Boot Camp: Week 1 - Awaken your Imagination

GrabaPartner Imagination – using your imagination to clarify your vision.
In order to create your new life, you must first have an idea of what you would like that new life to look like.You can’t get from one place to another until you first identify where you are now and then identify where you want to go. In that identification process a map begins to be created that will get you from one point to another – to get you from your current life to your perfect most fulfilling life.

Whether you are someone who knows and remembers your dreams and desires or not, it’s time to reactivate them by using your imagination. Even if you believe that you never had a life dream or any compelling desires, I can definitely tell you that it is not true. If you are reading this, you are definitely someone who is being called to live a better life. The process to recalling your dreams and desires is easy. Those memories are linked to your imagination and simply by activating your imagination, you are activating those memories. It is that simple - but you have to be willing to play along until things start becoming more tangible. Our imagination has been given a bad rap for a long time and therefore it is often an untapped resource in most people. If your imagination is dormant and you have lost touch with it, now is the time to re-ignite the power of this passive yet profound tool – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

How to unlock your Imagination? This is where it gets really practical.

Day 1 - Dream it! Use the downloadable “Dream Sheet” to record your answers to the following:

If money, time, and conditions were no longer an issue, and you could magically create your most perfect life, what would it be like?

Don’t focus on how much money you think you will need or want - and don’t focus on attaining one thing in order to get another. Instead - focus on the results. For example, the results might be travel, love, awareness, wisdom, beautiful living conditions, wonderful relationships, contribution etc…. Clearly imagine yourself living your new life and adjust for more imagined perfection. Allow your imagination to free flow and explore different possibilities – you can always change your mind and choose again.

Day 2 - Visualize it! The more focus, energy, thought and action you put on your vision, the more probable that vision will likely occur in the real world. But until that vision manifests first in your mind, nothing beyond it can exist. This is why it is imperative that you take the time to create your vision through the use of your imagination. Your imagination turns into your vision the moment you perfect it in your minds eye and can clearly see and energetically experience the outcome of what you truly want.

Vision Boards are a proven method in helping to bring about a brand new life. When you place reminders of your vision in places that you see everyday, your unconscious mind sorts for “leads”.

Find a picture, photo, or object that represents something you want for your NEW life that you described on Day 1!

If you are looking for a partner, maybe a picture of a smiling couple. If you seek adventure, maybe a photo of a mountain climber.... Take 5 minutes surfing the web, or going through a magazine. Find the image and place it in a predominant place where you will see it every day. Feel free to add more pictures to "grow" your dream.

Day 3 - Imagine it! Start to train your mind to think a different way. Explore in your mind what it would be like to live a new and different life. Yes, "super fuel" your imagination by creating a wonderful new story with a perfect beginning, middle and ending!

Spend 5 minutes going on a “Dream Vacation” in your mind. Imagine that you are living your perfect life.

Imagine seeing the things that you will see, feeling the feelings you will feel, hearing the sounds you will hear.

Every time you use your imagination to start creating future possibilities, you are also building a vision for your future. Every creation that has ever come to be on this planet, from the electric dish washer to the rocket ship, first began with a vision. Without a vision, nothing happens. But once a vision is created, life gets to re-organize itself around that vision – ultimately creating that vision in time and space. In other words, creating a better future for you!

Day 4 - Absorb it! Imagine being the person you will be once your dream has been created in real life.What character traits will you need to have, what skills?

Write down what shifts and changes you can make today in order to get in alignment with this person.

Once you can imagine being this person – you have captured the secret to creating your most perfect life. The person who you become as a result of living your dream life is the person you MUST BE in order to create and attract this most perfect life.

Day 5 - Verbalize it! In order to change your life - you must first know what you want. Activating your imagination allows you to tap into your dreams and desires and re-discover what you truly want. Once your vision is clear – you must focus on your vision as if it is already happening and let it be known!

Tell someone, yes - make it known. Speak these words out loud to a friend, family member or even a stranger. "I choose a new life, I choose to live my dream, I choose to change." Even share your dreams and desires with a trusted and supportive friend.

Taking your dream from concept to reality requires action on your part. This week you have seen it, written it down, imagined it... and now you have claimed it!

If you desire, record your progress on your weekly Progress Chart.

Your Boot Camp Sergeant,
Nanice
