If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau
It still amazes me how writing and visualising can create a magnetic pull in your life that attracts relationships, synchronicities and opportunities to you that are a match to your talents and intent. Writing has great power, and today’s exercise uses journal writing and visualisation as tools to help you open doors, invite opportunity and attract helpful people.
Expect answers and solutions. They often come from left field, and they often manifest themselves very quickly. The more happy, positive and in flow you feel, the faster your solutions and opportunities will arrive. (If you’re not sure what makes you feel good, or how to get into that happy place, there is a great journal exercise and suggestions here.)
Journal Activity
Begin by writing the following passage into your own journal. Feel free to use coloured inks if you wish, or anything else that brightens up your page. Then choose one or more of the journal starters below and just start writing. Let the words flow from your heart. Don’t over-think anything, and most importantly don’t censor anything or limit yourself. You can use the same journal starter more than once if it really resonates for you.
Use the page to create, imagine, and daydream your best self. Feel yourself expanding out from the current limits of your life, dipping your toes in that glorious ocean of possibility.
Dear Universe,
I believe there is more in store in life for me that what is in front of me right now. I have so many gifts to share, and I just need a little help to shine more brightly. I would appreciate some helpful people, some new opportunities, some great teachers and any other synchronicities or miracles you can throw my way. I know some of these can be quickly sorted, and some may take more time. I am open to however this works.
I am excited about my future. I await it with open arms. I say YES to possibilities, and I am READY TO MOVE FORWARD in ways that bring me happiness and that best use my talents and gifts:
Choose from any of these journal starters and begin manifesting your new life:

Daydreaming your way to a new life
When you have ten minutes all to yourself where you won’t be disturbed, go sit in a comfy chair, lie down on the bed, or spend some time in nature. Take your journal with you! Open up this exercise and read one of your answers. Use that as a starting point, close your eyes or gaze off into the distance and just daydream yourself in that ideal life. See yourself having a great time, being successful and happy, getting the thing done, achieving the goal, getting the promotion, having the life or the lifestyle, winning the award, getting married, having that dream trip, riding off into the sunset… See that teacher coming into your life, or your soul mate. Really feel how wonderful that will be, to love and to use your gifts and to live your purpose. An amazing and satisfying and fulfilling life.
Know that daydreaming and visualisation is a proven manifestation tool. Indulge often!
I don’t know how I landed on this page…….but it is EXACTLY what I needed this morning! Thank you so much 🙂
Love this <3 xx
Visualization has such tremendous power. So does asking and letting go of the need to control how and when the universe will provide. Great exercises, thanks.
Yep, it’s never up to us to work out the how, and I am so grateful for that! 😀
A great tip!It boosts my energy levels, to accomplish things in life.Lovey pics, especially the two panda’s.Even animals can spell ‘help’ and ‘compassion’, then why can’t we?
That’s a good point, about the animals helping each other. I like to think that, on balance, most humans have that urge to help others too!
this is beautiful, exciting and very well thought out and written. I love the opening for the journal entry and with your permission would like to share it with some of my clients. I just about covers everything, doesn’t it?! Much thanks for sharing this-and for sharing everything else on this lovely blog as well.
with love light and JOY 😀
Hi Jane, as long as you respect my copyright and acknowledge me as the author I am happy for you to share with some of your clients.

will do. I very often share things which resonate with me personally and have always acknowledged authorship. I have also shared this on my Facebook Timeline. Just love it!

I really enjoyed reading this post, lovely writing!
🙂 Gee, thanks Sherryl! xx
Thank you for reminding me about how powerful visualization is!
You’re welcome. Happy daydreaming! xoxo
Good read, very nice photos. Thanks for sharing Nonoy Manga
I especially love the panda photo!

I live in a house that I visualized myself living in for years. I moved on, and forgot about the visualizations. 10 years later, a chance to move came and this house “materialized.” What you see and what you say is what you get. Blessings on your path!
So true, Catrina! Thanks for sharing your story. 😀
Much love to you xx
wow, so amazing! thank you! this helps me a lot, perfect timing again! ~ j
I’m glad you found it helpful – consider that another act of beautiful synchronistic timing!
Great journal prompts!

another great post, lovie. much food for thought here. and are you kidding me with the panda pic??!!! beyond cute. xo, sm
The pandas? I know!!! Thanks Mother. 😀 xx
That is wonderful Nicole. I love so much to read any positive talking about daydreaming. I have said many times that my dreams are a very important tool in my life and I live in my dreams. I have heard a lot (even from psychiatrists) that it is bad as it leads to disappointment, but I never agreed, because I often realized my dreams by wanting them SO MUCH. I will try the exercise, I will find the time to try.
I have always thought of daydreaming as a good thing. Enjoy happy imaginings, Nikky, and trust that they can pave the way for realities. Much love to you xx
