Fill Your Brain With Whimsy
Making time in your day to daydream or fantasize about your goals or even pure fantasy is beneficial as it adds wonderful source materials to your brain and delightful emotions you can pull from when you are purposely manifesting your desires. Dream On, Baby!!!
So, do you make time to meditate everyday - if only for a few minutes? Many people have difficulty meditating but if they could just fantasize instead, they would reap many of the same benefits, especially if they fit it into their break time or sitting in the car before they leave work!
If you (or a friend) have trouble quieting your mind, or it takes you too long to slip into that void, perhaps filling your head with whimsy is for you… you may find it easier & more fun when you must budget your time (or you’re bored in a meeting!).
Closing your eyes will make this simpler to do (unless you’re in that meeting). Sometimes, that is all I have to do to trigger my brain and my body that I’m chilling out for a few. If you’re home and want to lay down, go for it! You may need to take a couple deep breaths or ‘shake it out’ prior to beginning…
then just let your mind open. Grab onto a passing thought, or continue from an earlier episode you began. I’ll give you some ideas for continuous play below, but if you want something new each time or something other, latching onto that thought about Aunt Lucy dipping snuff when you were a kid (what? where did that come from?) The good news is, it doesn’t matter! You have 5 minutes for play, so jump on it!
EXAMPLE
My Aunt Lucy did dip snuff and sometimes the image of her putting the wet, brown glob on my bee sting pops into my head - plus, I know a lot of funny stories about Lucy. Just remembering a few of those is enough to make me smile (sometimes laugh out loud), thereby adding laughter, happy thoughts, and amusement to my day! What a deal! Maybe I was feeling grumpy about that meeting and now I feel good because that guy with the pointer and boring monologue voice reminded me of Lucy and that bee sting… and hey, what he’s talking about wouldn’t fix the problem! He’s just putting spit and a bandaid on the issue… we need to come up with another solution! Here I go marching into the boss’s office with my own, more beneficial in the long run proposal!
OK, I just had a little daydream fun there, pretending I was you and… you get it. I felt the giggly ‘eww’ over the snuff, the AHA moment, and the excitement of knowing how to improve something! Those are good feelings and emotions to store up in my brain for use another day.
Your fun time doesn’t always end in a possible promotion, but any fun, happy, overcoming moment you create in your mind is G.O.O.D. for you. I love sci-fi, both real and not real, so I work that theme into my fantasy life (I have a whole other timeline going on - but that’s for another day).
Your own passion may be driving a race car, acting on Broadway, or being a ballerina, which you can use to raise your excitement level as you sling around a hairpin turn at 80 mph. Maybe you just want to tiptoe through the tulips on top of all your colleagues’ heads… you can mix the fantasy with the reality!
IDEAS You Can Steal From Me:
Alien Abduction (of course) but only by friendly and wiser aliens
Sailing around the world, stopping in little ports along the way
Living in another time period (this one is fun to mix with current time)
Being a mermaid/merman
Jamming out on stage with favorite band
Having a supernatural power (try not to use it for detrimental purposes)
Traveling to anywhere to soak up the environment there - ahhhh!
This should get you started. You already do this! Just do it with more intention!
