Visualization

Images pass through our minds constantly. Our dreams are filled with fleeting pictures. The difficulty comes when we try to hold onto an image and the details of it. I have used visualization exercises for as long as I can remember and it's still pretty difficult for me. It takes practice and a strong sense of calm for me. But I find that it helps when I'm feeling pretty stressed out and just need a small escape. For some people this is daydreaming. Visualization is just step further. It is the step of making the imagery into reality. Not everything I picture actually happens but it helps in trying to help me figure out what it is truly want out of life. It changes constantly and may be why some things haven't turned into reality. It isn't consistant.

Some people have a clear picture of something and pursue it until it happens. Mine drifts from one picture to the other depending on mood, day, and current situation. Studies are showing there is a definite connection with mind, body, and reality. Your present reality is your own making. By always keeping that in the back of my mind, I try to guard my thoughts from harmful fears and picture only positive outcomes. Remember fear only stunts and holds you back.
