Can you Imagine!

It's a new year, with 300+ days of pure potential & opportunity ahead of us.

What are you looking for in 2019?

Whatever your agenda, it's possible that boosting your imagination might be your golden ticket.

Why?

Because imagination is at the very foundation of your creativity, it is the enemy of your boredom and it is what flexes that all important mental muscle known as your brain.

Pretty important, right? Well, here's the rub. All that potential overwhelm and residual tension from 2018 is only getting in your way. Your job is to get a grip on any negative emotions or thoughts about the past and resolve them before they continue to deplete your imagination.

How do you do that? It's not necessarily easy, but it IS do-able. And here are 3 thoughts to get you started:

1. Start Free Writing. (Also called Morning Pages) I write about it on page __ in the latest issue of Coffee with Moe and it's your direct access at starting the process of working through and moving through your past to where you want to be now and can provide you with a road map to your future.

2. Collect your head. Sure you can start with Free writing, but what do you do with all the ideas you're generating. You don't want them sitting abandoned in a book. There are a few solutions for the collection of your minds gems. Look up mind mapping or create a visual board (also called a vision board) that represents your ideas and thoughts.

3. Check your mind-set. Are you stuck in your ways and pretty stubborn? While there are some beautiful benefits of these attributes (Drive, follow through etc.) the dark side of these attributes can keep you stuck in patterns you might be better off ditching.  Wish to understand more about what your mindset might be?  There's an excellent book by Dr Carol Dweck called Mindset, oddly enough. I recommend it to everyone, if only for a better understanding of yourself, some clarity on the actions of others and how you might get evn better at being you.

With these ideas in your back pocket, you'll be sure to have the tools required to make 2019 your best year ever. Enjoy the journey towards imagining and executing on the life of your dreams.

Happy 2019.
