Flowing from Uninspired to Fun

January 23, 2025

I made a GIF for my 2025 intention creation. I had some fun creating it after not feeling very inspired. The things I did in the past, making a little mind movie or a still digital picture with an overall theme and 3 or 4 intentions, just weren't doing it for me this time. 

So for the first ten minutes of our co-working session, I started playing around on Canva with AI, not knowing what I wanted to create.

I got AI to generate an image by using this prompt: A vision board illustrating appreciation and going with the flow of the universe. 

The images were ok, but not really speaking to me. It might have something to do with how much I play with AI. As with many things, it can get a bit mundane with repeated use.

Then I played around and used the drawing tool to write on the image. It looked pretty bad, like when they make you sign your name electronically and it looks nothing like your signature. Plus my hand shakes so I can't draw straight lines. So it was bad but made me laugh. 

On the second go of our co-working session, I played around with fonts. Just making the words into circles and getting them to pulse and rotate around the planets made me laugh.

I just "watched" the GIF while playing my theme song for this year, Magic by Olivia Newton-John. 

I ended up liking my creation even though I started off uninspired. 

Thanks Jacquie and Karen for joining me today. I'm glad y'all were there to help me  get started so I could find my way to having some fun and enjoying the end result too.

If you're working on any intention creations and want some fun accompaniment, you can play the video below while you work. I had fun making it with all the funky snowmen and the carefree music.
