Have you ever noticed that things are really never as good as we remember them and usually never as bad as we imagine them?
That’s interesting isn’t it?
What do you make of that?
One thing we make of it is that we spend a whole lot of time experiencing the world through our imagination. We stop ourselves from doing certain things because we IMAGINE bad outcomes. We obsess over having particular situations or things because we IMAGINE how great we will feel.
So, if we want to have a good life. A happy life. A successful life. A purposeful life. It follows that we also need to get a grip on our imagination. We need to have an imagination rather than our imagination having us. Of course another option would be to simply live in the moment. And, deal with life as it is, not with our interpretation of it. Easier said than done.
What we help our clients do is to have more autonomy and sovereignty over their imagination. Sometimes, that is as simple as being able to recognize that our thoughts are not facts. Other times it is taking responsibility for the fear we cause in ourselves with imagined outcomes. If you want to better understand how your imagination is limiting your potential in some areas and creating disappointment in others, reach out to us and learn more.
To having an imagination!
