The Power of Visual Manifestation

May Through Mood Boards: A Visual Diary of My Month

Jun 04, 2026

Over brunch this morning, my friend Chloe and I found ourselves talking about manifestation. It was honestly more of this energetic word vomit of how much we loved it. We shared stories about how our dreams became a reality, some as small as a visiting a holiday destination or some as major as landing our dream jobs.

I found myself referencing my Pinterest boards a lot. When I scroll back through these “vision boards” I created years ago, I am shocked by how many of those images now resemble moments in my own camera roll.

For as long as I can remember, I have been pinning images that speak to my concept of the future. I’ve always had a 5-10 year vision board and smaller yearly ones. But recently, I’ve started curating mood boards for the week ahead.

My close friends know the drill.

Every Monday I post my “MONDAY MOODBOARD”, a collection of pins that have inspired me for the week ahead.

It’s ritualistic. There’s something powerful about curating images that speak to me whether goals or mindset I want to adopt.

Through this practice, you begin to gain clarity on what genuinely excites you and what you naturally gravitate toward. As you look at images together, themes start to emerge. I have pinned plenty of wine bars and hiking images, so naturally those become priorities in my life - I organise wine nights with the girls and schedule in evening walks.

I guess this is what I love most about the practice. It’s rarely about the aesthetics of the home or the outfits themselves, but rather what they reveal about who we are and what we’re longing for. Even when you can’t quite articulate a goal, images can offer a glimpse of that feeling you’re chasing.
