Let me show you how powerful your imagination can be.  If I placed a plank of wood on the floor and asked you to walk from one end to the other you wouldn't have any trouble doing that, would you?  Then I said 'Close your eyes and imagine the plank was 20 metres above the ground suspended between two buildings'. Suddenly the simple task becomes difficult, even frightening and the only thing that changed is what you were imagining in your mind.

As children, we used our imagination without any judgement but were quickly conditioned to be "realistic".  This means we cease using one of the most powerful and creative faculties of the mind.  Every invention was created in the imagination, successful people succeeded by using their imagination. Thinking outside the box.

You are always using your imagination as a default mechanism but often in a limited way.  Some people habitually imagine the worst, problems in relationships, difficulties at work, financial struggle etc. and attract what they have thought of. Even if they resist it. People that are stuck in the comfort zone have allowed their imagination to go to sleep.

One of the things I do as a coach is help my clients to release the creative power of their imagination by thinking new thoughts, possibilities and ideas.  The results are often dramatic as new events, people and circumstances begin appearing in their lives. Like a muscle that becomes stronger with use so does your imagination.  Use it to create greater possibilities in your life.
