Dear Graduate,

Here’s a powerful little piece of popular neuroscience – your brain learns as well from what you imagine as from what you experience. Think about it. How often is your Dark Side doing your visioning for you? It imagines the terrible possibilities, or tells you that you can’t be, do, or have what you want?

 

Let your Spiritual Self do the visioning and paint the pictures of your life on the Right Road. Remember that “being” begets “doing,” and in your visioning, let your primary focus be on imagining the qualities of being that give you a life you love. Feel those qualities right then and there in your visioning. Embody them as if it is happening now.

·      How do you want to feel in your home, your work, your relationships with yourself and others?

·      And living with that quality of being, what might you be doing?

 

When we are fixed on what we must “do,” or “have,” to “be” happy, happiness could walk right up and wave at us and we wouldn’t even see or recognize it! When our vision includes the qualities of being we wish to cultivate, our body learns to recognize when we are on track, when we are living into our vision.

 

The Dark Side filters out possibility, new awareness, new qualities of being in our perception of our experience, and instead highlights evidence that validates our doubts, keeping us in the small box of our past limitations. “See, I really didn’t change anything at the Process – here’s proof.”

 

When we are living from what we love and care about, or as the mythologist Joseph Campbell said, “following our bliss,” we are letting our Spiritual Self guide us. We are living on purpose. Try it in big and small ways. You can vision one day or five years or simply an upcoming event – think pre-cycling! Then take action to manifest your vision by finding that first right sized step and taking it.

 

Today’s action step: Go to your Process workbook, take out your vision now, and revisit it.
