There is a power in creating a mental picture. It allows you to visualize yourself in an alternate reality. By doing this, you introduce yourself to a new way of thinking. You become capable of creating a space for yourself within this world that hasn’t yet been, with ideas that haven’t yet been accomplished. Without you realizing, you are empowering your inner-self to become something imagined. Taking the time to envision a life that you truly want is a treasure that comes freely to all. It is a powerful force that impels you to change.

One thing that I would encourage for anyone to do is to envision how they would want to spend their next 20 plus years. In doing this, see if you could go deep within your soul and bring out those desires that you may have had hidden or those dreams that weren’t fulfilled. Don’t let it be surface level descriptions, but more in-depth. Visualize the place, the people, the scents you want all around you. Remember, these are mental pictures, so paint the pictures vividly and with lots color. Where would you like to be? What would you like to be doing? Who would you like next to you for companionship and love?

Remember, envisioning doesn’t require boundaries or limitations. Don’t begin to set parameters on your mental pictures, allow them to flow freely and be opened to wherever they lead you. Jot them down in your journal, speak them out loud, and let them settle into your inner-being. Redefine your journey!
