Imagination is the key to changing your future. How good are you at imagining yourself having a better life, love, business and career? Here are some tips to get you started.

What’s your potential?

When I’m coaching, one of my favourite parts of the job is seeing the potential of a client. If they see themselves as small or “just starting out” I see them with their dreams fulfilled, living a much bigger picture than they envisage. If they’ve been massively successful in business or career already, I see them moving other areas of life they have neglected to being beautifully developed and blossoming, thus giving them a more balanced and content life.

When you, or someone else, opens this potential up metaphysically in imagination (4D), the new ideas are given the opportunity to form in the physical world (3D). Thoughts become reality.

Kind of like when someone “believes” in you, they metaphysically support you to fulfil your dreams so you’ll find it’s a whole lot easier to fulfil.

They see it as being achievable. Often it’s you who sees it as a challenge and slows down the process. 🙂

You don’t need a coach or loved one to see your potential, though. You can do it yourself! And providing you get out of your own way, remove the belief that it’s “difficult” or will “take years to achieve”, it can flow to you faster than you expect.

Too often I hear the excuse “I tried before and it didn’t work out so I’m not going down that path again.” Too often, too often. Blah blah blah. Don’t say that to me any more.

What if you had the belief “The world is a very different place today. The rules have changed. This feels like the most natural and fun thing for me to do right now. I know it will bring me contentment to do it and it will make the world a better place.“, how is that going to change your attitude to having another go?

Easy, right?

Being in the flow of what makes you most light and happy is going to bring you ideas, opportunities, people and events that will steer you towards the right direction you need to be heading. Then, once you’re completely on target with your direction, you’ll be flying there so fast it will take your breath away.

Finding your Potential Step by Step

Step 1) What was yesterday’s story?

Take an area of life you think could be better than what it already is.

We are not here to settle for “it’s ok, it will do”.  We can definitely do better than that. We want this area of life to be so good you’re going to love every minute you are alive, grateful that you got to be here and experience it.

Write down a brief description of your life in this area yesterday. Don’t beat yourself up. No regrets. Just state what it is. What emotions do you attach to living that part of life in the old way?

Step 2) What is today’s story?

Now take a fresh piece of paper and re-write the story. Mercredan has made some great suggestions using this analogy of the Writer lately. Pretend you are the Writer of many lives. See all the little characters playing out their roles on the stage of planet Earth and focussing on this little one which has your name and face.

This character is complaining they don’t like what is going on in this area of life. Some of it you wrote for them. Some of it they created for themselves. Never mind. Let’s re-write it.

• What are the new details?
• What changes in the character’s personality need to happen to fit into this new scenario?
• What does this character FEEL like inside once they are living the new scenario on a day to day basis? (Write like you’re the Film Director giving instructions to the Actor on how to play the role)
• With these new characteristics, how do the other characters that live and work with this one now behave?
• What else might happen now this character has taken on these characteristics? Embellish the story. Make it bigger than before. If you find yourself getting a bit scared for your character that it’s getting too big, then pull it back a bit and be satisfied you’ve found the new step to development. You can always embellish it later on when you are ready.

Step 3) Trust it is done

Now it’s all up to you. You’re out of the Writer’s chair and back into the body of the little character on the Earth’s stage. Are you going to take the Writer’s direction? Will you trust the Writer knows what is best for you? or are you going to morph back into yesterday’s story because you are familiar with it?

This is always the interesting bit. Not good nor bad, just interesting.

It is possible to make a completely trusting mind shift into the new role and move your life, love and career in an instant. It’s called a pivot point where you change direction and start living along a new time line. If you’ve ever experienced this, you find no one around you is even surprised. They just work with the new you as if you were that before. It’s a fascinating thing to see.

It’s also possible to take a few goes at making the change. If you find yourself falling back into the old story of yesterday, forgive yourself. You may have been playing that role for years, even for your whole life, so it might take some extra encouragement from your Writer to ween you off the old formula. Just keep turning in the right direction. Write the story again. See yourself in the role and if it’s feeling like a challenge, get help from a supported friend or Coach if you need the extra nudge.

Sometimes all you need is a single coaching session like one of these Decision Making sessions.

Sarah Varcas on Finding The New You

Below is an astounding piece of writing from Sarah Varcas I found detailing the cosmic changes that match where we are astrologically. I don’t follow the stars myself but many who do are talking about this coming few days being a powerful combination of:

• the third and biggest Supermoon (full moon) of the year,
• Equinox – summer or winter, depending on where you are on the planet,
• and a total eclipse of the Sun.

When you read the article, don’t be afraid or wracked with anxiety about leaving things incomplete. As we learn to focus each moment of the day in the present moment (no memories, no judgement) we can wipe the slate clean and start afresh on our view of this ever-changing world and re-inventing ourselves to match what is possible.

Solar Eclipse in Pisces

Synchronising Hearts

This total solar eclipse occurs at 9:47 a.m. GMT on 20th March in the final degree of the zodiac. (In Sydney Australia this is 8:47pm 20th March AEST and we don’t have a lot of sun at that time unfortunately.)

An eclipse here speaks of completion on a grand scale. Things within reach that we failed to grasp disappear; opportunities postponed for a ‘better time’ dissolve; riches hoarded lose their worth. This degree of the zodiac brings to a close great cycles of time and change, major life themes and patterns. An eclipse here reminds us the cosmos has its own timetable, weaving its design through our lives with or without our consent. We are faced with the choice to synchronise our timepiece of the heart with that of the heavens or occupy our own time zone – sometimes in synch, sometimes way out of it, struggling to impose our own schedule upon the unfolding of sacred creation. The endings we face now, be they losses, disappointments or liberating closure, remind us of the need for deep and abiding alignment with the god-force from here on in, as it threads its way through our lives.

The cycles now ending offered certain challenges, opportunities and emergent wisdom. They required choices, the distant outcomes of which we now face. Those made in alignment with the evolutionary imperative of awakening reveal powerful new beginnings on the near horizon, crystallising as we speak. Past courage will reap rewards of freedom and deep peace. Decisions made out of fear, from a defensive heart, reveal now the fading of a future self even as we gaze upon it: opportunities lost, the time for action passed. We may feel burdened with shame or regret, sadness or grief. But no matter the pain this moment may hold, there is comfort and hope at hand.

This eclipse connects us with 1997, bringing to a close cycles begun then. Whatever life asked of us at that point, the cosmos now echoes back to us the answer we gave. As we approached the dawn of the new millennium many were speaking of disaster, others of liberation. Life was taking on a sense of urgency and the energies which have tested our mettle to the max in recent years were tentatively beginning to make themselves felt. An eclipse on 9th March 1997 released into the collective consciousness a vision of completion, of enlightenment. A flame was lit in the human psyche, brighter than before, which called us to draw near and remember our original face, just visible in the dancing shadows. A deeper knowing was awakened in many and the seed for it planted in many more. We were changed from that moment, even if we didn’t know it. Since then our task has been to know it, to live intimately with the divine, with the universe, the god-force. To discover just how deeply we are guided and led by forces whose influence stretches far beyond anything we had previously known. In 1997 we were conceived in truth, at this eclipse we are born of it, stark and undeniable, beautiful and nourishing, truth in all its guises and glory: harsh and gentle, in darkness and in light.

Don’t look away. Whatever you see at this time, in the symbolic darkness of an obscured Sun, don’t look away. No matter what, it cannot diminish the authentic self within. This Real Self has power, it carries weight. It challenges the very foundations of life as we know it. It refuses to conform to mindless notions of right and wrong, to dictates of value and worth that dishonour inner wealth. It sees through artifice, laughs in the face of shame and denies everything but the bold and beautiful truth. The world is not ready for the Real Self and yet still it emerges, in you and in me, in the collective psyche which twists and turns to accommodate a deeper knowing that nothing is as it seems. The Real Self emerges every time we stop and wait, sensing the integrity of the moment, the deep, pulsating beat of the unified heart, time-keeper of our collective awakening. It grows in strength and fortitude each time we honour its wisdom over and above the expectations and demands of the external world which denies all but that which can be counted, compared and traded. The Real Self knows that to think one’s own thoughts is the only path to freedom, whilst the world demands unthinking conformity and the False Self agrees.

The power of this solar eclipse will remove rose-tinted glasses and veils that hide the truth. We cannot stop it nor can we choose to postpone our own awakening. This – right here, right now – is the end of denial, the end of artifice, the end of avoidance. This is life in all its terrible grace and terrifying beauty. For this we were born: a visceral, unavoidable, undeniable confrontation with the very heart of All That Is. We may greet this eclipse in mourning or ecstasy, in freedom or bondage, but wherever we find ourselves we are living the life shaped by choices made, commitments honoured, promises broken and betrayals enacted since the collective spirit was shaken awake never again to sleep. Each moment since then has been a step upon the path to awakening. Whether those steps have taken us deeper into truth or into shadow has no impact on their power. Each one has shaped who we are and the relationship we now have with the authentic and sacred self within. We are precisely who we have caused ourselves to be. The extent to which we have denied the truth or sacrificed its pursuit in favour of security reveals the extent to which we must now change and grow in ever more vital and transformative ways.

The past is gone. Never was this statement more true, for second chances – third and fourth – have all dissolved. Opportunities missed may never return. We had our chance and did with it as we saw fit. Now here we stand at the grand closure of a cosmic cycle, reviewing its shape in our lives, invited by the cosmos into deep reflection on how we best move forward from here. Let it go: regret or shame, sorrow or sadness for chances now gone. They were not for you or me this time around. New ones await us the other side of the darkened Sun. They hold promise of wisdom and hope of freedom from all that held us back before. The cosmic clock continues to tick-tock its way through our awakening as our hearts synchronise to respond, this time without hesitation, heeding the call of the divine to prioritise truth above all.
