If You Can See It, It’s Yours
by: Sue Urda
It’s true we think in pictures. Our minds create an image when we think about something specific. Try this... Think of a baby. Think of a bridge. Think of what you ate for lunch. What did you see? Most likely, all of these “thoughts” came to you as “images”. You could actually picture a specific baby, a certain bridge and a nice healthy salad (or perhaps a tuna melt and some chips!). And, not only did you get a picture in your mind, you most likely also experienced other “sensory” emotions with it. You smelled the freshness of the baby, heard the crash of water against the bridge and tasted the delicious salad and chips!
Why do we think in pictures? First - because our minds are programmed this way. Our brain works with all of our senses, puts them together and creates a complete thought. It rounds out the sensory experience for us. We can actually “feel” these images in our bodies; they resonate in our being. Often, they resonate so strongly and feel so real that we are compelled to take some sort of action. If the “picture” is positive, loving and empowering, we do what we can to keep it, enjoy it, and get more of it. If the “picture” is negative, ugly and draining, we do what we can to change the situation.
So, taking this one step further...if our mind creates images, and the images direct our thoughts and actions – what would happen if we DECIDE to create specific, positive, beautiful, empowering images in our minds? What if we could “picture” and create the relationships we desire? What if we could “picture” and create the job and salary we desire. What if we could “picture” and create perfect health, a beautiful home, and an effortless, ideal life for ourselves - in every area we desire.
Wouldn’t life be grand?
