You and Your Dream

Humans are a complex mix of thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Thoughts impact on emotions and vice versa. Both thoughts and feelings can cause us to do things in a certain way, good or bad. But the reverse is also true - if we act in a certain way, we can start to think in line with the way we are acting. For example, if we walk fast, as if we are on our way to an important and pleasurable event, our thoughts will reflect this attitude.

It is very powerful, then, to use this knowledge to steer ourselves to where we want to be, using our thoughts, feelings and actions to help us achieve our dreams. Regardless of our present situation, we can decide where and maybe more importantly, who we want to be. Our thoughts and feelings can help us imagine our ideal lifestyles and our ideal selves. We need to visualize vividly, which will create and reinforce a strong desire that will spur us on in our day to day tasks, many of which will be mundane.

We owe ourselves the time every day to 'live our dream' in our imaginations, vividly, with colour, sound and emotion, as if what we wanted were already true. Take the time now to see yourself looking like the ideal picture you have of yourself, vibrant, attractive. See yourself doing the things you enjoy doing, both socially and at work, in the company of friends and colleagues who respect you and enjoy spending time with you, doing fun and meaningful activities. Your career is flying and you are getting even better at it every day. Experience the feelings of self-confidence and happiness, fulfilment, joy and laughter that this life is giving you.

While you are on this emotional high, create a physical switch that you can associate with this state of mind. (Condition yourself!) For example, snap your fingers or touch your ear, or .... Practise this often, at least once a day, at the same time as your vizualisation to reinforce your dream, your belief, your desire and your intent.

Keep your dream alive, remember that you are not your past, you are your potential. Be the best you can be!
