Three Ways to Create Your Own Virtual Vision Board

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally finished the latest virtual vision board with positive affirmations. Many thanks to Rob Cooke of Powerbook Studio for the background music!


It's a short 2 1/2 minute video, but it took so long to make because I had to gather all the pictures together and they had to be "just the right" picture!

Three Ways to Create Your Own Virtual Vision Board

It's fairly easy to create your own virtual vision board. It's great to pop in during road trips (only if you're a passenger, that is!) or take with you when you're traveling. Below are three ways you can create your own virtual board...

1. If you use Microsoft as your operating system, most likely you already have the free software, Windows Movie Maker. To learn how to use Windows Movie Maker, visit the Microsoft website. There are also various tutorial videos at YouTube. Here's a tutorial that I like.

2. Another way to create a virtual vision board is by using the software that I mentioned before.

3. If you simply don't have the time to put together your own video, then you could hire me to create a custom one for you! What are your goals? Let me know and I can whip up a video for you...Contact me: maria[at]salondemaria.info

My New Vision Board/Book Sample

On yesterday's Oprah show they talked about vision boards and people came on to show samples of their own vision board. Recently I started a new vision board - actually, it's more like a vision book. I still have my old vision board that I hang on the wall in front of my treadmill, however, I wanted something compact that I could take with me while I travel.

I went to Michael's and purchased this sketchbook...It's a different type of sketchbook because not only does it have blank pages for you to sketch or paste pictures on, the other side is lined so you can write down notes, goals, or affirmations that go along with the pictures.

Make sure to check out this virtual vision board I created that you can watch on your computer...

Visualization Techniques, Exercises, and Vision Boards

During my plane ride home from Chicago, I read a book titled Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain. This book shares different methods and exercises to help one get hold of that imagination that many of us have forgotten. Remember when you played pretend when you were young? I know I liked to pretend that I was Wonder Woman and had these powerful forces (if I only knew then what I know now!) Creative Visualization covers much of what I’ve preached here before…like writing down affirmations and outflowing. Here’s a snippet from the book:

“The process of change does not occur on superficial levels, through mere “positive thinking”. It involves exploring, discovering, and changing our deepest, most basic attitudes of life. That is why learning to use creative visualization can become an experience of deep and meaningful growth. In the process we often discover ways in which we have been holding ourselves back, blocking ourselves from achieving satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives through our fears and unconscious beliefs. Once seen clearly, these limiting attitudes can often be dissolved through the creative visualization process…”

One of the methods taught in the book is making a “treasure map” which is similar to a vision board. Here’s a little sample of my own personal visualization board:


I recently discovered this software that you can use to create these virtual vision boards on your computer. For someone like me who works on the computer constantly, then I think this would also be a good tool to have.

How are you visualizing?
