Hi Friend,

We writers spend lots of time in our imaginations.

So you can use your vivid imagination to envision your future.

Here's how I do it...

The unknown future pulls me forward.

In my journal I explore what I desire.

I step into the now of my desire by exploring what I see, what I hear, what I feel, and what I smell and taste.

I also explore what that version of me is thinking about and believing.

Now your turn.

When you think of your future what do you dream about?

What do you envision?

To explore, step into your senses.

What does it look like?
Feel like?
Sound like?
Smell/taste like?
What does this version of you think and believe?

Hit reply and share your replies with me or just how the exercise went.

Thanks!

You just did some NLP :)

Read on for our upcoming workshop on how I can help use NLP to enhance your writers live and deepen your writing skills.

On to the podcast...

Feminine Sovereignty, Envisioning Positive Futures, and Revolution with Maggie Ostara (part 2)

We are the culture makers. And your book, I feel, really invites people into that in such a beautiful way. “

– Beth Barany
