 Welcome back to my channel. My name is Nika and this is high black girl a channel That's all about helping you live your life at your absolute highest potential and in today's video I'm going to show you how to create a vision board in Canada Similar to this one my vision board, but first before we can jump into that We have to take some time to reflect on where we've been if we're going to know how we're going to live like First before we can know where we're going we have to take some time to reflect on where we've been So my first step before I start making my vision board is actually to take a moment of reflection Before I create my vision board. I have to do my reflections. I like to just take my Journal and just take some time flipping through the pages saying what I really loved about the year What I didn't really like so much and if you need some examples I'm going to share some of mine with you Literally right now. All right, so I like to focus on glows and grows So your glows are things that went really well throughout your life So things in 2022 that you loved and you felt went swimmingly well And you want to just keep going into 2023 and then also your gross things that you know Maybe need a little water. Maybe need a little sunlight and can really improve So some of my examples are my first glow is Travel I was able to leave my job in 2022 and travel in Europe. It was one of not my first time my first time in like Portugal and Lisbon Lisbon is in Portugal My first time in Spain And my first time in London, I also went to Marseille, France and honestly I have a whole like travel vlog series if you want to check this out But I really enjoyed that and I had no idea that it was going to even happen like life Just went so crazy and I just was really open to opportunities And so in 2023 I want to continue to prioritize travel and really continue to be open To the travel opportunities that come my way. Okay, so my second glow And like an example for you guys is really building community Because I was no longer working a nine-to-five job. I kind of missed that like human interaction So I really put myself out there at my yoga studio I'm also a yoga teacher if you didn't know you can check out my day in the life of the yoga instructor in New York City here But then not even just at my studio Also at Y7 Another yoga studio and then at SoulCycle as well. I'm really sorry to like make friends With the people I work out with and like hang out with them And that's just been a really great way for me to build community and something that I want to continue to do in 2023 so an area that I didn't do so well in and something that I really really want to grow and facilitate in 2023 is Content creation. I did not have a YouTube goal for the year of 2022. I'm wanting to get to 500 subscribers I'm filming this in January of 2023, and I think I'm at 463 so if you want to do me a favor and go ahead and press subscribe I would really appreciate it. I'm gonna make a new goal for this year Not sure what it is yet, but I definitely want to get more subscribers than I have now So I really want to focus on creating more content and just being really consistent with it in the new year and then my second grow Just like as an example for you guys I ended up dating like two really crappy guys in 2022 and so in 2023 I want to put myself out there a little bit more and just go on more dates I don't want to download any of the dating apps. So I'm not sure how This is gonna happen. I think if I just manifest everything will come to me So that's kind of my focus areas and some of the reflections and I felt comfortable sharing with you guys So take some time now Journal Reflects are your journal from the year and see you know what was glowing and what could be growing in the new year Vision who you want to be in 2023? These can also be called New Year's resolutions I mean I want to be so honestly like just start thinking of the habits of like your ideal life So so an example to make this a little bit easier a little bit more digestible for you One of my new year's resolutions is I want to start waking up at 6 a.m Again, I did this for maybe two or three months straight in 2022 but then I ended up falling off so My goal to help facilitate this in my life is to create morning routines and nighttime routines That help to grow this habit of waking up at 6 a.m Another example is I really want to get back into reading I got really great at it actually at the end of 2022 And my key was like just reading things that felt good reading things that I was like Actually excited to read for a while in like 20 20 and 2022 and their earlier Bites of that year. I was trying to just read these like really dense like self-help books But I realized what I actually wanted to read were just like fun Light-hearted romance novels. So I started to just let go of the limitations I had on my reading habits, you know, not every book on your shelf has to be like knowledgeable or Informative or you know, you're trying to learn something about budgeting or finance or just anything, you know Sometimes you can read just for fun and I find that I read the most when I'm primarily reading for fun So that in addition to not being on myself was a strict like book budget as well I think those are really gonna help me just continue to grow my reading habits So if I really want a book, I don't care about how much it costs. I just buy it because I know I want to read more. All right. And then the last example I want to share with you is travel so I wanted to Travel more in 2022 and I definitely did and I want to keep this behavior going in 2023 So a person who travels a lot Isn't going to be super nick picky when their friends want to put together a trip Whenever my friends invite me on a trip. I honestly just say yes Um, you know someone who travels a lot also isn't going to be you know Kind of tied down and waiting for their friends to plan a trip for them to go somewhere So I also really just embraced traveling solo as well And I think just continuing those habits in 2023 is going to help Like keep me aligned With the traveling girl that I want to be slash already am So you take some time Think about who you want to be in 2023 and where are some resolutions that can kind of help Manifest and really facilitate that growth for you and the new year Yay. All right. Let's get to Vision board planning Stop three. Okay. So now at this point you've done all of your pre-planning You are ready to jump into canva and make your vision board So I'm really excited to show you guys my vision board right now I love using canva because I just think it's a really fun like easy tool To be creative and it's totally free This is not sponsored by canva, but maybe you will manifest that for 2023 All right, let's jump right in so this is my 2023 vision board As you can see I really started to incorporate some of those things that we talked about but You guys don't want to see my vision board. You want to see how you can make your own So let's go to a new page I like to start with the year right in the center and then My theme for the year which this year it's elevate with me So when I'm making my vision board on camera. I first like to find something that's like Aesthetic to be a background. So I quite literally search aesthetic background I like to use photos And then I believe this is the one I use Because it's calling to me right now But you know, you could use anything that you wanted to use if you drive them It would automatically just make it take like the full With of the canvas. So it's nice to have like a cute little like link sleep I also like to use things that are already kind of collagee because I feel like that helps just Make the process like a little bit easier I'm going to leave that I'll just show you guys how I made mine exactly So the next thing I wanted to do was look up photos of the places that I wanted to travel So London is one of the key places that I want to travel this year. I believe I talk Oh, I did like an illustration of the London bridge But for the purposes of this I'm just going to show you how to use like one of these photos Let's say I used a photo of the London bridge instead I would go to edit the image remove the background Give it a minute for it to load Beautiful and then I would just click apply Then I would just move it around until we're Canva girl Don't do it to me now All right, girl All right She's with us. She's back with us and then I just put it like wherever it makes sense Another place. I really want to go is Paris specifically. I want to go to the Or the Lurg I've been there. I want to go again. This is the image that I like the most So I just did the same thing edit image background remover Bam click apply And then you kind of just oops Everything will work out for you And then let's move that down here actually This is a little better Put this one over here I like kind of like the two cities classic clashing to you. I think that's kind of cute And then I would just keep doing that process with like anywhere I wanted to travel And then after I get kind of like all the images up there. So here I have LA I have the Paris. This is um a university in London Um, I then started to add in just like stuff about continuing the life that I already live in 2022. So I live in Brooklyn So we just keep that there. I also did like New York City Um, but this time instead of looking at photos I wanted to get some graphics So I was like, oh, I really like this line thing. So I added that in here Change the color Just to make it, you know, kind of match my aesthetic And I kind of just kept doing that until I felt like it was full enough Um to where I was kind of happy. So you can see here. I have some books Um, I also have like a kind of a book tower that you may or may not be able to see I have some money here because I really want to pay off my credit card debt this year. Um 10k balloons because I guess I want to hit 10k on youtube that sounds really really ambitious This mandala to represent yoga And just you know, I just kept kind of stacking stuff up for the background for the 2022 I just kind of looked up pieces of paper And I just kind of kept like adding it until I felt like it was a really cool like kind of aesthetically pleasing like just Bunch of little scraps of paper. Um, I really like a scrap bulk vibe That might not be your vibe Uh, but just do you know, whatever you think looks good. So I kind of just kept going like this Until I felt that it was you know, everything looked nice at this little piece Great. Um, so let me know in the comments below if you guys have any questions This is essentially just how I did my vision board What I also really like about canva is you can resize things. So this is like youtube thumbnail size Um, but if I wanted to make it like iphone size, I can do that Phone wall paper you just click it and it'll automatically resize it So you can kind of fit your phone wallpaper and let me just show you How that would look It looks kind of okay I might have to reconfigure it a little a little bit, but basically you get the gist um I don't know we'll see I'll I'll play with this later, but Probably not going to include that because I actually don't like the way that looks Well, I forgot what I was saying and now I'm on a tangent. So let's just wrap up the video All right, thank you so so much for watching make sure you give this video a thumbs up Especially if you made it all the way to the end and please do me a favor and subscribe You know, I have a bunch of goals for the year.
