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.
