2026 is approaching, guys! It’s crazy how fast this year went. It doesn’t feel real. But regardless of what you feel, it’s time to set your intention for this new year. Personally, I set goals all throughout the year. I don’t want to wait for a specific time. People set their intentions by creating a vision board, writing their goals down, writing a letter to themselves, and many other unique ways. But today I want to focus on one specific way you could set the intention for this year: a mind movie.

Keep reading, and I’ll show you exactly what a mind movie is, how to create one, and how you can use it most effectively.

Enjoy. 

What Is a Mind Movie?

A mind movie is essentially like a vision board. It’s the same concept: take images that represent your dream life, put them somewhere, and use them as a tool of reminder and manifestation. In a way it keeps you accountable If you constantly have a reminder of what you’re striving towards, the more likely you are to spend your day taking action aligned with your goals

By putting together pictures or video clips, music that inspires you, and affirming or visualizing your success, you have a source of motivation that reminds you of what you’re working towards. 

How to Create a Mind Movie

1. Write what you really want for the future somewhere:

Clarity and specificity are key when creating your mind movie. It is easier for our minds to think logically about our manifestations and therefore easier for us to trudge forward with our goals. So, be very specific in what you desire for your future.

Here are some questions to ask yourself while deciding what you should put into your mind movie:

• Where would you be if you had no restriction?
• What opportunities are you searching for? 
• What would success look and feel like?
• What are some dreams I once had but had to let go of? 

There are many, many other questions you could ask to get to the bottom of what you want for your future; I just wanted to push you in the right direction.

Think of things like where you want your business to be, how much you will be making monthly, where you’ll travel to, what kind of relationships you will have, what type of car you’ll drive, and anything else that helps you get super clear on your desired future.

2. Gather images that reflect your dream life:

Since this is for your eyes only, there are no restrictions on where you can get images from. Pinterest, Canva, and Pexels are all great places to get videos or pictures from. 

When you see the images, you should know exactly what you are trying to manifest with that picture or video. For example, if you are manifesting driving a Porsche, include media with a Porsche. If you want to make a certain amount of money, include media that shows a specific amount of money in a bank account balance. 

While looking for media, be sure to keep note of the ones that catch your eye. Your mind movies should be made in a way that is visually appealing to you in order to stay engaged and consistent while using your mind movie.  

3. Create personalized affirmations

While looking at your mind movie, you should also be repeating affirmations in your mind. This has a variety of benefits, from keeping you present in the moment to creating new neural pathways. 

When creating your affirmations, keep them very personalized and specific. 

Framework for creating affirmations:

1. Identify your goals
2. Rewire any negative thoughts
3. Keep it very short and specific
4. Make it positive

Creating your affirmations is very simple. You could go online and search for affirmations, but when you create your own, this whole mind movie process feels more official. It feels like this visualization process is fully yours if you create it purely from your own desires and creativity. 

4. Choose music that makes you feel successful

I love music, and I’m so glad this mind movie technique was created. Music is so influential on our subconscious mind. High-frequency music that is positive and lifts you up helps to get rid of limiting beliefs, while low-vibrational music that has negative or chaotic energy leaves you feeling stressed and anxious. 

You want to choose music that has a high frequency. Whether it is just an instrumental or empowering lyrics, high-frequency music sends uplifting messages to your subconscious while also supporting your mental and emotional well-being.

In a way, a mind movie is sort of like music therapy. Music therapy has been found to have so many benefits, from helping with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and chronic illness by activating reward systems and releasing feel-good chemicals such as dopamine.  

How to pick the perfect song:

1. Think of any song that immediately makes you feel amazing
2. Ask yourself if it motivates you or makes you picture an amazing future for yourself
3. Decide whether or not you actually enjoy listening to the song
4. Choose a song you can remember easily and are excited to listen to
5. Remember that whenever you hear the song, you will be reminded of your desired future

The song should push you to work towards your goals. It shouldn’t distract you or hinder your progress. 

5. Edit it:

When you edit your mind movie, remember it doesn’t have to be extremely well done. I know you’re not a pro editor. Or maybe you are. Regardless, you should have fun while creating your mind movie. 

You could create your mind movie in Canva, CapCut, or anything else you feel comfortable with. 

How to Effectively Use Your Mind Movie:

1. Watch with intention

Schedule specific time out in your day to watch your mind movie. Make it part of your routine. Since this movie is for manifesting and rewriting your subconscious mind in order to hold your dream life, watch your mind movie in the morning to serve as a reminder on how to go about your day as well as at night.

Watching your mind movie at night is so impactful for rewiring your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagination and real experience; it takes everything it is given as the truth, and then it aligns your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to match.  Because of this, the best time to watch your mind movie is before you go to sleep. 

2. Feel the emotions very deeply

Your mind movie should strike up emotions that correlate with creating wealth and success. These emotions should be deeply aligned with your future goals. In order to create these emotions, you need to visualize the desired outcome and remember all the emotions that develop with it. 

Focus on feeling positive emotions in order to raise your frequency. Curate gratitude, joy, excitement, and any other emotions you believe will get you closer towards your goal. 

3. Take aligned actions

I wish that creating a mind movie was some magical spell that guaranteed all your dreams would come true, but that’s not the case. Engaging with your mind movie should be followed by practical action that gets you closer towards your goals. 

If your goal is to make x amount of money, go work on your business. Wishing doesn’t get anyone anywhere. You need to believe that it’ll work for you because a higher power has your back, but then you work like you are the only one responsible for your future. 

4. Be consistent and surrender

You need to be consistently engaging with your mind movie. Don’t just create it, forget about it, and then let it sit there. Set a reminder on your phone to make sure you dedicate some time to aligning with your desired future. Consistency is a success magnet.

Surrender is also super important. Things will work out in amazing ways. Ways you would have never expected. Don’t put your dreams into a box. As long as you keep working strategically and intelligently, you will be rewarded with success. 

Conclusion

A mind movie is sort of like a vision board, except in video form, with music in the background. Even if you don’t want your symbol of all you want to accomplish online, you can still create a physical vision board and then play music whenever you look at it. Do what works for you. 

If you took away anything from this article, I hope you took away the fact that just looking at your mind movie won’t do much; you need to take consistent small steps towards your goals. With each step you ultimately get closer to your goal, so it doesn’t matter how big or small it is.
