Imagine Believe Become: 3 Steps to Unleash Your Potential and Create the Life You Desire

Use the power of your imagination to visualize vividly what you would like to be successful in. Allow your imagination to become a complement to your habitual action and hard work. Just Like Michael Phelps, when you visualize, there should be no doubt at all in the outcome towards success and excellence. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.

Imagination originates in the thinking brain, also called the new brain or the neocortex. But as your thoughts and imagined outcomes get infused with the power of your emotions and vivid images, they have a chance to filter into your limbic brain or the sub-conscious. The limbic brain can process a lot more information when compared to the conscious brain and is also responsible for all our habits and emotions.

As your imagination becomes visceral, your naturally intelligent sub-conscious pushes for physical and mental changes that align you in the direction of the fulfillment of that desire. This does not mean that things will just automatically happen but what it means is that you are getting the rider and the elephant on board and will experience less resistance and excuses to take inspired action.

The rider and the elephant metaphor of Jonathan Haidt, the author of the book, The Happiness Hypothesis gives us a good understanding of how the system works. The rider is the conscious, thinking and imagining brain and the elephant is the sub-conscious automatic and unconscious limbic brain. The rider cannot train or control the elephant by force alone. However, silencing the mind through meditation and entering into a deep state of relaxation makes the sub-conscious more amenable to autosuggestion or proclaiming something is true for you and feels natural to you.

As the new belief takes hold and becomes a visceral feeling in your sub-conscious, you will be inspired to act and behave in new ways to fulfill that end. Use your imagination to craft the life of your choosing and then get very excited and use the power of emotions to embed it deep within your unconscious brain.

Then she imagined that her feet were never going to get cold again and she could fit into all the shoes in the store. Her thoughts and her imagination were revealing a glimmer of hope to her. And I began to daydream. I daydreamed as I did when I was a little girl and I imagined myself walking gracefully, helping other people through my journey and snowboarding again.

I could feel the wind against my face and the beat of my racing heart as if it were happening in that very moment.

And that is when a new chapter in my life began. Amazingly four months later she was back on a snowboard! She had decided to make a pair of legs herself that she could snowboard in and along with her shoemaker put together artificial legs that would work for her. The shoes along with a donated kidney from her father allowed Amy to not only snowboard but also receive two world cup gold medals making her the highest ranked adaptive female snowboarder in the world.

Visualize and imagine in vivid colors, with an exciting emotional spark and by engaging all the senses that you can summon. Deep within you is the realm of the little child where imagination runs rife and anything is possible. It is an area where endless curiosity is encouraged and mistakes are laughed away.

It is the realm of your inner child. And most of us were highly imaginative, enthusiastic and had an element of magical thinking when we were children. However, you may have buried that self deep within you fearing the ridicule of the world, fearing it is not safe to unleash that imaginative side of you. It is that very inner child that I want you to access. I want you to lose the fear of imagining solutions to impossible things. In your imagination, anything is possible. If you engage and take action on that great idea that originated deep in your imagination, who knows where it might take you.

I have outlined 8 possible steps: Instead of stress and struggle, unleash your imagination and let it come up with the possibilities that you have never dreamed of. But you have to believe that what you want is possible. As you commit to believing in yourself, also make a commitment to toning down the complaint department. Look at what you are complaining about:. Really examine your complaints. More than likely you can do something about them.

They are not about other people, other things, or other events. They are about YOU. If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have what it takes; the abilities, inner resources, talents and skills to create your desired results.

Have unwavering faith in yourself, for good and bad. Make the decision to believe that you create all your experiences. You will experience successes thanks to you, and you will experience pain, struggle, and strife thanks to you. Sounds a little strange, but accepting this level of responsibility is uniquely empowering.

It means you can do, change, and be anything. Stumbling blocks become just that—little hills to hop over. This one is straightforward: Imagine how much easier it would be to succeed in life if you were constantly expecting the world to support you and bring you opportunity. Successful people do just that. Experts on the science of success know the brain is a goal-seeking organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will work day and night to achieve. To engage you subconscious mind, a goal has to be measurable. At least it comes with a few actions to achieve.

A first step simply can be making an immediate change in a single area in your life. Are you unhappy about something that is happening right now? Make requests that will make it more desirable to you, or take the steps to change it yourself. Making a change might be uncomfortable and overwhelming for you. It might mean you have to put in more time, money, and effort. It might mean that someone gets upset about it, or makes you feel bad about your decision. It might be difficult to change or leave a situation, but staying put is your choice so why continue to complain?

You can either do something about it or not. It is your choice and you have responsibility for your choices. Use daily affirmations to focus on your goals and reprogram your subconscious mind. Bear in mind that you have to be willing to change your behavior if you want a different outcome. You have to be willing to take the risks necessary to get what you want.
