For some of us, we are able to leave very little to the imagination. For others, our imagination seems to be missing in action from our minds. Imagination, however, can be a very powerful tool in our lives both professionally and personally. Join me as we explore the power of imagination and how to kickstart yours today!
Albert Einstein was once thought to have said, “Imagination will take you everywhere… It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” While logic will keep you in the here and now or guide you based on your past experiences, imagination will take you to new heights.
The Power of Imagination and How to Kickstart Yours
Some individuals believe in the power of creative visualization. Creative visualization uses imagery in the mind in order to deliver results in your present and in your future. There are a few pointers you need to know about creative visualization before you try it out first.
- You need to be in a comfortable position. When you are preparing to take on creative visualization, you need to feel comfortable and relaxed.
- Tap into your senses. Feel free to imagine hearing the sounds of the waves in the background. Listen for the swish of air as you ride the hot air balloon for the first time. Feel the feeling in your stomach as you take your first flying lesson. Taste the way that your congratulations cake tastes at the opening of your new restaurant. Smell the scent of the ocean as it drifts by you. Use all of your senses to tap into your imagination. Before you know it, you will be in Italy tasting that wine or smiling away as you sign your new bestselling book.
- Chill out. You need to be in a relaxed state both in body and mind. You need to start out with your body before you can attempt to relax your mind.
- Creative visualization has been known to manifest quite lovely things for some individuals. You never know, your imagination could be your best friend too.Shifting your mind is one of the first steps to creating more focus in your business.

The Power to Choose
When you come to realize that you have the power to choose what thoughts you wish to think and what thoughts you wish to focus on, that is really something powerful. When you use your imagination to your benefit or the benefit of others, your life becomes vibrant and alive.
You can choose negative imaginary images or you can choose positive imaginary images. The choice is really yours. Whatever you focus on will come to life.
