Imagine that Change!

Imagine you have a long vacation coming up, and you are trying to decide between a tropical beach and a ski resort. How do you choose? Perhaps you imagine yourself at the beach, walking on the white sand, feeling the sea breeze in your hair, and swimming in blue waters under clear skies. Or do you imagine the rush of adrenaline as you ski down the slopes, as well as the pleasure of having a cup of hot chocolate wrapped in a warm blanket in front of a crackling fire in a log cabin? In short, you will visualize before you decide.

When it comes to making changes in your daily life, you may argue that it is not so easy. However, it is just as simple. Actions originate as thoughts. A single thought can lead to an intention, and this is then followed by implementation. The human mind is powerful in that “it is closely identical to the root-force that began the process of creation.”1 Tapping into this power can help you transform yourself, one habit at a time.

Making changes means changing existing habits and establishing a new order. How can you do this? How can the power of the mind help?

Do you rush into bringing about change with a “to do” list?

Do you run out of motivation so that before you know it you are back to square one?

This year, why not add one more step to the process?
