Visualization was so calm today. Really peaceful and light. There were so many thoughts going through my mind today. How am I going to structure my next 30 day trial? How far should I push myself? Has visualization become a habit?

I’m going to extend it 30 more days just to make sure, but I won’t be blogging about it everyday. This next 30-day trial I’ll probably post an entry at the start, on day 15, and at the end to share results.

I’m wondering if doing something every day at the same time makes a difference in building a habit. I visualized for 20 minutes every day throughout this past 30 days, but I didn’t do it at the same time every day.

Final Thoughts

Overall I’m really glad I started and finished this trial. There were several results that came from it and I plan to post all about it tomorrow. They weren’t huge, monumental results but I feel like I planted some great seeds. I’m a beginner right now when it comes to visualization so I imagine if I can keep it up and learn more about it I can use it more effectively.

Thank you so much to all that followed along. Whether you’re aware of it or not, I felt like you really kept me accountable. This has really sparked some type of fire in me, so I guess it’s my job to keep that fire burning.

Visualization was great today. Not really that much intensity, but an extreme calmness. It’s starting to get kind of scary because I know visualization is working. It’s bringing new experiences that push me out of my comfort zone. That’s a good thing though.

Productivity was great today. I got a lot of things done that I had previously been afraid to do. Looking back on the whole situation makes me think how stupid it was to be scared of doing those things in the first place.

I’m almost done with this trial and I’m so glad I did it. I’ve learned a lot about myself and about the power of 30-day trials. I can’t wait for the next 30-day trial (Nov 1). I really want to push myself more.

Day 30, Let’s GO!

Visualization was good today. I visualized laying down and the vivid intensity was there.

The Ten-Day Challenge

I kept having this Ten-Day Challenge in my mind from the book Awaken the Giant Within. Basically he challenges the reader to “not indulge in or dwell on any unresourceful thoughts or emotions for ten consecutive days”. Also to be solution-oriented and change your state immediately when you catch yourself wallowing in negative emotion.

That really hit me. No stress/anxiety? No anger? No frustration? No fear? All I could visualize was a day like that. There’s no question it would drastically enhance the quality of life immediately. I ran across the concept of catching negative emotions before, but the first time I heard it someone was talking about living your whole life like that. That would be great, but it might be overwhelming to a person just starting out in personal growth. It was overwhelming to me so I just brushed it off. Now I feel like I have such an important tool – less. I know if I can live one day like that then I can live ten. If I can have ten then I could have 30 and so on.

I’ve decided to wait to read Creative Visualization. I would be rushing if I tried to read it now, but I still have every intention on reading it and other resources on visualization.

Day 29 let’s go!

This is a continuation of the 30-Day Visualization Trial. More detail about the trial can be found here.

Visualization was good today. Not that much intensity. I visualized laying down then I fell asleep afterward.

I really want to do something about these distractions. Particularly internet browsing. That could definitely be replaced by much more productive action. I also think a schedule might help. Something to organize my day the way I want it and keep me focused. I’ll have to take it easy with the schedule though. Last time I tried that I penciled in too many activities back to back and just became overwhelmed.

I really don’t have that much to report seeing as I wrote yesterday’s entry at about midnight and I’m writing this one before noon soooooooo….

Day 28 let’s go!
