Resolutions for the new year are an accepted tradition that jumpstarts positive change in our personal lives. Another technique can be used to increase your personal power easily. It is your ability to visualize positive change by enlisting your imagination.
Here is an example that requires you to be open and receptive to new levels of inner clarity.
I want you to imagine yourself standing in front of a small theatre. As you tilt your head up, you notice the Marquee has your name spelled out in bold letters, framed in bright white lights.
You feel your stomach clutch as a flurry of emotions runs through you. These sensations are both pleasant and disturbing but know that you are strong enough to allow all of your feelings permission to be there. Breathe until the main sensation you settle on is a level of curiosity about how this could be happening.
You open the door to the theatre and led to a dressing room with your name and a gold star on the door. You are greeted by an assistant to help prepare you to look your best before you go on stage.
You hear a countdown coming, and you realize that you are expected on stage when the count is completed. Twelve, eleven, ten, nine, and you begin to move toward the door. Eight, seven, six, five, four, and you are moving to the side of the stage. Three, two, one.
You walk out and sit in the chair placed directly in the front and center of the stage. You face the audience. There is a faint light shining over the audience, and it is enough for you to see the smiling faces of family, friends and business acquaintances. As you gaze out, you also notice childhood friends and people who have left you through death. Still, you can see they are very much alive and are vibrantly smiling, delighted to be a part of this special event. There are also people you have had past difficulties with or have distanced from. They are also happily participating in this happening with no trace of any negative or hurt feelings.
There is only love and appreciation flowing to you from the entire audience. Today you are being gifted with the rare opportunity to see and know, without a doubt, that you are ready to take ownership of all your life experiences. This includes those you judged as beneficial and those held as mistakes.
The way to own every aspect of your past is by acknowledging the wisdom you have amassed through hardships and also help provided by all the people you have met along your path.
You feel both humbled and overwhelmed by this experience. The purpose of this sacred event is to call back to you any parts of your core solidity that you have lost through the process of living.
You are receiving soul food that is nurturing and expanding your capacity to thrive. Your small and sometimes petty, moody and immature personality is finally allowed to give up control and take guidance and direction from a higher reality.
You are now asked to stand and accept a large bouquet of vibrant flowers and an ornate gold key with a small rectangle plate attached that is embossed with this message:
From this moment on, you are well-loved, well-cared for, well-guided, and well-protected.
Your audience stands and cheers, and the red velvet stage curtains begin to close.
Take a moment to pull your attention back to yourself as you take in this whole experience. Given all this, what is the right action for you at this time?
