  Good morning from the Chicken Coop.
• 0:31
  So today we're talking about vision boards.
• 0:35
  So this time of year we talked about this going into the new
• 0:38
  year, some people like to do it at the end of the year, some
• 0:40
  people like to do it after their do their goal setting.
• 0:44
  So this year I've really been changing things up for myself
• 0:47
  because I've been trying to get myself inspired to get back into
• 0:52
  doing some artwork and some workouts that are different from
• 0:55
  them. What I've done as of the last
• 0:57
  couple of years, especially out through our pandemic time.
• 1:01
  And I started working on the idea of doing vision boards.
• 1:06
  Just to get myself, inspired saying I'm just going to sit
• 1:09
  down. I'm going to chop up a bunch of
• 1:11
  magazines. I'm going to pull out a bunch of
• 1:13
  stuff and I'm just going to start to do a collective of you
• 1:16
  know what makes me feel inspired, just to put it all
• 1:20
  together. So some people like to do one
• 1:23
  big vision board. I like to do many ended up with
• 1:26
  eight so far. Don't think I'm done yet.
• 1:28
  I know that sounds crazy, right? But I have eight currently and
• 1:33
  some of them are about, you know, specific goals.
• 1:36
  Some of them are about, you know, just being inspired for
• 1:41
  the most part. I mean, even the ones that are
• 1:43
  specific goals, they're kind of like, for my garden for growing
• 1:47
  the flowers because doing the flower garden is much harder
• 1:50
  than it sounds to do. A cut flower garden and you
• 1:54
  know, I've got some ideas for different things that I want to
• 1:57
  do for all of you guys. So, it's Been an interesting
• 2:02
  time because I reverse engineered it.
• 2:04
  I said, okay, you know what, I'm going to do, instead of just
• 2:06
  doing it, the typical way, writing my goals, making a board
• 2:10
  for each goal. I'm just going to do the boards
• 2:12
  and see what happens. So, in this process of doing it,
• 2:15
  I realized that there were a lot of parts of me that I felt like
• 2:20
  when I saw stuff, I'd get excited about but I had not
• 2:23
  actually taken it on. For instance, doing a lot more
• 2:28
  connecting in the local community by going out and
• 2:33
  actually, like, being a tourist in your town.
• 2:35
  Like, I realized all of a sudden, I'm like, really drawn
• 2:38
  to being a tourist in my own town.
• 2:40
  I'm looking for all the fun little things to do here and I
• 2:43
  thought, gosh, this is so interesting.
• 2:46
  Also, all of a sudden Pottery, like I've really never tried to
• 2:50
  do Pottery, but all of a sudden I was like, wow.
• 2:53
  Okay, I keep being drawn to these pictures and I didn't even
• 2:56
  realize it until I looked at the cumulative of what I had caught
• 3:00
  up. And decided that I wanted to
• 3:01
  create. So as I was going through them
• 3:04
  and sorting them out and trying to put them on boards, I realize
• 3:07
  that. Okay, so we need a different
• 3:09
  form of Art and then really, what was fascinating was I had
• 3:13
  this entire stack of just words, just random words that I put
• 3:20
  together and I started laughing. I said it almost look like a
• 3:23
  ransom note with the stacks of, you know, the old school, Ransom
• 3:27
  notes, when people would cut stuff out of the papers, and
• 3:29
  you'd see that in the old movies, Movies, but they were
• 3:31
  just piles and piles of all these inspirational words and I
• 3:35
  thought well what am I going to do with all these?
• 3:37
  And I always mix them into my vision boards anyway.
• 3:39
  But this was like a real distinction of how much I use
• 3:45
  language with everything that I do.
• 3:46
  And I'm always paying attention to the words that everyone uses
• 3:49
  because it's such a clue driven aspect of how people are
• 3:53
  thinking. So I said, you know what, I'm
• 3:55
  going to do a bored of just words and I have to tell you,
• 3:59
  wow, it was Wow factor. Which is why we're talking about
• 4:02
  it today. I had not thought to do
• 4:05
  something like that. It had not ever hit me where it
• 4:08
  was just words. And I was blown away by the
• 4:11
  experience of doing it, because it became a roadmap for the
• 4:15
  things I want to incorporate into myself that were just
• 4:19
  words. Just thoughts.
• 4:20
  Just a feelings and emotions, but nothing, no pictures other
• 4:25
  than the words. So I'm encouraging.
• 4:28
  You guys to maybe try this process.
• 4:30
  Or yourselves because now I'm looking at it and I can't stop
• 4:34
  looking at it because it seems apparently she likes it too
• 4:37
  because apparently it gives you this this boost to just see
• 4:42
  those words right in front of you.
• 4:44
  And know that somehow they found you because that's what it felt
• 4:48
  like. It felt like all these words
• 4:50
  found me and I didn't even realize it because I had just
• 4:53
  been cutting them out over the course of think I started doing
• 4:56
  this whole process of cut just randomly cutting things out
• 4:59
  around Thanksgiving. Been getting ready and I used to
• 5:02
  rush and force myself to try to do it when I was very immature
• 5:06
  about the whole process of self-development and trying to
• 5:09
  force it and I no longer force it.
• 5:11
  This is a this is a discovery, this is a peeling back of things
• 5:16
  and so when it comes it comes and they're there it wasn't all
• 5:20
  these words were just hanging out with me.
• 5:23
  So if you've never done it this way, I encourage you to try it
• 5:27
  because the words are incredible.
• 5:29
  So, I hope you guys Have a very blessed day, find your words,
• 5:33
  many of them and I actually will as soon as I have this all glued
• 5:37
  down, I'm going to take a picture of it and post it up on
• 5:41
  my Facebook page so that everybody can see it and maybe
• 5:44

• 5:47
