Visualization and Self Talk

All day long we are carrying mental conversations in our heads. Furthermore, we create these little movies that play. Thoughts come mainly in these two forms: speech and visualization. Unfortunately, most people, almost automatically, picture things they fear. Also, most people say things to themselves that, if someone else said to them, they would not believe someone would try to offend them in such a way. Most of us are not taught at an early enough age to program out brains in beneficial ways. The more we say uplifting things to ourselves the more habitual it becomes. As adults, once we reach a certain point we realize their is something wrong with our thought processes and try to fix it, so we are always trying to reprogram our brains. Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” There is a dance between imagination and emotion that cause a metaphysical energy to flow. Imagination is not just ideas, but it can come in the form of creative things to say to yourself. For example, “I have confidence in myself and others.” Anything you do not normally say in your head takes a little imagination to come up with something new. “I find work fun and pleasurable.” That is an affirmation most of humanity could use a little reciting. A lot of philosophers advocate affirmations, as do I, but, if you really want to create something in your life, the real power lies in visualization. Visualization can also be more difficult because the mind can reject things it doesn’t believe but the main key of either of these techniques is to focus on things that you want. Even little things, like waking up joyful, vibrant, and rested. Picture eating a delicious breakfast that you love. Picture traffic on the way to work being smooth and you get to work perfectly on time feeling eager to do the job. Create this habit of picturing things how you would like them to be. It is the most important thing you could ever do because it will make your mind strong, focused, and full of positive thoughts that will leave you submerged in joy and positive emotions. And because it becomes habit, it becomes easy. This will literally transform your life completely. The more you expand your imagination and belief systems the more magical your life will be, and the more confidence you will have in manifestation the more it will show up. Note that this should not about attempting to force life to manifest what you imagine. When you practice visualization you can begin to try to think things into existence. Sometimes things of this size will not manifest for a couple days. Forcing things does not work. Letting things flow is the way to make things work; You have to make things FUN. Playfulness is a high vibrational feeling. It is not our job to control the outside world or the people around us. I am the only one that I need to control; You are the only one that you need to control. Our body, minds, emotions, and energies should work for us. If we let outside situations determine what happens to us inside, then we are only slaves. The world is full of negative things that are simply just distractions. The news for example is full of things that we do not want in this world. Death, violence, political slander, and all sorts of negative things that happen. This is putting focus on the things we do not want in this world. We should direct our attention on the things we want and appreciate because they become greater. For example there are hundreds of organizations all over the world providing people with food, clothes, planting trees, advocating for animals, and providing necessities to life everywhere. People clean the air, clean the water, clean neighborhoods, save people and animals, and help each other in miraculous ways! If only they would put this stuff on the news front and center. I feel putting positive news is needed to create a world that is beneficial to everyone. A whole world focused on positive things we want! News like this will motivate fellow humans to pick up and do what these people are doing as well. Just think about what you want. Get creative. Have fun. Day dream. Visualize what you think the perfect world would be like, not just for yourself but for everyone. If you see something you do not want to be that way, think about how you do want it. Then ask, “Why do I want it this way?” Then explore from there.
