Design A Vision Board That Actually Manifests!

1. Introduction : Do you have a vision for your future? But perhaps you're not sure how you're going to get. They're a great way to set yourself on track is to create a vision board, which is essentially a big poster of pictures of things that you aspire for or wants to obtain. Some point down the line. Vision boards can be either digital or physical. Anything Goes whatever works best for you. And you can put as few or as many pictures as you want on them. But there are some important things to bear in mind and questions you need to ask yourself to make sure that you get to the actual visualization that you're creating. This document or piece of paper. Making a vision board isn't just about putting loads of images on a page. You have to be a bit more active with what you're trying to achieve. So if you want to hear more tips and tricks and how I approach making vision boards myself, then this might be the class for you, hey, on total and I'm a stop-motion animator turned life coach. I'm really passionate about self-improvement and I've been on a journey myself over the last decade. I've manifested a lot of things and I have changed my life for the better in lots of different ways. I hope that with this class, I'm going to be able to guide you to creating a vision board. Yield better results than perhaps you've experienced already. 2. Class Project: In case it wasn't obvious, the class project will be to create your own vision board. I don't mind which one you use as your class project. It could be, you're slightly unrealistic far in the future one, or it could be your more immediate to year one. I think by posting this as a project on this class is going to help keep you accountable and putting it out there and sharing it with the world also will help you manifest it because you're saying to the universe, this is what I intend for my future. This is where I'm going to be, this is what I'm striving for and that action of just posting it will be helpful for making this happen. I don't need to know the reasons why you want the things that is completely personal to you. So keep that to yourself. I'd love to see your vision board and I'll be putting positive energy out there for you to manifest the things that you want as well. So please do share that as a class project. I can't wait to see what it is that you are striving for in your future. 3. What Is A Vision Board?: So firstly, what is a vision board? Essentially, it is a bit like a collage. It's a page that you create with images, visualizations of things that you desire, outcomes that you wish for your future. This could be anything. It could be your dream house, it could be having a baby. It could be becoming a top teacher on Skillshare. It could be getting yourself into better shape, getting a new job, having a holiday. The ideas for putting on your board are limitless and are very personal and specific to you. So wherever it is that you desire, a vision board is essentially a visual map of that future version of your life. The things that you ideally would want that you don't currently have. Visual boards can be equally effective whether they're digital or physical, actual sticking pictures onto paper. One of the most important things is just to make sure that it's in a form that you can be looking at quite consistently. So depending on you and your circumstances, you may want to make a physical one that you stick on your wall, or you might prefer to make a digital one that you put on your laptop screensaver, or even on your phone. Anything goes whatever feels right for you as the right way. And you could even do both options. 4. Where To Start?: So where do you begin with creating a vision board? Well, a lot of people take quite an unrealistic step. They have these very lofty dreams, goals and ambitions and so outrageously incredible. But there's no sort of logical way of getting there. You're not sure how you'd take action to even arrive at those things. And I think it's very important to bear this in mind when creating a vision board. So I am going to tell you that you can have that amazing vision board like your dream future ten years, 15 years from now, what it would look like, you can have that fantastic house, the sports car. I'm the perfect partner. Some kids, whatever it is, make one like that. Definitely do that. That's the vision board that you can make now. And you can pop that one away in a drawer and not really look at it. But as well as that one, you want to make a couple of extra vision boards that are a little bit shorter term in goals. So a really good time frame that I think is about two years. You can achieve a lot in two years. It's hard sometimes to make a change in a year, but two years allows for any bumps in the road. Things that might knock you off course. You never know when you might get ill or when just something happens is out of your control that can derail you from your plans. So a two-year vision board is ideal and make your dreams for this, the things that you put on it achievable. Don't go outrageously unrealistic. Have that one and tuck it away somewhere. But this one, it wants to be a bit more achievable. So if you are currently renting and you won't have your own home, it might just be that into years time, you have managed to get to the amount for the deposit, you may not yet have the dream home. You're making that outcome more possible. For your ideal partner. You could have that dream personal net. That's perfectly fine. But you've got to be taking the action to find this person. One of the things that people often get wrong with vision boards is that they take a passive approach rather than an active approach. Now you can make one like I've said, for the distant future and you can tuck that away somewhere and forget about it. Sometimes it can be miraculous when you discover it again and you get it out of the drawer and you think, Wow, I've actually take some of these things off. You'll be quite surprised if you are in the right mindset and you stay consistent and focused what you can achieve. But having a more active approach to realistic goals is going to yield you better results. So whatever it is that you're putting down on your two-year vision board, whether that's a ideal partner, a new car, a holiday. You've got to be thinking a little bit about what would the person that has those things have done to get there if you have got your dream partner and do you just spend all your time at home and you don't make any sort of efforts to find them is sort of less likely that you're going to find them show you still might, but it may take longer. Whereas if you're looking on dating sites or you're going to events and trying new hobbies and trying to meet people that have things in common with you. You're going to have better results. You've got more possibility, more opportunity of meeting your perfect person. Don't just sit on your sofa with your vision board thinking that things are gonna happen. Just like that, like magic, that's not how it works. You have to take action, you have to put in some effort and you're working towards these goals. Perhaps you are not currently happy in your job and you'd like to do something differently. Maybe you like the idea of being self-employed, creating content online, becoming a YouTuber or a social media influencer is actual goal while, while you're currently in your role at the present moment that you're unhappy with, start making videos on the side. And you may find that if you're consistent and you're focused, and you have a really good reason for why you want this new outcome. You will in two years time be able to drop the job that you currently have that you're not happy with, change completely shift into this other avenues. And i'm I'm saying two years as a timeframe. But if your focus and you're taking action, a lot of the time, these goals will be achieved much quicker than two years. Like I said in my introduction, I've manifested lots of different things in my life. The most recent thing are some absolutely adorable puppies. And literally been committing to the idea of puppies and seriously looking for them. The perfect puppies arrived in our lives within two weeks. So things can really happen quite fast if you are focused and if you really, really want them. 5. Finding The Right Images: So when you're creating a vision board, how do you find the pictures? You could turn to Google, you could look on royalty-free image sites. This is just something you're creating for yourself, so you don't have to worry so much about copyright. It's not something that you're making money from or anything like that. You're just having this for yourself to help you manifest what you want. So you have to really like seek the images best reflect your outcomes. These have to be images bat aren't just representative of the thing. They've got to really excite you. You want your vision board to make you feel so incredibly happy and excited for the things that you want. So if you have a dream car, don't just put a generic car. Really think about the specific details. If you could have any car, like what would it look like? Would it be a specific color? Would it have specific details? What would the interior look like? Try and get an image that best matches the exact thing that you want. If you want a new puppy, try and find an image of the cutest puppy that you can find that is closest to this puppy that you would like. Because just putting down something generic means that you may manifest it, but it may not be completely what you want it. You have to be specific. So make your images really selective and really colorful and bright and exciting. And make sure that you get that fuzzy feeling when you look at your vision board and that everything on it is like, Wow, that is what I desire. This is what I am trying to visualize for my future. And you're going to have a better chance at getting that vision board to successfully become a reality. 6. Getting Clear on Your WHYs: Another thing that's really going to help you manifest the things that you have on your vision board is to understand why you want the things. So don't just have the pictures there. You have to think about why you want them, because you have to have a feeling. You have to have a desire for them that is strong enough for you to actually manifest them. So e.g. if you wanted extreme wealth, watch a reason for needing that extreme wealth. Is it because you have a young family that you want to support and that would really help you give them the best start in life. If you can find an emotional, deep motivator and reason for needing the thing that you want. You're going to have a better time getting there if it's a new car that you want. What is that deep reason for the car? Is it so that you can take your partner to work or pick them up when they are stranded somewhere late at night. Everybody wants a holiday. But why do you want a holiday? Is it because you've been working really hard and perhaps your freelance and you never get a break. And having that time away might help you to get some new content, or it could be to just relax. You just need some time and space away from everything. You find that specific reason, write that down. That's just for you. I don't need to see that. But it's very good to get clear on not just what you want, but why you want it and how it's going to change your life. If you can think of something that really liked, pull the cord within you and makes you think, oh, this is, this is, it would change my life because this would be so good for helping with this specific thing. Then you've got really targeting vision for what you're trying to manifest. So think about why you want the things, as well as just wanting them. 7. A Digital Board: So how do you create a vision board digitally? Well, you could do this in any sort of software. He could do it in Canva, you could do it in Photoshop. You could even do it in Word. It doesn't really matter. Google Docs or an option to just any sort of software where you can put images and then you can save that out as a JPEG or a PDF, or any format that can be viewed on your phone or on your computer. And you can then put that somewhere where you're going to see it consistently and often. So let me show you how I'm going to lay out my vision board. This is my two-year one. This is stuff that I think it's achievable. I've put silver YouTube play button, Skillshare, top teacher. A trip away to Italy, winning a competition with my golf, getting into a secure and committed relationship. And I also think it's really good to put quotes that are meaningful on your vision board as well. Things just to remind you that every day is a fresh start, living in the moment and love what you do and do what you love. Of course, everybody is likely to want to manifest more income in some way. So I've put some money and I just fill the space behind with the notes. Another thing is puppies was trying to manifest three puppies. We want three sibling puppies. And I also want to manifest a better aesthetic like more fitness, more athleticism. So I have just mocked up my face on a body which appealed to me, and that is my aspiration for fitness goals. So I have put that in there as well. I made sure that the puppy in the middle was exactly like the puppy I'd like to own, would look these specific with your visuals. Then we move on to my other vision boards. So this is more in the distant future. So I've got a cruise going to New York, having a car, my dream car is a Mini Cooper. A prime there to symbolize perhaps having a family, obviously more wealth behind and lots more quotes to keep me on track and to get me in the mood for manifesting all of this and all of the important things to remember. And then of course, fitness is ongoing and that body is not going to happen overnight. So I have that on my long-term vision board as well. Actually here I've put one year and three to five years. It's completely flexible. You do what you want. But I think that for most people, a two-year one is more achievable. But obviously I've been manifesting for quite some time, so I have been ambitious. I've put all of this on a one-year board for myself and the rest. I'm hoping in the next three to five years, you could have it even further in the future. You could do one for 15 years in the future. Anything goes, There's no wrong or right answer. Whatever you feel is right for you. So yeah, this is me being vulnerable, sharing my vision boards. And I'll be updating this class as to when things happen. The puppies have already arrived. I started making this class in January and I now have a puppy. Yeah, I'll put in a video about that. 8. A Physical Board: So we want to do for creating a physical vision board is get yourself some old magazines, newspapers, and do some Google searches. Literally be as crafty as you'd like. Cut and stick makes something. Again, they excite shoe That looks cool. And then you have a physical vision board that you can put up in your office. You can put it up in your bedroom. You can put it wherever you want, somewhere that you're going to see it often, you want to find images of things that you desire, things that you aspire for in the future, and find the pictures that represent the things that you want. And what I mean when I say best represent, really do mean that like if it's a car, you want to look at the specific color, the model, all the different details that you would imagine for your dream car. If it's your dream house, similar, make sure that you aren't just putting a generic house on your vision board. You want it to be your greenhouse. So make sure that you've found the best picture you can to represent the house that you would like in your future. If you can be really specific and find images that best reflect it, you're more likely to get what it is that you actually want down the line, the more detailed and specific you are, the mother universe knows what it's trying to bring to watch you. Maybe you want a dream holiday. Find a picture of the exact location of where you want to go. Make it spectacular. Think about the web and make it look good in the photo. You could even put a picture of the airline that you'd like to travel on. A plane above it, make it detailed and as true to what you want as you can. Because the more exact shoe vision board is, the more exact outcome is going to be. You want to be looking at this every day, I'm thinking, yes, that is my future. That is what I want. I'm going to make this happen. 9. How Are You FEELING? : Another really important thing to bear in mind with vision boards and manifesting in general is that it is your internal experience that reflects your internal experience. So really keep a check on your thoughts and what it is that you are feeling internally. Are you feeling happy and positive or are you feeling negative and anxious? Do you have an abundant mindset? Or are you living with a lack mindset? The way you think about things will the potential to manifest them. So e.g. if you are wanting to visualize and manifest extreme wealth, but your opinion of money is not that you are already abundant. That you tell yourself every day that you don't have enough money to do this or that and you live in that lack mindset, which may be true. You may have debt. You may not have the money to do the things that you want, but you need to trick yourself into believing that you do have money and that you can buy whatever you want. And you already abundant. If you are believing that and feeling like you're already abundant. And if you can sort of experience that in small ways, it may just be simply buying someone else a coffee, which isn't a lot of money, but it's that generosity of I've got enough. I can buy you that coffee and little things like that can actually make a huge difference. If you're somebody that just tries to keep all of your money to yourself and you never spend it. And you're constantly thinking, I haven't got enough money to do anything, so I must like, hold onto it and save it. And you're like in this lack mindset, but it's really an aligned to gathering extreme wealth. Whereas if you are sort of coming from the place of, I've got so much that I can buy this passion or coffee. I can go out day of the week and do this thing. And you just don't even question it. You just are like, Yeah, I can do that because I'm abundant and if I spend money, more money will come back to me. There's so much money out there. There's plenty for everyone. There's no competition. Wherever the money is that I want and need is mine to have. If you have that approach, you're going to find that more money does come to you a lot easier. Something that I've experienced in recent years is the more money that I've spent, the more I've invested in myself and the more I have bought things, experiences or things that have just elevated me, the money is just arrived for those things. The money has come to me in some form. 10. Outroduction: Thank you very much for taking my class today.
