Today let’s play with imagination. Pretend you’re five years old, have unlimited resources, and no one to tell you that you can’t do whatever it is you’re thinking of doing.
Power, right? Fun, right? What will you create?
If that question stumped you, you’re not alone. Many people freeze when asked to imagine their lives bigger. Sure, it would be fun to own an island in the Caribbean. That’s a lovely dream. Then the details rear their ugly heads – where will the food come from? Who will build the house and where will all those materials come from? Is there even wifi out there? The lovely dream suddenly becomes a bit scary, feeling more like a chore and less like bliss.
Let’s start again – pretend you’re five years old, have unlimited resources, and no one to tell you no, what will you do. What will you create, where will you go, who will you be?
Using the imagination is powerful – it literally lets you live your dreams inside your head. The trick is to keep the yeah, but’s reined in. “Yeah, but I can’t really do that.” You can – you can do it whenever you want to do it, whatever it is. You can transport your mind, which transports your mood. It’s your brain, and it’s yours to direct. Do you have the answer to “what will you create” yet?
I take a mental trip to the beach nearly every day. I take the dogs with me, stick a mug of coffee in my hand, and venture out the back door of my beachfront home, onto my deck, down the wooden path over the dunes to the beach, kicking off my shoes just before stepping off the path and onto the sand. There are shore birds wheeling around in the sky, sometimes landing to look for tiny creatures in the sand. The frothy surf dances in and out, teasing my toes and delighting the dogs, who splash and play in it. It’s nearly always early morning so not many people have ventured out this early. We walk a couple of miles, enjoying the feeling of the air and the way the color of the water changes along with the color of the sky as the sun rises.
