Back on new years eve this year my wife and I sat down with a couple of glases of wine and a large pile of magazines randomly accumulated throughout the previous few months.
The plan for the evening was to create visualisation boards, one each, on which we would stick images which we wanted to focus on and bring into our reality, alot of people are now referring to this as manifesting, or creating your own reality.
The process was actually great fun and not only did it allow us to see what each other wanted to change or work towards, but we also found that we chose very similar goals, in fact we even picked exactly the same images in a couple of instances - strange seeing as we found them in completely different magazines (we didn’t look at each others boards until we were both finished).
Once we had completed the visualisation boards, we stuck them on our bedroom walls, where we would spend at least 5 minutes focusing on the elements each day whilst getting dressed.
This is a great way to focus your mind on where you are heading, it’s almost like a quick and easy meditation exercise, and I found that I had new energy and enthusiasm for life every day after starting my day in this way.
I’ve mentioned in previous posts that after watching ‘The Secret’ I have been able to start creating my own reality every day by being aware of what I’m thinking and how I feel about each thought, if the thought is making me feel anything other than good feelings (feelings of love) then I choose to think about an alternative which deals with the issues in a way which makes me feel good. The easiest way to do this is either through visualising what you want to happen, or by writing down (sometimes called scripting) what you want to happen.
Here’s a real life scenario:
I had been worrying about my relationship with my new boss, he was distant and gave me no feedback as to whether I was performing well or badly. I had no idea whether this was going to be a relationship which could progress and benefit him, me or the company. It got to the stage where I would constantly be analysing what he might be thinking about the work i was doing for him, and generally these thoughts were based around fear that I might lose my job.
What I did:
I wrote down all the things which were bothering me about the situation. Then I visualised and wrote down exactly how I wanted the relationship to change, what I wanted my boss to provide for me, and where the relationship should end up. Over the next few weeks I stopped analysing what might go wrong before a meeting, and started expecting my visualised new reality.
What happened next?
Within a month I had received a large pay rise, in meetings my boss was smiling, joking and even complimented my work once (which I had been told would never happen from other people managed by this person) and he started to be the boss I had visualised.
To start with visualising feels like a wish list, lying to yourself, but if you choose things which you believe can happen in your life, which make you feel good (all good feelings are feelings of love) and then focus on these things with a sense of deserved expectancy, you’ll be surprised what will present itself.
One last thing to mention is that once you’ve decided what you want and where you’re going, be aware that opportunities to move towards your goals will appear, maybe in a casual conversation, maybe in a classified ad you glance at, but you can be sure they’re on their way. Just saying to yourself ‘I’m looking forward to the new opportunities today is bringing my way’ will help you be aware and spot these doors which you have brought into your reality.
