Visualization And Imagination
"Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." --Wayne Dyer
“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.” --Wayne Dyer
During a recent conversation with one of my coaching club members I was reminded of a great technique which I’ve used with positive results quite often. It’s an elegant exercise in manufacturing positivity. The outcome can be in general or very specific, focusing on business, health, wellness, finances, anything.
I understand I have some very pragmatic readers here. . .I, myself, am as pragmatic as they come. So this exercise might seem silly at first blush. This state of silliness is fine with me, especially if the outcome means more money, more clients, more happiness. . . Suspend your cynicism and allow the potential power of this to work for you.
One technique I love to use is that I imagine a cloud and I fill the cloud full of positive thoughts. Say, for example, I’m working on a business deal and my goal is (as always) to have the most beneficial outcome for all involved.
My cloud will cover the area of the situation. In this case, let’s just say it’s an office. And the cloud holds anything and everything. It can contain watchtowers on all four corners which can be armed with missiles and automatic weapons. These weapons go around zapping out my competition or negative thinking (my own and my prospect’s) or problems that might arise in the course of business.
Sometimes I envision the cloud over my prospect’s head parts and allows the sun to shine down, the sun’s rays representing a golden opportunity to work together. I put genies up in there, imagining them swooping down bringing gold bars to show the richness available from our work together.
This works particularly well for me because I know for a fact that many of my clients experience incredible increases in productivity and income as a result of working with me so I love the image of the genie bringing gold bars, showing what’s possible as a result of us working together.
My cloud can also pour down rain on the prospect, the rain being a gentle pressure and persuasion on your prospect to agree.
Your cloud can rain little notes down, notes that fall to your prospect which say, ‘Accept my deal now. Let’s move forward, now.’
There is no limit to the possibilities your cloud can accomplish. Whether you know it or not, you are a creative being and you are capable of manifesting what you want through your thoughts. We can conjure up all sorts of realities in our personal, business and public universes with a simple thought.
We can be miserable, or we can be motivated. We can create the optimum internal environments within ourselves, fertile with our imaginings and thoughts, which will yield amazing results. And all this happens because we make a choice. Incredible.
