HOW TO MAKE A DIGITAL VISION BOARD FOR YOUR PHONE WITH CANVA

A visual representation of your written goals

How to make a digital vision board for 2020 goal setting - new year resolutions - 2020 intentions #goalsetting #newyearresolutions #2020intentions #freeprintable

In this video I walk through how to make a digital vision board for your phone wallpaper using the free graphic design tool Canva.com

A vision board or dream board or goals board is a physical representation of our written goals

Canva is an amazing tool that helps anyone make great designs! With this free tool we’ll be creating our digital vision board which we can then set as our mobile phone wallpaper or tablet wallpaper. Using the same concept you can make one for your laptop or I-mac or desktop wallpaper.

I explain what a vision board is, how to create one and use one.

The video goes over these steps.

1.    Set up a wallpaper size artboard

2.    How to find and choose images and jpegs for your vision board

3.    Save your images for the vision board

4.    How to upload your jpegs, photos and images to canva

5.    How to use grids to create your dream board

6.    Things to consider when laying out your images

7.    How to add text

8.    How to add rectangles for contrast for text

9.    How to save and export your vision board

How to make a digital vision board for your phone with canva 2020 pins 2-02

I actually made this video on the fly and unplanned just so you can see how quick and easy it is!

I’d love to see your finished vision boards or whats on them. Comment below or share on social media and tag me @itstartswiththedream or use the hashtag #itstartswiththedream

A vision board is a visual version of your goals

Whilst goals are quite specific a vision board is more about setting a mood, creating a feeling that you connect with that when you see your board, you’re excited, passionate about it, working on your dreams and making them come true. Include on your visions board images that represent your dreams, goals, and desires. Pick images to cover the key areas of life like family, romantic relationships, work/business, calling/purpose, causes, health & body, leisure and downtime.
 
There are absolutely no rules!
 
It’s what ever you connect with.  I love to include motivations quotes and sayings. You can use a colour scheme on your dream board too. Really have some fun with it. Let yourself go, don’t hold back put what you fancy on it that inspires you to dream. Use this dream board hand in hand with your goals. Look at the vision board daily. Have it as your screen saver, on your phone, print it out and pin it up. Reviews your goals often too.
 
Creating goals and a vision board is one of the top tips on my blog post, 10 Success habits. if you want to see the other 9 visit bit.ly/goalcol
 
I also have another video making one for a desktop that includes a link to a free template.

Why people don't want coaching 🤔 can you relate?

I've definitely been there. I have been worried a coach will push me harder than feels comfortable or they'd think my worries were silly or belittle me.

My coaching is client led, safe and confidential. 

I don't judge your goals or desires. I will hold up a mirror to your life but in a gentle and kind way. 

If you want monthly low cost and low commitment support to test the waters head to the link in my bio "DYD Monthly Coaching

You don’t need a crisis to want more.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet knowing:
“I’m meant to express something.”
“I’m meant to build something.”
“I’m meant to live with more intention.”

If you’ve been feeling that nudge, you’re not imagining it.
You might just need space and support to listen.

I’ve opened a gentle, month-to-month 1:1 support space for exactly this season 🤍

Ever felt like you can’t show up because you haven’t fully arrived in the very thing you teach or coach on?

That whisper of “Who am I to help anyone when I’m still figuring this out?” can feel loud.

I’ve walked through that this year. Anxiety rose up in a way I didn’t expect, and it had me feeling like a fraud.  You may also be having some wobbles around the things you teach or share on it. It's normal. 

The journey of growth and healing isn't linear.

But these moments don’t disqualify you. They deepen you. They rebuild character, sharpen compassion and reconnect you to what really matters.

If you’re feeling wobbly, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, I made something to get you from crisis to clarity.

My free masterclass, Crisis to Clarity, is available to watch until the end of the year.
Grab a warm drink, a notebook,  let’s get you feeling clear and expectant for the year ahead ✨

A year or so after my wedding I did the big chop. If you're not mixed or black you may not be familiar with the phrase. It's cutting off your chemically straightened hair to grow your natural hair back. 

At this point I was done with living to western beauty standards. This was my first radical act of self love, of loving who creator God had made me. 

Lets not pretend that longer hair and straight hair has been coveted in our communities, cutting it all off to go curly was not a little thing. Especially 20 years ago.

I didn't always love how my hair looked or came out in those early days. Especially as it reached the awkward length phase but I knew I wanted to be able to myself and be ok.

Forward 20 years and I'm in a different place with my hair. Some days I have fluffy edges that aren't slicked down 😆 p.s if you want more info on loving your natural hair check out @paigelewinofficial

Going natural was part of my healing and self acceptance journey. People still "wow" when they see old pictures of me with longer straight hair and I get it, but I'm in a place now where it won't affect how I feel about how my hair or the how I look today.

Healing isn't an overnight thing.

If you want someone to walk besides you in your healing journey whether it's faith based or not my doors are open. Let me know if you want to book a coaching discovery call. 

With grit and grace,
Chisomo

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections about identity, worth, dreams and why Christ is the only secure place to build from and be rooted in.

This episode came out of a voice note convo I had with one of my divine led cheerleaders. We were talking about identity work often found in coaching and self development and why it had been helpful but lacking.

I reflect on the impact of right roots in identity, goal setting and following your purpose.

🎧 Tune in now wherever you listen to podcasts.

And ask yourself: What has/have my identity/purpose and dreams been rooted in?

🔗bit.ly/bnerooted🔗

If you want to be build a rightly rooted business or ministry then check out my course Brand New Era, doors to self study are open until Thursday. It's $99 with a 2 part payment option.

It's a 4 module course that will take 4-8 weeks to help you root your identity in Christ, uncover your God given message and tie it together with your story and skills.

MODULE 1: CALLED & CHOSEN – ROOTED IN TRUTH, YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST

MODULE 2: YOUR MESSAGE MATTERS – Gain absolute clarity on your God-given message and why it must be shared

MODULE 3: FINDING YOUR PEOPLE - Identify the people you are uniquely designed to impact and why you’re the ideal person for them.

MODULE 4: BREAKING THE CHAINS - Identify and heal the fears, beliefs, and patterns that have kept you stuck.

Being a Christian Isn't Just a Label — It's a New Identity.

In this post, I share a powerful shift God is stirring in this season: moving from surface-level Christianity to deeply living as sons and daughters of God. This identity shift changes everything—how we live, ask, expect, and show up. Ready to live from your full identity?"

I talk more about this powerful shift in identity in module 1 of Brand New Era. And why it’s key when you want to share your God given message through a business, ministry or gift.

⁠Brand New Era⁠ the self study course is currently open until Thursday 10th July.

Watch or listen on the blog: bit.ly/bnedaughter

The dove, the rushing wind and the tongues of fire are ways the Holy Spirit has been described or experienced. 

Today is Pentecost when the spirit of God lit the church and we believers got to receive God's Spirit alive and living within us for personal transformation and to build his kingdom.

Be blessed 🕊️
