7 2023 MOOD BOARD CATEGORIES FOR YOUR DREAM LIFE
1.LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS
Love and relationships can involve romantic relationships, family, friendships, and social support. To love and be loved is one of the needs of man, as well as a sense of belonging.
Studies show that people who have strong social support systems live longer and have greater quality of life. Friends and family can help us cope with problems in life, manage stress, and solve problems. This makes our lives easier, which can help prevent and reduce signs of anxiety and depression.
Romantic relationships have also been reported to boost the quality of life, improve our self-esteem, promote heightened emotional support, and satisfy our need for physical and emotional intimacy.
However, it must be noted that healthy relationships bring about these benefits, and do not apply to abusive and toxic relationships we have with family members, friends, and significant others.
Create a love and relationship mood board for your 2023 goals. We’ve written a couple of articles on the topic, which you can find here and here. Collect images of couples in love, families, and healthy friendships for this mood board.
2.HEALTH AND WELLNESS

This category is at the top of the list, which tells you a lot about the general health status of most people. This means most people overlook their health, which comes from unhealthy eating habits, living a sedentary lifestyle, and engaging in lifestyle choices that are ultimately bad for the body.
Create your 2023 health and wellness mood board by including pictures of people exercising, eating well, and taking care of their health. You can also include pictures and words of self-care, such as going to a spa, doing activities that you enjoy, or simply having a relaxing day at home.

Having a sense of purpose and productivity is important for many people. Having the dream job, getting that promotion, having a successful business, being famous in their chosen career, earning a higher education, and other forms of self-development are some of the most important goals for any human being.
Being able to achieve something out of your hard work, intelligence, skills, and talents contribute to your overall sense of self, confidence, and self-esteem. All of these are important in finding purpose and meaning in life.
For your 2023 career and personal growth mood board, use images that reflect success and achievement. You can also include a diploma, a certificate of completion, and other images or words that represent success in career or personal development.

LOCKE’S GOAL-SETTING THEORY TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR 2023 MOOD BOARDS
Creating mood boards is fun and exciting but we believe a theory of motivation can help you to create better goals.
We’ve also written a useful article on goal-setting, which can be found here. We presented a few tips on how to make goals and achieve them, but here’s a theory we believe can also help you achieve your 2023 goals.
Locke and Latham created their Goal-Setting Theory in 1990, and it is an integrative model of motivation. They believe that goals are key determinants of behavior, so how you craft your goals is essential to motivate you to take action.
Here are the things you need to remember when making goals, depending on Locke’s Goal-Setting Theory:
- Make your goals challenging but attainable. Goals that are too easy or too difficult won’t motivate you to act.
- Set specific and measurable goals. This way, you can measure your progress toward your goal.
- Goal commitment is important. You need to be focused and committed to achieving your goals. Make your goals important and life-changing, as if it were a matter of life and death.
- Prepare supportive elements in your goal-making journey. If you want to lose weight, buy exercise equipment and get rid of junk food in your pantry. If you want to buy a new car, start saving and start looking at car dealerships near you.
- Create motivation milestones. If you want to lose weight, how many pounds do you want to shed in 1 month? Give yourself bonuses for each milestone you achieve. Give yourself feedback or have an accountability partner.
Use these tips to help you achieve your 2023 mood board goals. You can also integrate the goal-setting techniques we recommend in this article.
Mood boards can help you stay motivated, inspired, and excited to finally achieve your dream life this 2023.
Get started today and begin creating the life you want to attract.
