How do you train your imagination?

Your imagination is already trained, you just need to uncover its power.

Start by paying attention to your thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1

Block 15 minutes of solo time, every day, no distractions. Preferably early in the morning, right after waking up. Avoid any food or coffee, just water or tea.

Step 2

Sit comfortably and close your eyes, ensure you have a relaxed breathing pattern.

Step 3

Learn how to self-reflect by playing your own mental movie, using your ‘minds’ eye and virtual senses.’

Step 4

Let your imagination explode throughout the day by changing your frame of mind and lifestyle.

… Easier said than done, right?… No worries, follow the instructions in the mindful framing book.

Absolutely. I wish everyone realized that being mindful of nature, your emotions and your organism can change your life!

A few years ago I was embedded in the social (or anti-social) rat race that defines our daily life. We strive for MORE of everything, never content. We compare and despair.

We are avoiding self-reflection by finding ways to distract our minds with anything that comes handy, including the Super Bowl.

Now I spend time alone connecting with Nature, harmonizing my Emotions and invigorating my Organism. Anxiety and stress are something in my past. Anything more tangible than this?

If this is what you are looking for, consider mindful framing.
