“Three Key Words For A Better Than Before Mid-Life”
Concentration-Relaxation-Imagination
“Part Three- Imagination”
Before moving onto Imagination I recommend a quick review on Concentration and Relaxation. Now that you have reviewed let’s imagine!
I’d like to begin by saying I have always been a person of great imagination. When using it daily I imagine the best world I could ever live in and have fun in this visualizing process. So here is my personal story on how I’ve used the Power of Imagination to get to where I wanted to go!
Since I was a little girl I always dreamed about becoming a Dancer. In all the home movies there I was dancing around the Christmas Tree, opening the door for a family member and greeting them with a dance, etc. In high school I was one of the 4 Head Majorettes teaching the 40 Majorettes. All of this set me up for movement and performing in the early years of my life. Life moved quickly after that. I graduated from college as a science major, married the same year, then worked in the Biochemical Lab in a Hospital, and blessed with 2 children (a boy and a girl). What more could I ask for? Well, the Dream still in my head!
When I was 25, the kids were in nursery school and I decided to take some ballet, modern and jazz classes at my local Y in Westchester County, N.Y., which hired the best dance teachers from New York City. I also bought a big picture of a beautiful Ballet Dancer and the lines below the picture were: “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it-if you can dream it, you can become it”….William Arthur Ward. I really believed those lines and still do. I woke up each morning facing this picture, and went to sleep with it facing me saying the words, believing them, and visualizing the details.
For Example:
- I saw myself doing those pirouettes, jazz moves, and leaps in the air!
- I saw myself getting better and better and the teachers noticing my progress.
- I took a stand and gleamed with self confidence.
- I gave thanks each and every day and looked forward to the next day with a growing passion of what I wanted to do and who I was becoming.
Finally at age 32 I accomplished becoming a professional classical dancer! Yes, I was a late bloomer. Yes, there was a lot of effort and work involved, yet I truly know through that picture and words my life completely changed and through this experience is how I know and used the Power of Imagination! I’m really happy to share this with you.
So what Dream or Goal would you like to get to in Mid-Life? Is it a dream book, piece of mind, running the marathon, getting out of the box? Whatever it is you can do it if you truly want to! Using your imagination gives you a powerful tool in your toolbox!
There are several books I recommend on the Power of Imagination and here they are:
Think and Grow Rich-Napoleon Hill (Chapter 6 Imagination)
Creative Visualization-Shakti Gawain (a must on your bookshelf)
Prospering Woman-Ruth Ross (chapter16 Picture your Prosperity)
The Secret-Rhonda Byrne (Powerful Processes-page 71)
