This is something that I have been practicing my whole life. “You will get there… or You are already there.”
It did become more real and eye opening as I got older and it started to become more frequent. Let me try to explain.
I would be going through a rough time that needed changing or redirection. It wouldn’t always be a negative to a positive. It can be where you want to see your life going? Then, I would start by visualizing what situation I no longer be in and focused on where I want to be in the future and how I wanted it to change. “You will be out of this soon” I would tell myself. Or “This too shall pass and you will be (enter goal here)”. This applied to allot of situations with work children, family, life goals, personal growth etc. It would always be a positive place or moment I envisioned myself to be in. Then, after holding onto that thought in my mind for a few minutes, making sure I saw all the details, I would let that new scene go and not think about it again.
Where do I want my life to go from here? I don’t think of how to get there, nor do I make a plan. I just create a scene I want to come true in my mind, focus on it, and let it go. All the positive thoughts flow into that goal each day without me even knowing. I believe this is due to the subconscious mind knowing that this is a goal it needs to make a reality. In doing so, I believe, the subconscious mind is creating a chain of effect in my thoughts and actions to achieve this goal/scene that I have made it.
Later on, maybe a year or two or a month later, those positive visions from the past become a reality. When this happens, I make sure to take the time to see how it all came to be. I watch it unfold like a mini movie and am amazed at all the events that had to take place to make that vision come true. To feel the accomplishment and peace in my mind in having made it to that goal is very humbling.
Here is an example of just recently. Mid summer I was exhausted at work, a landscaper, stressed and tired of all the responsibilities that come with being a business owner. I looked up into the sky and saw myself in the future…It was winter and snowing, like today, I was warm in my blanket relaxing and not thinking about work. I was enjoying my time off and feeling at peace… That was today. It made me realize that I reached my goal and made it through that span of time until now. I told myself that day last summer… “I will be there soon, just get through one day at a time. You can do this!” and here I am. That is a small example. A more serious time was when I looked at my man and realized that so long ago, over 14 years, I had a visualization that we would be together happy and living a wonderful life. I remember imagining laying in his arms at night tracing his tattoos and feeling his protecting arms holding me tight. I am so grateful it came to pass. He is the love of my life, just as I knew he would be.
Its like the power of positive thinking. Project what you want to come to pass, your mind and body will start to make those decisions for you creating a new timeline towards those positive events.
Following your gut instincts, pushing yourself when you know you can succeed, believing in yourself, and trusting in your decisions no matter how hard they may be at the time is crucial. We will only get far in this life if we try the things that scare us…like a new career, moving, taking those leaps of faith into a new healthy path in life, saying no to the unhealthy, loving yourself and believing in yourself. Trusting that there is a way to get out of the situations you don’t like. There is always a way. The real question is…are you strong enough? Yes, yes you are.
What is your visualization? I have never shared these before, and you do not need to share yours. I think its better to keep those goals in your mind and let them bloom. Let the world see you reach those goals and change your life for the better without broadcasting them or getting pre-awarded for efforts you haven’t put forth yet. Take joy that you are badass and are proud of yourself. It should always be enough to be proud of ourselves without needing it from the outside. It makes us more self sustainable, confident and able to succeed without praise from the outside. We should be happy enough with our own self worth and pride in what we do. Love you, love your accomplishments, struggles, failures, successes and strengths. Leave ego at the door and embrace yourself humbly with love and grace.
