How I Created A Vision Board On Canva
/Speaking from the heart, I did not want to create New Year’s resolution goals this year. My 2020 goals weren’t even met. In fact, I don’t even remember what they were. I’m sure one of them was to loose 25 lbs., which I didn’t do.
I didn’t want to treat my 2021 goals like an early 2000’s baby daddy...create them then abandon them... I wanted to focus on being the responsible person who actually accomplishes what they set out to do.
So instead of creating goals, I created a vision board using Canva. I typed “vision boards” in the canva search engine and selected a template that I liked. Then I added words, affirmations, a scripture, and visuals that defined and encouraged the type of person I wanted to evolve into during 2021.
A lot of thought went into the creation of my board. I typed stewardship right on the top because I am becoming a better steward of my health and wealth. The Bible says that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. So, on the right side of my board I placed a scripture that relates to stewardship.
Also, I wrote affirmations that defined the type of character I am developing. Words like positively assertive, self-controlled, balanced, and loving are on my board.
Because I tend to worry, I typed “TRUST GOD” in large print, so that it’s the first thing my eye is drawn to. I placed the visual of the girl praying right next to those words “TRUST GOD”, so that I am reminded to pray more and worry less. I made sure she looked liked me and that the fitness picture did too. I didn’t want to place an unrealistically fit woman on my board...no, I wanted to add a picture of a woman of color with a body shape that was realistic for me to achieve this year.
I strongly believe that if you want to change your actions, then you have to change your mind, and if you want to change your mind then you have to change what you put in it. Positive and uplifting words, affirmations, and visuals that you look at and say out loud everyday will give you the power to transform.
If I had a goal this year, it would be just that...to transforms into a greater version of my self. My vision board, words, and actions will lead to the transformation I desire. Your can do the same for you. Royals, let’s be focused on evolving more than the resolving.
