A Great Reminder About Visualization
Susan Velez has a great reminder about the power of our thoughts and our ability to shape our world:
Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I was sitting in the Borders parking lot writting in my journal. I wrote down what I expected to happen in the next 6 hours of that same day.
Amazingly everything that I wrote down in my journal took place that same night.
It is amazing that I created my day yesterday, just like I wrote it down on paper. Talk about power.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that our thoughts are having a profound impact on our lives. It tends to be easier to feel guilty about having negative thoughts than to feel really great about using them to manifest what we want. Here’s a wonderful exercise described in the What the Bleep Do We Know movie by Dr. Joe Dispenza:
I wake up in the morning and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down and get to the point of where I’m actually intentionally creating my day. But here’s the thing: When I create my day and out of nowhere little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net in my brain that I accept that that’s possible. (This) gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day.
So if we’re consciously designing our destiny, and if we’re consciously from a spiritual standpoint throwing in with the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life — because reality equals life — then I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. I say, ‘I’m taking this time to create my day and I’m infecting the quantum field. Now if (it) is in fact the observer’s watching me the whole time that I’m doing this and there is a spiritual aspect to myself, then show me a sign today that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won’t expect, so I’m as surprised at my ability to be able to experience these things. And make it so that I have no doubt that it’s come from you,’ and so I live my life, in a sense, all day long thinking about being a genius or thinking about being the glory and the power of God or thinking about being unconditional love.
I’ll use living as a genius, for example. And as I do that during parts of the day, I’ll have thoughts that are so amazing, that cause a chill in my physical body, that have come from nowhere. But then I remember that that thought has an associated energy that’s produced an effect in my physical body. Now that’s a subjective experience, but the truth is is that I don’t think that unless I was creating my day to have unlimited thought, that that thought would come.
A critical step to drawing what we want into our lives is actually seeing and speaking what it is that we want. Our words and our thoughts create the need that must be filled. Try creating your day tomorrow and see what miracles happen for you.

Thank you for addressing such an important point. So often we get sidetracked from what we intend to manifest, with the “monkey chatter” in our heads. Most people do not realize the power of visualizing and let the little stories we create, manifest into real (unwanted) life stories.
We have so much power, we just have to use it.

I agree Wanda. Recently I’ve had to stop myself to say, “Ok that was the old story. What’s the new story?” There are so many things that I’ve become accustomed to telling myself that aren’t manifesting what I want… It’s time for all of us to think of ways to recreate our lives by changing the things we’re telling ourselves–and by spending conscious time internalizing the idea that we have control over what we bring into them.
Thanks for your comment!
