Re-learning Visualization

I’ve been thinking a lot today about how to create the best mental foundation for the physical reality I’m in, and I was reading my Thoughts from the Universe that I’ve been missing the last 73 days. And I came across one that stresses visualization…. and you know what?

Ever since around my mid-20s, I lost a big part of my ability to visualize somehow. I think maybe when I was trying to get over some heartbreak or another, I stopped visualizing long enough for those neurons to stop firing together.

And yet? Spontaneously I sometimes can still envision things when I don’t think about it, so I know I still have the ability, just not the control. In the meantime I’ve just been practicing positive focus as worry in reverse, which has helped dramatically as well.

So. Anyway.

I realized what I need to do, and this will help me re-learn visualization. All I need to do is focus on remembering the last time I saw something that looks like what I want to have – imagination takes over from there.

For example, I start out thinking… I’d love to have a proud and peaceful moment with my mother when I see her tomorrow. And I wondered how to visualize that. I thought, hey she’ll probably look happy. And the last time I remember seeing her with a smile popped into my head!

So all I had to do was take that picture from Saturday and let my imagination adjust and expand it. Try and and let me know how it works for you.

About the Author

My name is Love refers to the poetic expression of my Yoruba name. Literally it's closer to "I loved her since she was in my belly" or less crudely "I loved her since she was created". Poetic translation, "loved since conception." Which is fitting because when I love, that's how I love. This blog is a personal recounting of all the things I love, people past and present, places, things, hobbies, life.
