Came across two articles related to manifesting.
A topic I frequently write about.
It got me thinking.
Especially the visualization one.
I’m due for a refresh on my visualizations.
Life changes around us so it’s good to reevaluate your goals to ensure things are moving in the right direction.
As I sat down to my lunchtime reading it occurred to me I could share how I handle the between time.
The time between when goals are first visualized to when they manifest.
This particular between time has another angle. I’m still interested in the goals I’ve been visualizing but I’m not putting specific visualizations behind them because of the nuances life’s changes have introduced. These changes mean it’s premature to put visuals – which are powerful tools for manifesting – into practice.
Too many variables are in play.
My lunchtime reading had me realizing I’d unconsciously come up with a solution.
Don’t Visualize.
Yeah, right.
My mind doesn’t race but it does tend to not shut off.
I’ll wake in the night with an idea for a book or a podcast, etc.
While this is cool on the surface it can lead to burnout.
Been there, done that, don’t want the sequel.
I unconsciously chose an activity that soothes my active mind.
Nope, not walking.
I reread my favorite books!
I love reading.
Some of the books are stories I’ve written. Others, novels by my favorite authors.
It’s an enjoyable activity that keeps my mind engaged to the degree I don’t stress over the fact it’s in between and I need to wait out a few things.
Things outside my control.
I consider it letting the soil rest so it will be ready when I plant the next seeds.
A hobby can be a wonderful way to distract the mind from what is outside its control and while in this particular case it’s rereading stories it could be playing a sport, building Legos, doing jigsaw puzzles.
Ideally it should distract and relax.
Be well and Happy Manifesting!
