Mind and Envisioning

If you tried to do some of the envisioning exercises and were not successful, this post should be some help for you. Many persons have trouble envisioning. It is a great mental tool often used by Olympic athletes and very successful persons to fulfill goals or gain understanding about a situation. The power of the mind opens many doors, the power of the mind is a gift from God to us. 
Even in daily life we often envision, unnoticed by our conscious mind, certain events. You might have a dog who greets you each time you come home. The moment you think of  it, you also will have a picture of your dog in your mind. However, not all of us are able to do this from the git go.
That's why I give you some exercises to make envisioning for you easier. 

Exercises to help you:

1. Look at an item (fruit, pencil, cup, candle.....etc. Etc.) about 30 seconds, then close your eyes and try to see that item in your mind's eye.

2. Do the same exercise as number one, but now modify consciously with your mind what you see. For example, if you envision a strawberry, add another strawberry or a flat of strawberries or see yourself eating the strawberry.

3. Play with colors: Envision an apple. Apples come in many colors....color them consciously in green, yellow, red or a mix.

4. Think of something you do everyday, such as: brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, getting into the car, going for a walk with your dog, etc. Envision yourself doing one of those things in your mind. (Practice makes perfect... play!)

    5.   If you have trouble finding meaningful work, envision yourself 
          in the work environment you want to be in.
          See yourself doing the work. Do that frequently.

          We draw to ourselves the things we focus on.
