Wrap Your Mind Around This! By Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, Ph.D., President of the International Hypnosis Federation
Your imagination creates what you focus upon: great relationships, success, abundance, a new car, radiant health, playing at the top of your game, or winning an Oscar. Your imagination determines actions you take or don’t take.
Your imagination makes up and embellishes each story you tell yourself and your body responds accordingly. Frightened people live in tense bodies. Angry people live in angry bodies. Happy people live in relaxed, vital bodies. Your neurons energize what you focus upon.
IMAGINE HAPPINESS!
The core of happiness IS what YOU think. It is fun to fire-up your imagination for joy and pleasure, and a thought of happiness creates your best possible reality. Einstein said it well; “Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
DO THIS! Imagine being 100% happy NOW! Go ahead… live it up… Take a stroll down Happy Lane here and now. Imagine being successful in love, money, harmony and joy.
AFFIRM: “I imagine and entertain uplifting, pro-active thoughts, feelings, attitudes and sensations and I feel good!
IMAGINE SUCCESS!
As a young actor, Jim Carrey wrote himself a $10 million check dated into the future that he carried in his wallet and looked at daily. Finally, he was offered $10 million for his role in “Dumb and Dumber.” Perhaps his imagination and focus put the law of attraction into action.
A hypnosis student put it this way: “My imagination brought me to realize my dreams. I earned a black belt in Karate and became a master instructor and owned a Karate school… Now, I help others imagine and realize their dreams. Action consistently follows imaginative thought.” I tell students; “Your imagination spurs desire as ‘light my fire’ sings the choir.”
DO THIS! Request your creative imagination to “expand awareness to wonderful possibilities…” Good. Now, call in all your senses and feel, see, hear, smell, taste and intuit exactly what you want to happen in detail. Imagine the steps you will take to make it so and the good feelings you have from achieving what you conceived. The very thought of achieving what you request is now mixed up with all the happy memories of your life. Your imagination has wrapped itself around your dream and it is so!
