If you’ve got a dream you’re intent on pursuing, chances are you’re going to bog down at some point.

That’s just the way dreams are.

But, don’t despair!

These moments are actually good for your dream, because they force you to stop and rethink your approach if you want to continue.

That’s the only way you can find the footing to continue, and in that process, you’re forced to learn and grow.

I’ve found a way to head off many of those “stalls” … I visualize.

And I set aside 30 minutes with no interruptions every day to visualize my dream.

I’ve found that nothing can turn my mind around as effectively as visualizing.

Visualizing your dream can create hope were there was none, clarity in a space of confusion, and immeasurable inspiration.

Our minds and the power we have to to mentally visualize our own reality has been compared to a gold mine. Earl Nightengale says that visualizing will connect us with deep inner truths that most of us simply can’t tap into consciously.

“Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.”

So basically, visualizing is digging deep into our heart and mind so that we can look clearly at what we want. See it. Feel it. Taste it. What does it smell like? Look at how it is impacting your life and those around you.  

It takes a little practice to really do this. Our minds have been taught to focus on “reality” and if you’re anything like me and most of the world, it may take some time for you to get comfortable with thinking and visualizing what seems impossible.

But it’s worth the effort.

Because visualizing gives us permission to dream. We are able to vividly see ourselves living a different life, feeling the feelings, smelling the smells, and owning the power. We see a higher, truer aspect of ourselves, and in that instant, understand how unstoppable we really can be.

It lets us see ourselves leading a life of power and abundance and allows us to acknowledge that we really can do whatever we dream about. We are able to see how much impact we can have, and how much we can actually accomplish by pursuing our dream. 

You can truly begin to change your life by spending 30 minutes a day visualizing your dream.

As Earl Nightengale says, “We become what we think about.”

The way to make your dream a reality is to then take action. Dreaming alone will not bring you success.

So here’s the challenge for today.  Take 30 minutes today without any distractions and visualize your dream.

Then take an action step to make your dream a reality. Do this for the next 7 days. Then do it for another 7 days.

Evaluate what’s been happening over the past two weeks – Your life is getting better isn’t it ?  

I thought so …

Living my dream,

Lori
