1. Trailer: Rethink vision board. First off, I don't even call it a vision
board very often anymore. Something about death's term
feels a bit too Who with me. Like I'm supposed to paste some dream house on there and
just wait for the universe. To deliver it to my doorstep. Instead, I like to call it an action board or a goal board. Because it isn't
just about dreaming. It's about doing.
In this course, I will walk you
through how to design a gold board that's not only inspiring but also actionable. We will dive into your dreams,
use beautiful visuals, and turn them into
something you will want to look at
every single day. Whether you're a Canva
newbie or a seasoned prey, you will live with a vision
board that is uniquely yours, and you will live with the
clarity and confidence to start turning those
dreams into reality. It's not just a cute interest you think people do for fun. In my opinion,
it's about keeping your focus sharp and
your motivation alive. When you can see your
goals every day, they stay alive in your mind. And the easiest and
most fun to do that? Yes. Canva. Let's do this.
2. Our Class Project: Class project. Make it yours and share a
piece of your vision. Alright, let's talk about
the real MVP of this course. You actually doing the thing. Because, listen,
learning is great. Watching tutorials also fun, but nothing changes unless you actually put
this into action. That's why this class
project exists to make sure you don't just
walk away with ideas, but with something real, personal and uniquely yours. Because your vision board
is not about aesthetics. It's not about making
the prettiest clash or the most pints worthy design. It's all about your goals, your dreams, and the version of yourself you are
working towards. And the most important thing, it has to feel right to you. So what to do? By the end of the course, I want you to share
a small piece of your vision board in
the class project section. It doesn't have to
be the whole thing. No, it will be too personal. I know you will feel like
you are sharing too much, so I won't ask you to do that. Just one section, one
little piece that feels important to you and the one you want
to share with me. It could be only one quote
that anchors your vision, an image that represents
your big goal, a color palette that
reflects the energy you want this year to and
this is important. Don't overthink it. There
is no wrong way to do that. Just share a snapshot of something that means
something to you. Share one screenshot of
one part of your vision, bird of your Goldberd. Why this matters. I'm sure there's something very, very powerful about putting a part of your vision out into the world because
it's like telling yourself and telling the world. I'm serious about this. I'm committed, and
I know, I know. It can feel a little
vulnerable to share it. But remember, this place is a space of support,
not judgment. We are all here for
the same reason to create something
that keeps us focused, inspired, and moving forward. So pose your piece. Let us know what you
are working towards. And if you are up for it, share a little insight in the
discussion section as well. What's the most important
goal on your part? How do you want this vision, this Glbird to make
you feel every day?
3. Why Vision Boards Work: Why vision boards work. The only limit to your impact is your imagination and
commitment, Tony Robbins. Okay, when I first heard
about vision boards, I thought really cutting out
magazine pictures or saving those fancy pictures
from pinterest and pasting them is going
to change my life. It sounded like something you do at a sleepover when you are 15. Not a serious strategy for achieving goals.
But here is the thing. When I finally gave it a try, I think, now I can say, now I'm sure it completely shifted the way I
approached my goals. Yes, I was a little bit skeptical to admit
it at the beginning, but now I can say I'm fully aware of this confession because I realize
something powerful. That seeing your dreams every day does something
to your brain. It helps you be focused,
keeps you focused. It keeps you motivated. And most importantly, it keeps your goals alive in a way that
writing them down doesn't. Let me share a quick story. Personal story. So
a couple years ago, I felt only stuck. I had goals, big
goals, and big dreams. But they were just words in
a notebook a little bit. And they were so easy to
forget when life got busy. And that was probably when I
made my first vision board. It was messy and kind of random. But there it was right above my desk, and it
looked like this. And every time I look at it, it reminded me what I
was working forward. And guess what?
Slowly but surely, I started making progress
towards these dreams. It wasn't magic. No,
no, it wasn't magic. But sometimes when
I think about it, it kind of kind
of feels like it. But it didn't happen
in some magical way. I just put the
work because I was looking at my dreams at
my vision every day, and it was just motivating
me to keep going and to find time to do those
baby steps towards the goal. The science behind Vision Bs. This isn't just about
vibes, wishful thinking. There is an actual science
behind why vision boards work. When you visualize something, your brain treats it almost like it's real, like
it's happening. It activates the same
neural pathways you would use if you were actually doing the
thing you're imagining. This is called mental rehearsal, and studies show it
can improve focus, motivation, and
even performance. Here's how it works. Clarity. Because vision boards force you to get clear
about what you want. You are not just day dreaming. You are putting your goals
into a tangible form, a form that you can see, focus. When you see your
goals every day, they stay here top of
the mind instead of getting distracted by million
million other things. You are reminded of
what matters most. Motivation. There is
something about seeing your dreams and pictures that
makes them feel more real. And when they feel real, you are more likely
to take action. Why a vision board is so much more than
just pretty pictures? We need to realize that a vision board isn't
just decoration. It's not here to decorate
your room or your office. It's a tool, a tool
that helps you bridge the gap between
where you are now and where you want to
be in the near future. When you create a vision board, you are telling yourself. This is the life I'm building. This is the life
I'm working for. This is what I'm focusing
on. But here's the key. It's not enough just to make a board and hope for the best. You've got to pair
it with action. A vision board is
just like a map. It shows you where
you are going, but you still have to
drive the car, you know? Your action step. Let's start small. Take a few minutes, think
about your life right now, what areas in your life
feel stuck or uninspired? What's one thing
you would love to improve or change in
the upcoming months? Now, write three areas you
would like to focus on. It could be your
career, your health, your relationships, or
something completely different. Don't overthink it. Write what feels right and what you feel. Right here. And remember your vision board is going
to reflect these areas, so take your time. Don't worry about
getting it perfect. We are just starting to
brainstorm here because this will be the foundation
of your vision board, clarity about what you want. And in the next chapters, we will dig deeper
into why behind your goals because knowing
what you want is great, but understanding
why you want it. That's where the
true magic starts. So let's keep going because we are building
something amazing today.
4. Your WHY is Very Important: Why is very important. When you know your y, you will find your
way Simon Cynic. When it comes to girls, it's easy to start with
what you want to achieve, what you think you
should be doing, what you think you want
to see in your future. But the truth is, watch alone won't get you there. Or there are less chances what
alone will get you there. Because many times,
subconsciously, what really drives you, what keeps you motivated
deep inside when things get tough and they get tough along the way will be your why. For me, I think it hit hard at the end of last
year because I had worked very hard and I
had been busy all the time, client project,
official deadlines, ticking all the
boxes in my day job. But at the same time, when I should be happy
with what happened last year and other
things that went well, at the end of the year, I ended the year with the same
very frustrating thoughts. I've done so much
for my day job, but I've had no time
for my own creativity, and I have been
postponing it so much. I was feeling a
little bit like I betrayed myself for my
boss being happy with me. And it wasn't just about time or the lack of time I had
for my own projects. It was also about energy. I think it was
mostly about energy. I was so busy that I would stop prioritizing
things like working out or eating well
because I was so focused on keeping up with
work and all the things, all the to do lists. And somewhere just
along the way. I don't know exactly how. I've gained seven kilos, and it wasn't even about
the number on the scale. It was about the feeling. I had lost a part of myself, the carefree, the energetic one, and I was slowly turning into
somebody too stressed and too focused on deadlines and
what the boss will think. And I had lost a part of
myself that loved movement and was excited to experiment
with creative projects, not for earning extra money, but just for fun without a client or deadline
insight YUY matters. I've also observed my colleagues and all the people around me, and here's what I realized. When you don't know your why, you keep falling into
the same patterns. For me, it was working
harder every year, thinking that was
the way to grow and thinking that someday
something will change, something will shift,
and I will have more time for myself and
for my own projects. But now I know that growth
doesn't have to mean burnout, and it definitely
shouldn't mean losing touch with the things
that make you feel alive. So I'm really sure why
gives you clarity. It helps you filter
out what's not truly important in the long run and focus on what actually
matters to you, what keeps you alive. And without this why, goals are just
tasks to do lists, and they are too easy
to forget when life gets busy or overwhelming
with daily stuff. Reflecting on your Y. So I think I can really
say that I think there is no such thing as
important as your Y. Right now, let's
dig into your Y, and here are a few questions that will help you with that. A few questions to
get you started. Why do you want to
sell these gulls? What's the deeper
reason behind them? How do you want to feel
at the end of this year? What are you missing
in your life right now that these goals could
help you bring back? And I always repeat it. So let me repeat it
just one more time. Don't overthink it. You
don't have to overthink it. Just let your thoughts flow. For me, the part of my why was realizing it wasn't
about working harder it was about creating space for different opportunities
and space for creativity that
makes me feel alive, that makes everything
seem possible because my day job and
my client projects, they're satisfying and
they bring steady income, but at the same time, I know the world is so much broader and I don't
want to spend life giving advice
to other people and helping them make
their dreams come true, and at the same time,
abandoned my dreams. I have some very brave dreams, and I always tell other
people that together, we can achieve their
goals, their dreams, their business goals and
dreams, and we do that. So I was like, Why I don't
pursue my braver dreams? Why I don't follow
my own advice. It was about realizing I need that space for my
own creativity, to fulfill my potential, to just give myself
an opportunity to fulfill this
potential even a little bit for which I loved
before for the things that energized me for working with animal
shelters as well, and for having a
chance to speak about the topic that is
always on my mind, which is the horrible, horrible situation
of greyhounds, Spanish galagos in Spain. If you know me personally or if you have
watched my course, how to find you on each, you probably know that this is the topic that
breaks my heart, and I'm devoted to it. So that's also a very, very strong part of my why, why I feel the energy
to do what I'm doing and why I
feel the energy and motivation to go forward
and work towards all the things I
want to achieve in my both professional
and personal life. But for a moment, let's
go back to my more mundane, more maintenance goals. For example, let's
go back to the goal I want to lose
those seven kilos. The reason I want
to do that not to check some box of
being a thin girl, but because I want to
feel strong and confident enough to dive back into all the things I
need to fulfill. And one year ago, when I sat down to figure out my why and do this
check in with myself, I had to admit
something to myself. I was stuck in a cycle
every year, yeah, literally every year,
I was promising myself I would carve out
more time for my creativity. But every year, work
got in the way. And my health started to
feel like an afterthought. And my goal is to do
less and enjoy more and celebrate life and go after what really
makes me feel alive, stay stuck in the dream
phase for too long. And of course, that's not magic. We have to put so much work
into shifting the reality, shifting the way we live. But once I identify
my why, my why, everything shifted a bit because it became
less about pushing harder and more about designing a life that felt
balanced and meaningful, a life that will let me do
all the things I need to do, all the things I need
to do in the future. And the life creativity and
creating for my own projects, like, for example, the YouTube channel I'm starting this year. This creativity wasn't a luxury
but a priority and a life where my health wasn't something to squeeze in between
the deadlines. Your turn. Let's find your why. Okay, so now I want
you to take a moment, a very calm and relaxing moment because
we'll do some soul digging. So take this moment
to reflect on your goals and ask
yourself these questions. What's driving me
to set these goals? What's missing from
my life right now that achieving these goals
could help me reclaim. How do I want to feel? Not just at the end of the year, but every day as I
work towards my goals. And listen, your wife doesn't
have to sound pretty, doesn't have to sound
like you are miss universe performing in front
of all these people who, you know, are waiting, what you will say, what you will say. No, it doesn't
have to be perfect or even it doesn't
have to be polished. It doesn't have to sound good. It just has to feel through. Feel through to yourself. So write it down even
it sounds messy. Don't worry about it because
today this will become the foundation of everything we are building in this course. Your y will be like
the anchor that will keep you grounded
in the process. It's what will pull
you forward when things get hard or
when you feel stuck. So in the next chapter, we'll start turning your
y into actionable golf. The what the steps that will help you bring
your vision to life. So let's keep going.
5. Define Your Goals: Define your goals. Dream big but start small
and act now Robin Sharma. So I think one of
the hardest things, hardest parts about
setting goals is figuring out where to even start because you know
what you don't want. You don't want feeling stuck, overwhelmed or running on empty, but turning that into something concrete that can
very often feel like staring at a blank page and trying to write the best
novel of your life. You just feel the pressure
and it's very hard to come up with
something meaningful and something that makes sense. For me, I used to write down the goals like this year,
I will be healthier. This year, I will find
more time for myself. They sounded good, for example, in conversation when I told
my friends that this year, this is my priority. But at the same time, they
weren't actionable at all, and they were way too vogue. And from today's perspective, I wasn't really setting goals. I was writing ideas and hoping they would magically turn
into something real. Into my new reality when
I have this time when I have this focus on health
and everything is right. But spoiler alert, they didn't that's when
after some time, of course, I realized
I needed to get more specific because a goal
isn't just a wish. It's a target. Something
you can actually aim for. Why specific goals Maurer? Think about it like this. A vision board without clear
goals is like throwing random ingredients into a pot
and hoping for a Gurm meal. Sure, it might turn out okay. There are chances if you throw very good quality ingredients that somehow they will blend together and the
meal will be okay. It will be tasty.
But wouldn't it be better if you knew what
you were trying to make? And I feel it really deeply right now
that specific goals, really specific goals
give you this clarity. They help you measure
progress and keep you focused because when I had
a goal to become healthier, you know, there isn't really a way to track that to
measure my progress. I really need to break it
down into smaller chunks into smaller goals that
are easier to measure. And that way, when you
have these specific goals, they take the
pressure off because instead of feeling like
you have to do everything, you know exactly what
you are working toward, and you know exactly if you are doing the
progress or not.
6. The Process: How to Define Your Goals: Process, how to
define your goals. So for a moment, start by looking back at your Y. For me, that meant
asking questions like, if I want to
prioritize creativity, what does that actually
look like for me? If I want to lose seven kilos, what's a realistic
way to approach that without turning it into or offense situation
like in the past. From there, I broke it down into smaller, more
actionable goals. For example, this, creativity, spend one evening a week
working on my personal project. No clients, no new
clients allowed. Health. Exercise
four times a week, even if it's just 20 minutes and cook at home for
five days a week. Of course, these goals
aren't revolutionary, but they are doable. They're doable, and that's
the most important thing. Your turn, right your goals. So here's what I want
you to do right now. Take a look at the
areas you want to focus on from the second lesson, from the second chapter, and write down one, two goals each for each. That's important.
And no vogue ideas like become healthier, but goals you can
actually work toward. So instead of get
fit, for example, it will be better to write
down run five K in six months. Or instead of spend more
time with my family, maybe it is have dinner with my parents at
least once a week. And don't worry about
how they sound. Don't worry about making them perfect because you
can tweak them later. For now, just focus on getting something on paper on
any phone up notes, something that feels
meaningful to you. I have to admit when I first started setting my
own specific goals, it felt intimidating
because I was like, what if I pick the wrong ones? But I think we
should all realize that goals aren't set in stone. They are just starting
point for now. You can absolutely adjust
them as you go later. What matters for now is that you are taking this first step? For example, as
you already know, one of my goals last year was
to build a better workflow. So I could focus more on my creativity and
my creative site. At first, that looked
like setting aside one weekend a month for my creative
projects, for example. But as I started, I realized we weren't
ideal for me to do that. I'm usually wiped out by Friday, so I shifted it to
Wednesday evenings, and suddenly it
clicked much more. So setting goals in this chapter in this lesson is about
giving yourself direction, not creating more pressure. And honestly, it can
be so much fun when you let yourself
dream a little and see visualize this future you in your mind because these
goals aren't just tasks. They are more like
building blocks of the life you wish
you want to create. So in the next chapter,
spoiler alert, we will start gathering
inspiration for your vision, your goal bag, and this is where things get visual
creative and yeah, we have to do that. So let's
7. Gather Inspiration: Gather inspiration. Creativity seeing
what others see and thinking when no one
else ever thought. That's the thought
by Albert Einstein. Here is where the most
inspiring fun begins. Now that we've laid the groundwork with your
why and your goals, it's time to dive
into the part of the process that feels a
little like the dreaming, but with a purpose, with a purpose, strong, strong, strong present here. So right now we are
going to gather inspiration for your vision
board, for your goal board. Think of it like collecting puzzles puzzle pieces
together that when put together will create a picture of the life
you are working towards. Why inspiration matters. Okay, so let me
tell you something. When I made my
first vision board, I thought I knew
exactly what I wanted. But as I started pulling
together images and ideas, I realized some of my
goals wearing quite right. They didn't excite me or interest me the way
I thought they would. The process of gathering inspiration helped me refine
what I actually wanted, where I have actually
saw myself in, not just what I
thought I should want. And gathering inspiration helps you connect with your vision on a much deeper emotional level because it's not just
about what looks good. It's not collecting things
for your Instagram feed. It doesn't have to
look good together, like, for example, an Instagram
feed somewhere ago, no. Hello, that's not the
strategy for this. It's 100% about
what feels right, what heels like you. That's about the
feeling you get. When you see a picture or a quote and think,
Yes, this is it. This somehow resonates with me. I get it very often when I
scroll my tumbler, dashboard. When you think to yourself, this is what I want my life
to look and feel like. Where to look for inspiration. So let's talk about where to
find those puzzle pieces. My go to places I
usually interest. Okay, that doesn't
surprise you, right? It's a classic one for a reason. You can type in keywords related to your goals like
creative workspace, healthy recipe, self carotine, whatever keywords are
related to your goal, you can also ask Sha PT
what keywords you should type into PNRSt search B to
see the things you need, and then let the Pinter
rest algorithm do its magic and find
the things you need. Tumbler, as I said before, I'm such a tumbler girl
for so many years. But I know that it takes time to find inspiring tumbler profiles. So I've been collecting my favorite profiles for
12 years now, I think. So my dashboard right now
is such a good fit for my vision board because I'm following only the profiles
that resonate with me, but I know it takes time,
and Tumbler right now is flooded with so
many trash contents. So it's getting
harder and harder to find those hidden
treasures there. But here are a few
tumblers that have this broad variety
of pictures that can be a good choice for many vision birds,
for many gold birds. So you can look there and
see if those pictures, some of them resonate with you. So here are my favorite
tumbler profile, so I feel like, Yeah, I'm sharing what
I have been gate keeping for such a long
time. I really love them. I hope they won't change. You can also click on the rive to see all the
posts, all the visuals, all the quotes in one place, so you don't have to scroll here for hours, your own photos. Yes. This one is
surprising, isn't it? But sometimes the most
meaningful inspiration is already in your camera role. A picture of you on
a hike sometime ago, but you still remember
it made you happy. It made you feel alive, laughing with friends or
just feeling confident, a photo where you felt confident and
powerful and you felt like beyond sale or if you
a male version of Beyonce, you had this power, you felt
confident in your own skin. You felt like you were
rocking the moment. Yeah, that photo can be
such a good reminder of what you are working
toward and what you want to do more often
in your reality. Quotes and affirmations because visuals and pictures
are one thing, but words have such a strong way of anchoring your vision. So search for quotes
that resonate with your goals or create your
own mantra. For the year. Now it's your turn,
so start collecting and start picking the ones that resonate with you the most. And here is your task
for this chapter. Spend at least 15 minutes, but I encourage you to give
this task so much more time. Sometimes it will take you even a few days or a full day to gather inspiration and
gather the right ones, the ones that resonate with you. Deeply so open Pinterest, open tumbler, open Google, open Substack or your
own photo library and start searching for what feels right for what you want
more of in your life. And look for pictures,
look for colors, and words that reflect the goals you set and
save in your folder, anything that sparks a feeling of excitement or connection. It's about following your gut. If something speaks
to you, save it. You will organize it later. I remember one time when I was creating a vision
board for the year. I came across a picture of a cozy little desk by a window. It wasn't flashy, it
wasn't extravagant, but it hit me with a way I didn't expect honestly because I realized it perfectly captured the vibe I wanted for
my creative work, calm, grounded and personal. And that one picture that one picture ended up shaping how I restructured my
personal workspace and my approach to creative
projects that year, that I want to be a calm, cozy creator and I feel
really good with this vibe, with this feeling,
with this approach. So this part of
the process is all about letting yourself
dream a little bit. So don't worry yet about how everything will
come together, how you will mix it, how you will place it on a vision board. That's what the next
chapters are for. For now, just focus
on collecting the pieces that make you
feel inspired or excited. Yes. In the next chapter, we will take all the
inspiration and start creating your own very special
vision board Galbard in Canva. Let's keep going.
8. Create Your Canvas in Canva: Redo Canvas and Canva. Simplicity is the
ultimate sophistication, Leonardo Da Vinci. This first step to
creating an action board. G board that works is structure. Canva makes this fortunately
very easy because most of their templates already
come with grease or sections. And if they don't,
you can customize it and add everything yourself. I have to admit when I first started creating
vision boards, I just throw all my
favorite pictures, all my saved inspiration
onto a blank page, into a blank project in that size because
that's important. You create a vision board in that size with these
dimensions in Canva, then you can also resize it and use it for many,
many different purposes. For example, you
can print it out. You can use it as
your wallpaper, as your desktop wallpaper, as your phone wallpaper, but we will talk about
it a little bit later. And I was just throwing everything onto this blank
page onto this blank project. And while it looked
pretty, like a clash, it didn't really
work because it felt scattered like everything was
competing for my attention. And over time, I've learned that the best way to make a
vision board actually work work much more effectively is to
create this structure. And the easiest way to do that, divide your Canva into
sections that represent the key area of your life or the goals you are
working towards. For example, when
it comes to me, one of my biggest
goals this year is to start and grow my
YouTube channel finally. So on my vision board, I've carved out a
section just for that. It's labeled my own Native
channel, and it's fulfilled, as you can see with
images and quotes that reminds me of what I want to create a space that
feels like me, where I can share my
thoughts and connect with like minded people who need
me in a meaningful way. Getting started with Canva. Okay, so to start. Open Canva and type
vision board or clash into the template
search B and as you can see, you will see a ton of options. So with grades, others with open spaces for your creativity, and pick the one that
you like the most, pick the one that feels like a good starting point for you. And once you have your choice, once you have the starting
point, the Canva template, think about the key
areas or goals you are focusing on this year
or the upcoming months. Maybe it's health, career, creativity, relationships
or personal growth. Whatever they are, divide
your canvas into section. One section one big
space for each area. I really found that
dividing my vision board, my gold board into sections does more than just make it look
organized when I look at it. It helps me focus and when
I glance at the board, I'm not overwhelmed
by a jumble of ideas. I see clear actionable areas of my life where I want to grow, where my focus is needed. And as I've already told
you at the beginning, skip I skipped this
whole sectioning part and just threw
everything together, thinking it would
save me time and it's also okay to
do that that way. And instead, I ended up
redoing the whole thing two weeks later because the mess on the gold
board didn't inspire me. It wasn't working. So now I always make sure each
goal has its own space, and for me, at least it
makes such a difference. Make it very, very, very personal, choosing the
right visuals and woods. Okay, so once your canvas
is divided into sections, it's time to bring it to life. This is the part
when you vision, your goal board,
your action board, starts to feel less like a project and more like
a personal manifesto. And now it's all about feeling those sections with visuals
and words that speak to you, not just aesthetically, but
emotionally in each key area. And for me, this is the
chapter where this is the part of the process where everything clicks.
I will be honest. Sometimes when I first
set up my board, it feels so bad. These sections are there
my life areas are there, but they just don't
mean so much yet. But as I start
adding the visuals, adding the quotes that
reflect my goals, suddenly, it feels like I'm piecing
together a story, my story. So now it's time for your story. And I feel like it's really
good to mention that the pictures you choose
don't have to be literal, but they should
evoke the feeling or energy you want in
that part of your life. For example, in the health
section of my board, I didn't just add
a picture of ways, my perfect weight or
a plate of veggies. Instead, I also choose a
serene trail through a forest because it reminds me of how I want my health journey to feel, health, calm, intentional,
and connected to nature. Section for my YouTube channel, I also included a picture of a beautifully organized
desk and the camera to motivate me to keep
my setup clean and to organize my
working area for dot. But I also addit a picture of someone laughing
with their audience. That picture isn't just
about making videos. It's about the connection I hope to build with the people
who will watch my films. Adding words that anchor you. And if you're not a very visual
person, then don't worry. Your board doesn't have
to be all about pictures. I also personally love
adding quotes, affirmations, and single words that ground me in my
vision, and my goal. Because yes, even single words can encapsulate the
vibe you are going for. For example, when
it comes to me, I really love including
quotes that ground me when I feel little bit lost
stuck or unmotivated. So for example, in my
creativity section, I've added, you don't have to be perfect to make progress. It's my personal reminder
to remind myself that creating is about
the process not perfection to beat
this perfectionism, that's such a difficult way because it's just a form
of procrastination. And for the health section, for example, I addit
the word energy. It's simple, but it sums up exactly what
I'm working toward and what I want to bring back to my life when it comes to moving, when it comes to my workout, when it comes to just
energy for living, energy, for the things
that makes me healthier. So as you can see,
each section becomes its own little world focused
on one part of your vision. It's like having it's a
little bit like having mini vision balls within the log w. What you see depends on
what you are looking for. Now it's your turn. Bring
your board to life. And here is what
I want you to do. Open Canva and chose a vision ball template that
will be your starting point. Then if it's not done yet in
the template of your choice, divide the canvas into sections, the sections that reflect your
key life areas and goals. And label each section clearly. For example, it can be
health, career, creativity, or in my case, something more specific
like my YouTube channel. Go to each each, each section of your
vision board and start adding visuals pictures
that represent your goals. Don't just think about
what you should include. Think about what feels the
most inspiring to you. Then add a few quotes affirmationed or single
words to each section. Choose words that
resonate with you. Words that will
bring you back to your Y even when things go hard. Then this is also very
important step back. And look at your
boat as a whole. Does it feel like it
captures your vision? And, of course, if not,
tweak it until it does. And also, no matter which
template you choose, don't be afraid to play
around with this layout because it's okay if it feels a little bit
messy at first, you have to trust the process, but you can also
customize everything. So don't feel obliged to
use the template you chose. Remember that the Canva
template you chose is only a starting
point and you can actually customize
and edit everything. And this is also what
I encourage you to do to make this vision board, this gold board as much as
much yours as it can be. So as you can see, this
step is all about giving this structure to your dreams
and dividing your vision, your goal board into these
sections ensures that every part of your life gets
the attention it deserves. And I think it also makes all the goals feel more tangible and more real because each goal is a separate
part of your life.
9. Final Touches and Design Tips: Touches and design tips. Perfection is achieved not when there's nothing
more to add, but when there is nothing
left to take away, untwin the same super. As you can see, by now, your vision board is
starting to take shape. The sections are filled, the visuals and
words are in place, and you can always see
your goals coming to life. But before we call it done, let's spend a little time on the finishing touches.
Less is more. One of the most common
mistakes I also used to make with my vision bots was trying to fit
everything on them. I thought the more pictures
and more words I added, the more motivating it would be. In some cases, that's
true because I think your choice should
represent all the energy, all the vibes you want
to bring into your life. But when there are too
much in each section, it can also feel a little bit cluttered and a little
bit overwhelming, and we want to avoid that. And when you have
too many sections, your brain may don't
know where to focus. So here is the very cliche, but also, I think, very true, saying less is more, and it also applies
to vision bods because it's better
to have a few very, very meaningful pictures
that really resonate with you than a cardic college of everything that
caught your eye. So focus on keeping the ones that really
resonate with you. If you feel a little bit lukewarm with some
of the choices, maybe you don't need
them there because the lukewarm feeling,
yeah, it's not. We don't need need it here. So take a moment to
look at your bolt. Are there sections
that feel too busy? Are there any pictures or
quotes that don't quite fit? And really, don't be afraid to remove anything that
doesn't spark that. Yes, that feels right. That's me. That's my
future that feeling. Balance and flow. Another
thing to check for is balance. So now look at your
vision board as a big picture as a whole
and analyze and reflect, does it feel coercive? Are the sections evenly spaced or is one area
dominating the other? And of course, if you
did it with purpose, if that's the way
you wanted it to be, that's perfect. Leave it. Okay. Then I really appreciate the way you were thoughtful with
designing this space. But if it happened by accident, then take a moment
to think if really that one area is more
important than others. And I also like to make sure, and maybe it's just me, but I really like to make sure the colors flow nicely
across the board. I one section is all warm tones, and another is, for example, black and white, it
can feel disconnected. Of course, I'm not
saying everything needs to match perfectly
because it's impossible. And, no, no, that's
not the whole point. But I think you should feel
this sense of harmony, and you should feel that the
whole board is intentional, and you will be able to focus
on it as a whole, as well. Add personal details. Okay. So before we print out, for example, your vision board, this is your chance to
make the vision board even more yours. Maybe you want to add another personal photo that represents your
goal, for example, from your past or a small doodle made just
by you, for example, on iPod or an icon that
Emoji you love the most that will tie everything together and make the vision
board feel so much more you. For example, on my boards, I sometimes add little stalls or house around is that I want to stand out because they catches my attention
even more with that. So yes, this step
isn't necessary. It's less about function and
more about feeling because I feel the more your vision board feels like the extension of you, the more connected
you will feel to it. And the more likely you are to use it as your
daily motivator. Okay, so it's your turn. As I said before,
this isn't necessary, but if you feel like it's you, you are this type of person, as well, here's your
task for this chapter. Step back and take
a big picture, look at your vision board, remove anything
that feels out of place or overwhelming.
Check for balance. Do the sections flow nicely. Are any areas that
need tweaking and add a small personal detail to
make it feel 100% yours. It could be a photo,
a little doodle, or even your favorite
MOG in the corner. Okay, now that you refine
your vision board, take a moment to admire it because you know
it deep inside. This isn't just a collection
of pictures and words. It's a representation of life you are building
one step at a time. And in the next chapter, we will talk about how to make your vision board,
your gold board, part of your daily life, so it stays front and center, and it can really work.
10. Make it Visible: Make it visible. Here is the very,
very important thing. A vision board can
only inspire you if you actually see it and
take your time to look at it, because if it ends
up tuckled away in a folder or buried away
under your other files, it's just another project you will very easily
forget about, and you won't
remember about it in months or even or even quicker. So, to make your vision
truly effective, it needs to be front and
center in your daily life. So here in this chapter
in this lesson, I'm all about making
sure your vision board stays visible,
inspiring, and alive. Where to display
your vision board. Okay, so think about the places
you spend the most time. Is it your desk? Your
bedroom or maybe your phone. Whatever it is, that's where
your vision board belongs. Here are a few ideas from me. You can use it as your
digital wallpaper. If you created a digital
vision board in Canva, export it as a high
quality image, and set it as your phone
and computer wallpaper. That way, you will see it every time you unlock your device, and it will have this high
chance of being effective. Printed and displayed. If you are more of
a tangible person, print your vision board
and hang it somewhere. You will see it daily
above your desk, on your fridge, or even your bathroom
mirror. Mi versions. Create smaller focus versions of your vision board for
specific areas of your life. For example, a mini board for your workspace to keep
career goals top of mind. Make it part of your routine. So seeing your vision
board very often, is super important, but engaging with it is even more important. You need to build a habit of checking in with your
board regularly. And here are my ideas
how you can engage with your pigeon board on
a daily basis without any, you know, without sacrificing
too much time to do it. Use it as your
moaning motivation. So start your day by
spending a minute looking at your board and reflecting on one goal you want to
focus on that day. Use it for your
weekly check ins. Every week, take a few
moments to see how your actions align
with your vision. Are you taking steps
toward your goals? If not, what can you adjust? Also, use this board
to celebrate progress. Of course, use your
vision board as a reminder of how far
you've already come. When you hit I Maya Stone, look at that section, the section it represents, and give yourself credit for
the progress you've made. Okay, so now it's your
turn. Make it visible. Make it visible in your flat. Make it visible everywhere. Okay, so here is what
I need you to do. Decide where you want to display your vision board digitally, physically, or that
would be the best both. If it's digital, explore it
from Canva and set it as you wallpaper on your
phone and on your desktop. And if it's physical, print it out and find a
prominent spot for it. Set a reminder to engage with
your vision board daily, even if it's just for a minute. When it comes to me, one of my favorite moments each day is when I catch sight of my vision board during
a quiet moment. It's like taking
this extra minute, this little reminder
of why I'm doing what I'm doing and what
I'm working to it. For example, there was
a day recently when I felt completely
overwhelmed with work. And then I look at
the vision board, you know, like, Oh, with this grumpy face. And then I saw the
quote on my board. Remember why you started. And I think it was exactly
what I needed to see that day, what I needed to hear. And it suddenly helped me
refocus on what mattered most and reminded me that I'm working towards
something bigger. And, you know, of course, I have my ups and downs, but the downs the
downs can make me stop because I'm working
towards something I'm really, really deeply passionate about. So, now it's your turn.
11. Final Words and My Question to You: Final words and my
question to you. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single
step Lao chu. Well, well, well, here
we are the end of the course or at least the end of the official pot
because let's be honest, the real work starts now. I know final words always
sounds a little dramatic, but I want it to take this moment to
acknowledge something. This process, it's not just
a one and done project. It's messy, it's itertus and it requires you to keep
showing up for yourself. If you ever feel stuck or like your vision isn't as clear
as you feel it should be, revisit the earlier chapters. It won't take you long, and sometimes hearing an idea, a second or third time can make it click
in a whole new way. Take the first step. Now here is my biggest advice. Start now. Like, right now, don't let the energy. You are feeling from
the course fizzle out. Even the tiny step
opening Canva, jotting down one priority, one goal or moving your vision
board to a more visible, more prominent place can
make a huge difference. Procrastination is
sneaky like that, so don't let it win. My question to you. Okay,
so now it's your turn. What do you think? What
resonated with you the most? Was there a thing, an idea that felt like it was
written just for you? I hope so. And also, tell me what's next? Is there something
you would like me to dive into more deeply
in the future, or as I update the course? Maybe you would like
to see a course on building system for
your goals to make your productivity level
much higher or maybe refining your personal
creative process. Let me know because as you know, your feedback not only
helps me improve, but also sparks ideas
what to create next. If you enjoy the course, and if you love the course
or even liked it a little, here is my very humble request. Please leave a review. It can be only one sentence about what resonated with you, what you enjoyed the most, what you liked about
the curse because reviews help me reach more
people who might need my help. They helped me grow
as a content creator, and honestly, they motivate me so much to keep
creating for you. I will be endlessly
grateful for your thoughts. And as always, see
you in the next one.
