Magical Thinking, and getting what you really want

Living "as if" today... as if I were exhibiting work in an particular exhibition far away.. as if Tasmania's wilderness was safe... as if I have already achieved the life I set out to live...

I've been told that visualization, and living "as if" something you want has already manifested, is a way of focusing more sharply upon your desire, and why you desire that thing in the first place... 

.... and why you haven't got there yet... which is pretty important...

... because I've noticed that sometimes the underlying reason I haven't got what I thought I wanted, was because I preferred something else...

  1. The mind is such a tricksy thing isn't it allowing you to think you want something when actually you really want something else. I am in the awkward transition of finding out that my big dream may have a completely different colour and dimension to the dream I have been chasing for the last few years.

    1. Hey, that's pretty exciting, now you know what it is you're REALLY chasing, you have more chance of catching the right dream! Fantastico! X

  2. I spent a lot of time imagining all the things we'd do if I had a horse again. When I got one, I barely had the energy to look after him, nevertheless do all those marvelous things! I'll stick to my spirit horse from now on. :)

    1. Yes, I agree, horses are a LOT of hard & heavy work! My drum is my horse too... but I still sometimes dream I am riding again... and I miss the smell of them... and the rhythm of caring for them... but I don't miss the back ache... or all that manure to pick up!
