Let your mind wander…

Sometimes people say to me, “Sonia, I get the whole motivational exercise thing. But I think you’re asking too much, to imagine the life of my dreams. It’s just not possible. I don’t know what I want.”

I understand that. If you’ve done the Journey Walk Guided Visualization, or the first section of Mindset Reset, maybe you’ve felt that way yourself. It can be overwhelming to allow to yourself to imagine the life of your dreams.

That’s the key, though – allowing yourself. Just for a few minutes, let your mind wander, explore, run free, chase a rainbow, dream. See where it takes you. Just for a few minutes, shut out those voices that say “That’s too much,” “that’s too big,” “you can’t have that,” “you’ll never do that.” Silence them—stop clinging to them!—and allow something else to come in. There are no wrong answers. You have nothing to lose by imagining.

It is difficult to overcome years’ or decades’ worth of negative, destructive thoughts. But it  possible—by repeating new, positive, constructive, affirming ones. So try out the JourneyWalk (it’s free!), and don’t be discouraged if you find it challenging. Challenges are meant to be faced. Then do it again, even if it’s hard. Do it every day for a week, or two weeks, and see what changes. Does it get easier? Do the voices get quieter? If you really commit to it, they will.

We’re so used to restricting ourselves. It’s like we’ve trained ourselves to think small. Thinking big, thinking freely, thinking expansively—it’s like a muscle. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Exercise it.

Let me know how it goes!
