video vision board. I'm so excited to
present this class to you and to help you make
a Video Vision Board. So let's get started.
2. Video Vision Board Lesson 1: Why do you need a video vision board?: Hello and welcome back to
Video Vision Board Course. So this lesson is just
talking about like, why do you need a
video vision board? And first, I'm going
to talk about why a vision board in
general is good for just achieving
life goals in general. So you may have remember, when the secret was out. It was a book, it was a movie, but it basically talked about the law of attraction as well as using vision boards and affirmations and to
manifest Your Life goals, dreams, things that you want. And this is a way how
I use it as well. I use a vision board more to
keep my goals top of mine. Because when you
get caught up in just the every day
to do's of life, just kinda going
through your routine. A lot of times you can
forget, like, oh wait, I have this goal that is, that I want to keep ahead of
me that I want to achieve. I have this career goal, I have this creative Goal. I have this thing that
I want to get unstuck that will be knowing at you
that wanting, that longing, that thing that you
want to achieve in your core self will
be nine at you and really giving you some life dissatisfaction if you are not working
toward that goal. However, what happens? You get caught up in for
me, I will talk about me. For me it was I was
caught up in like, okay, I'm newly married. I have to fix up this house. I have to make it a home. Oh, now we're getting pregnant. Like all of these things, good things mind you, good things kinda get in the mix and you can't
focus fully your attention or energy toward achieving those life goals that you may have in the
back of your mind. So what a vision board does is bring those
things that you want, the things that you want to
achieve into your forefront. Every time you look
at that board, you remember like, okay, right, This is what
I'm working toward. So somewhere in your
subconscious mind, your, your goals are being like you're turning your way
toward those goals. You might have your
ear peak to like, Oh, I just, because I'm
focused on making this, now I found a course that
works toward that goal, like things like that
will start to get your attention because you have this constant visual reminder of what you want to
achieve in life. So from just a
static Vision Board to go into a Video Vision Board. This is my concept behind that. And honestly guys,
I don't see anyone else really talking
about doing it this way. And if they are, I
haven't found them yet. So if it's out there, I'm sorry, I haven't seen it, but for me, it works even better to make
this in a video format. If I have a two-minute,
five-minute, hey, even a seven-minute
video to like, I can wake up, hit play, and be reminded of my goals
no matter where I am, I'm not limited to wear this like this
physical vision board. It's all digital. I'm not even limited to just
looking at static pictures, but I can play a video that has my goals on them in visuals
and words and music, just really mapping
out what my goal, what my long-term goals are. Then that's like, what are you usually doing in
your first 7 min? Awaken anyway, watching reals, watching YouTube shorts, checking the news,
checking the weather. If I can take a few minutes of that time to make my goals
top of mind than to me. That is worth it, that is worth this course here. So that is why I believe you
need a video vision board. To me, it is a positive aspect of having a very good
mental health practice.
3. Video Vision Board Lesson 2: Components of a Video Vision Board: So here is something
I alluded to. And Lesson one about why you
need a video vision board. This is the, well, what's in it? Because usually when you're
making a static vision board, you cut out your
pictures from magazines. Or if you're doing something
online like with Pinterest, you search for images
that you want to include on your Vision
Board, Pinterest board. You just limit it to that. So for a Video Vision Board, you also look for images, and that's why images
is listed here. But you also, you want to
look for maybe some quotes, maybe some word ART, Maybe some of your own
thoughts and ideas or mantras, things that you've learned
along the way in life. Things that are encouraging
to you and maybe you alone. Sometimes I, what I'm
trying to get creatively, unstuck, get my creativity. And then there are things
that I like to say to myself. Like I, I have a lot of
skill and resources. I may record myself
saying this or I might just make some
words are that says it. And not just your own quotes, but fine quotes like there's one that
floats around a lot. She something to the effect
of she saw it and she did it. And I know I'm
getting that wrong. But that's the kind of thing
that you want include for you to look at that It's kinda interspersed
between images. So you want to have images
and you want to have words. And for me, I love to set it to music because I
think that just adds to overall I feel an emotion
of the video vision board. So let's break all of
these things down. So images, here, we have a picture of a house like if there
is a particular house, if you have a direct
address that you want to live or a neighborhood, I would want hundred per cent. Get a little like Zillow picture or the style
of house that you want, or even a map of the area
that you want to live in. I would just copy
paste that right into my saved images for
my vision board. If you want to bake more, I would have pictures of baking. If you want to become a potter. I have pottery here. If you want to generally
be creative, more craft, more handcrafts,
which are kids more. You want to start
embroidery, you want to, so you want to write a book, whatever that goal is, I would find some kind of
pictorial representations, some kind of image
representation in order to really drive that
picture, that thought, that idea into your mind
so that when you see it, it evokes that emotion that
you are going to achieve, that, that, that is your goal, that is what you're
working toward. A degree. Get a picture of the
degree that you want. If it is a certain dollar amount that you want to make
by the end of the year, put that dollar amount or create that dollar amount
when we get to words. So let's just talk about that. Let's talk about
not just images, but how words can
be images as well. And I have some examples here. Some of these I found just searching for the word and
different images online, but you can also just
make your own Word Art. It doesn't take a
whole lot of thought. There are several
programs you can use where they already
have something flies, something funky set up, and you erase their
words, put yours in. And it doesn't have to be like these are abstract
concepts here, Joy, believe, love,
action, words. It can really be just
as simple as Thank. If you want more ideas, just having that word, think there to help you to think around the ideas that
you want to come to you Just like I mentioned before, you can have quote that
either you find online there. Pinterest is full of quotes. You-all full of
beautiful image Quotes, quotes done up
beautifully in images. But you can also put your own. Just like I said, I am full of skills
and resources. Type that up in a little. Already done for me. It's template Word
program and not MS Word. I know y'all, I'm dating myself. But you want to use some kind of template to
make it quick and easy. You can save it an image
so that you can put it into your video vision board. So between words and
images and music, this is what you're
going to come up with, an order to have the most effective Video
Vision Board possible. So let's talk about music. Now. You're music can be calming,
happy, joyful, energetic, inspiring, or your
favorite song. Maybe lean more
toward instrumentals. Because I want my brain to focus on those images
that I'm looking at, those quotes that
I'm looking at, I wanna be able to process those things
and just let the music be a lovely background
that evokes emotion. So this is, this is pretty
key because you want emotion. So fuel these images
and these words that you are looking at on
your video vision board. The emotion is like the gas, the go Jews, the, the
five-hour energy, the thing really propel
your goals forward, propel your
subconscious minds and seek out ways to
get to your goals. So that's why music is so key. That's why all of these
things really work in tandem together in order to help
you transform your life, achieve your goals, and really get to a place where
you want to be. So for me, the music
is not a throwaway. It's not just background. It is 100% a key function and helping getting
that emotion and that feeling that I
want to feel when I look at those images and
when I consider those words, those quotes, those mantras
in my video vision board. So the next step for us guys is really to figure out how
to put it altogether. And that's what I'm going to
show you in the next lesson.
4. Video Vison Board Lesson 3: Let's Make a Video Vision Board Together!: Let's Make a Video
Vision Board Together. I'm just going to
take us to Canva. And here I'm going
to select video. That's going to open
up the video screen. Now, once in here, you can choose
different templates or you can do what
I choose to do. And that is to go to the photo
section in the menu bar, which is slightly cut off. So I apologize. In the search box, I choose words that
are important for me to be reminded of for
my Video Vision Board. So some of it is going to
be creativity related. Some of it is going to be
about travel or about money, but I just choose the words that I need for
that particular screen. So in this one I'm
choosing creativity. I love this picture
of Frida Kahlo. So I'll probably grab that. As well as some others. You see there's so
many selections, so many bright colors. And what you can do is just drag it and drop it right
on your screen. You can hit that plus sign
to add another screen. So each one is going to
automatically be about 5 s long. If you like it
longer or shorter, you can drag the end of
it and that will give you a longer or shorter amount of time that that particular
thing is on the screen. You can pause this video as
many times as you need to. I'm just going through
different search prompts. This one is creative quotes. And I'm just grabbing things that kinda speak to me visually, speak to my goals, and I'm dropping them
into a new screen. This is how it works in Canva. If you are using Google Slides, it works very similarly. If you have some other
video editing program that you prefer, then they all work
in a similar way. But this is the
one that I chose. I would definitely
suggest looking up the simplest way to do this, because this is something
that you want to just have ready go. You don't want to spend
a ton of time on it. You just want to choose things that are going to speak to you, are going to prompt
you into action. Because we want this
to be a video that we watch like first
thing in the morning, last thing at night. Just something to jog our subconscious mind to
keep it focused on goals. I think I have a lot
of pictures here. I'm probably going to go through and do some
words as well. So what I like to
do is start with a blank screen and I just go up to the
little colors icon, that little square up there. I love choosing these
blended colors. So I'm just going to choose a background there
and then go over to the texts function
and choose just, these are beautiful
texts combinations that they already put together. Some of them say things that I already wants to be reminded of. So I'm going to
just select a few and put them on my screen here. Now, if you'd like to change
the color you can use, they don't all have
to be the same color. I'm going to choose a
different combination here. And if you would like to change
the words that they have, that's just a matter of double-clicking the
word and highlighting it so that you can put in the words that
you need it to say. So this part right here
is not necessarily inspirational quotes
that are premade. It's just what you need
as far as your goals. You can put a mantra in here. You can put just a
couple of words. I'm going to choose world traveler because I
would like to travel more. But if you have a
favorite quote that is not listed in
the photographs, that something that you can
into the screen yourself. Or even say if you are
working our career goals, put in the title that
you're going for, putting CEO or CFO or whichever, see that you want to be. So since I'm putting in things
about traveling the world, I just went to look for photographs that
really spoke to me. A couple of airplanes in the air Think I can find a picture
of maybe passports. There's a globe here. But again, that's just the
quick five-second visual that is going to prompt my
mind to work on that goal. I think I want to
do some searches for money, images of money. I would like to draw more
money into my life in order to do this world traveling
and creative ventures. Think this works here. And I'm just going to hit
this plus sign again. Maybe search for success. It's funny because
you never know what Canva or whatever
program you're using. You never know what those prompts are going to
pull up as far as images. So I just, you know, like, what's a
picture of success? Like I just put whatever I'm thinking and
the search bar and just see what sort of images come
up that may speak to me. Some interesting ones here. I like this quote, I am the
success story. I like that. So at the bottom here you
can see the timestamp. This is telling me
how long my video is. So we're up to about
a minute and 20 s, and I think it's time
to add some music. So I just went to the
audio section in Canva. You can preview the
audio beforehand. Again, I like to use
things that are going to draw upbeat, a positive emotion. And you just see, don't make my mistake. You want to make
sure your cursor, your video cursor is all
the way at the beginning of your images before you click on the music
that you selected. So let's try this. I gotta move my cursor back up. And then I can
click on my music. And now I have
music for emotion. I have all my images. And we're ready to watch this
