How to Create an Intention Board
The How to Create an Intention Board Worksheet is a reflective, creative tool designed to help individuals focus on how they want to feel and the experiences they want to cultivate in their lives. Unlike traditional goal-setting or vision boards, intention boards emphasize values, emotional awareness, and flexibility. This worksheet guides users through a gentle, step-by-step process for identifying intentions and expressing them visually in a way that supports emotional well-being and self-awareness.
How to Use This Worksheet
This worksheet can be used in therapy sessions, workshops, or for self-guided reflection. Begin by inviting reflection rather than goal-setting. Before choosing any images or words, pause to consider how you want to feel in different areas of your life, such as work, relationships, rest, or personal growth.
If specific outcomes come to mind first (for example, a certain job or external milestone), gently shift the focus to the underlying feeling or value, such as security, purpose, connection, or ease. An intention board is meant to reflect desired experiences and emotional states, not a fixed end result.
As you move through the worksheet, select images, words, or symbols that represent these feelings and values. There is no “right” outcome — the process is about curiosity and self-reflection rather than achievement. Revisit and update the intention board over time, especially during periods of change or stress, as intentions naturally evolve with personal growth.
