You are more powerful than you realize. You are a creator! Whether you create consciously or do so by default, you are still co-creating with the Divine! The life you are living is a direct result of your creative thoughts and feelings.

 

Now, imagine what you could create if you chose to do so more consciously. What would your life look like? Can you imagine it? Do you imagine it? Your imagination is the key to creation and most of us are not utilizing this tool as fully as we could.

 

It’s possible to expand your creative capacity. Trust me! I never really thought of myself as a creative person but have found I am more creative than I realize and I am certain the same is true for you. You just need to be willing to practice and stretch yourself. Being able to access your imagination and then use it to find creative solutions will make life easier, more enjoyable, and bring you greater fulfillment.

 

Enhance your ability to access your imagination with these strategies:

 

  1. Practice without distractions. Turn off the TV and dim the lights. Have a seat and close your eyes. Allow your mind to wander, but don’t fall asleep. Instead of trying to steer your thoughts, let them run wild. Practice being an observer instead of a director. Do this daily for 15-20 minutes.

    • Use all of your senses. You can do more than just see. You have the ability to hear, feel, smell, and touch. Use all of these senses when you’re utilizing your imagination.

    • Your imagination will feel stronger if you use it daily. Try not to skip a day.

  2. Read something outrageous (for you). Try reading a fictional book about aliens, fire-breathing dragons, or time travel. Expose yourself to new ideas and concepts. The more you experience, the more your imagination will have to work.

    • The same goes for movies. Branch out. You can only watch so many action movies or romantic comedies!

  3. Take up a creative hobby. Learn to paint, sculpture, or play the accordion. Try writing a screenplay or drawing a monster. Use the creative part of your brain.

  4. Explore your passions. Do something you’ve always wanted to try, but haven’t yet. New mental states can increase your level of creativity.

 

  1. DANCE! Yes, dance! If you're local to me, come to one of my Groove classes as we practice creative ways to move your body. If you're not local to me, I am certain there is a Groove Facilitator offering classes in your neck of the woods so go and check it out! If not, reach out to me and we'll get a Zoom class going for you!

 

Use your imagination to find creative solutions:

 

  1. Set an intention. Think of an intention as a short-term goal for an activity. What are you trying to accomplish with your imagination? Find a solution for your relationship challenge? Figure out a way to earn more money? Invent a gadget that will change the world?

    • It’s important to have an objective for your imagination to focus on.

  2. Choose a method of addressing your imagination:

    • You can turn off the lights and focus on your intention.

    • You could sleep on it.

    • You could sit at a clean table with a pad of paper and write whatever comes to mind. Keep going for at least 30 minutes.

    • You could ask yourself questions and listen for the answers.

    • Take part in an activity that engages your mind, but not completely. This can include activities like cleaning the house, dancing, taking a shower, mowing the lawn, or listening to classical music. These activities occupy part of your mind, but leave the remainder to receive creative inspiration.

 

  1. Act on what you discover. Creative solutions are worthless unless you act upon them. Reward yourself for being creative by putting your ideas into action. Sort your ideas and choose the best one. Try and see if your imagination was correct! You’ll get better with practice.

 

Our ability to use our imagination is one of the things that separates us from other forms of life. Using our imagination to consciously create what we desire to experience or to arrive at creative solutions to challenges allows us to take back our power. Remember, the Law of Attraction is always working in your life whether you believe in it or not.
