal with specific expectations. When I do this I tend to be more determined to complete them because I have set a challenge for myself.
@LisaS RN I'm excited for this too! I actually haven't made one before, so I think this will be really cool!
I recently started weight loss injections to help drop weight that I cannot otherwise get off by diet and the limited exercise I am allowed to do due to injury
I have always pushed myself to exercise This year I am listening to my body more - Deb Stuart
