Start Using The Power of Your Imagination

How would it feel if you were living as a working artist making the money you want and feeling blissed out each day?

It amazes me each time I ask a client this question. I get the deer in headlights response.

So many old crappy beliefs rush into their heads, they can’t even sort them enough to answer at all.

Brain freeze.

There is a well-known phrase I’m going to toss out at you right now.

Get your hopes up!

How did you react to it?

Some of us were taught NOT to get our hopes up regarding something we wanted. It was a safety measure, so if it didn’t come true, we wouldn’t be so hurt. (Wow, is that ever an ego maneuver!)

Here’s the kicker and reason that’s the worst advice (however protective and good intentioned it might be).

We are always transmitting an energy signal to the Universe. That signal is transmitted by how we FEEL about a topic. In turn, the Universe matches that signal and its match shows up in your life via your friends, job, home, experiences and things.

 If you hold back your excitement about what you desire for your life, believing that will keep you safe, those same non-excitement, safety feelings is what the Universe will deliver.

 

It’s like standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and shouting in a shrill voice, “LIFE SUCKS!”

What echo comes back? A hearty, LIFE IS GRAND!

No. You get back what you sent out.

It’s all energy. It all works in the same way.

Not getting your hopes up is very counter-productive to what is innately your source of power.

All of your desires allow the Universe to be everything that it is wanting to be.

Part of its unfolding is realized through what you wish to do and be. The Universe is relying on you to make your desires come true.  And, it is wanting to actively help you make them come true.

You carry within your being an aspect of the Universe that wants to be expressed.

Read that a few times and let it sink into your body. Feeeeeeeeeel it. Pretty cool huh?

Our source of power, our divine birthright, comes from our ability to express the Universe!

Why not send out the excitement, passionate bliss and thrill of your desire? Because in doing that, the Universe will match it.

We are made from what made the Universe. We are made from what made time. We have been given the ability to express what needs to be expressed.

 

Are you ready to fully accept and step into that power?

This is why you have an imagination. This is how you use that power!

 

As a Creative you imagine all kinds of things for your work, right? idea-152213_640

Your ability to imagine things that seem so real, you can feel like you’re right there in it.

Take that same power you use for your work and use it to envision what you want as an artist.

Pretend you’re creating a new character. This character is very talented in whatever medium you work in. This character has been given a HUGE grant to do her work.

So huge, she can set up a studio that is perfect.

So huge, it pays all her bills.

So huge, she can even have some fun with it.

So huge, she can take some classes and learn new techniques within her medium.

Do you see her life? See how it looks and what she is doing?

Now, replace her with YOU.

See yourself THERE.

See YOU with what you want to have/do/be as an artist.

FEEL it, feel the spine tingling, school girl giggling, rush through your body thrill of having it.

Get your hopes UP!

Skip, whistle, sing, smile, giggle….cheer to it with your wine at dinner…visualize it as you fall to sleep. Buy a bouquet of flowers as a Congrats! for it. Make a special dinner in celebration of it.

 

Do this as often as you can, because the Universe doesn’t operate in time as we know it, it just responds to energy.

 

Become one of those people who took hold of this awareness, accepted it, used it and allowed the Universe to expand!

 

I’d say that does indeed call for a celebration!!

Take action:

Pretend that you just got a letter in the mail. It announced that you were the recipient of a HUGE monetary gift. You got this gift because your creative work needs to be shared.

This gift will allow you to work as an artist fulltime.

It will cover your bills, buy your supplies and support your creativity.

But, you must make a list of what you’ll do with the money.

Make that list now.

How will your life change?

How do you spend it?

What will you buy?

How does it make you feel?

Each night before you go to sleep, pick something on the list you wrote out and imagine having it.

Start using the power of your imagination to manifest the lifestyle you desire to have as a Creative!

 

 

3 Ways to Catch Your Dreams

catching butterflies

It’s spring time, which always makes me think about new beginnings and things being born.

That includes new dreams being born.

New dreams that go from being a vague thought or wish to actually happening!

That is what the art of manifesting is all about.

I want to share with you 3 ways to catch your dreams and take them from wishes to reality.

  1. Time 146H

Time can be the #1 killer of a dream. We think we’ll work on making it happen once we have time. Guess what? Seldom does the time ever appear. We end up living with Time Scarcity, struggling just to get the stuff of our daily lives done before we fall into bed at night. Suddenly, years have gone by. Where did that time go?

 How to use Time to make your dream a reality?

Time is a man-made thing we use to navigate our physical world. But, time is an illusion.

The “time” we have each day can change with our perception of the time we have each day.

Time changes with our priorities.

Time changes with our focus.

 What are you giving all of your time focus to that isn’t allowing you to catch your dream and make it a reality?

Even if you have a very long to-do list each day due to your job, kids or other obligations, when you ONLY focus on that, THAT is all that is in your time focus.

 

When you start a new focus, your time will shift into allowing in that new focus.

Try it:  Start focusing on some element of your dream…starting a novel, taking painting classes, finding a writing mentor, etc.

As you’re falling asleep at night,  see yourself doing it. Don’t get caught up in the fact that you don’t have it – just feel the fun, excitement and joy of seeing yourself doing it.

Take note of what happens next in your life, because I guarantee that something will change and show up.

 

  1. Ask and Receive 160H

Have you ever asked the Universe (or whatever label you use to represent the Highest Power you believe in) for something you want, but then when something came along that was part of giving it to you, you blocked it?

It amazes me at how often we all do this.

We politely say NO if someone offers us something because we don’t want to seem needy, or incapable or it was what our Moms taught us to do.

The thing is, the Universe uses others to deliver what we’ve asked for!

When we have a dream…that desire acts like a magnet and it sends stuff our way. The stuff is part of the path we need to get there.

So, we must not block that stuff if we want that dream!

Try it:  Practice receiving

What do you do when someone compliments you?

What do you do when someone offers to do something for you?

Buy you something?

Give you something?

Practice receiving and you’ll start to see MORE showing up!

Think about how you can INCREASE your experiences of receiving your dreams.

 

  1. Embracing Our Mistakes 145H

Why do mistakes and failures get such a bad rap?

The truth is, they are our best allies. They give us such rich material to work from and they help us to always be upping our game.

A failure can lead us in a new direction.

In the act of creativity, mistakes lead to new ideas and can even launch a new work of art for us.

But, too often, folks allow mistakes to STOP their dreams.

They think on that one big mistake as something that defines them as “not good enough.”

It hangs over their head, growing each time they think back on it.

“Not going to make that mistake again!” is a phrase that inhibits creativity!

 

Try this: Write down the dream you’ve been wanting and then write a whole list of the mistakes you could look forward to making in it!

That will shift your perspective to one that is empowering and allow your dream to START, not stop!
