A Visualisation for Clarity and Confidence

As the energy of this year gains momentum, I'm sharing a simple and powerful visualisation I have been using to keep my mind clear and focus my awareness out of the past, and anchored towards the unknown future of my dreams. 

When we are stressed we are typically fixated on our external environment—the problems, the people and the situations in our external world that we perceive to be less than ideal. Every time I notice myself investing my attention (i.e precious energy) into a story or narrative outside of myself, I picture myself tumbling around in white wash.

When I notice this, I refocus my awareness back inside myself—pouring it into cultivating the emotions I want to feel and putting energy into imagining (in detail) what I want life to look like. We all invest in order to get good returns, so why not invest positively! While I do this, I picture myself not on the shore, but out the back!  

When we’re splashing around at the shore, expending all of our precious energy in surface level stuff, it's inevitable that we are going to get tossed around! Out the back, we are paddling around in deeper waters, enjoying the sunshine and laughing away with friends between sets.

“Out the back we are having a conversation with a far bigger life current.”~ Gwyn Williams

Big thanks to my beautiful friend Gwynnie for offering this metaphor a few months back. I hope it helps you to stay in the deeper reservoir of calm, grounded connection, and focused on your bringing all your dreams to life for the fresh times to come.
