Living Life Today – Is your Life Imaginary or Imaginationary?

Posted on by

Imaginary or Imaginationary?“The Living Life Today series provides a platform to think about your Life as it is Now, enjoy what you have, review and create an even better future for tomorrow”….. Short, sharp & easily digestible.

Are you living in a world of “make-believe” or do you believe that you can make your world?

Imaginary stuff can be fun in the right context however isn’t helpful when it comes to your Life.

The difference between Imaginary & Imaginationary in my opinion, is that the latter(imaginationary) is creative…..and is then (largely) followed by action. Whereas the former(imaginary) forever remains in limbo, “wishing it would come true”.

Do you know people like that? You know, wishing things would change, wishing for a better Life, better luck etc,.

Those who create their worlds….. big, small, everyday type worlds, imagine what it will be like when it happens…..they create then take action…..they dream with intent (a fave of mine)

Imagination is one of our greatest strengths, when used correctly.

So when you are ‘Living your Life Today’ do you want to create or “wish” your way thru it?

I think a little creativity is in order, don’t you?

Be good to yourselves

Where’s your Aimpoint…somewhere in the middle?…why not aim higher?

Posted on by

Who wants to be mediocre?Hmmm...…Really

Do you aim for it?

Is it something you say/do when you first get up in the morning…”Geewizz ‘mediocrity’ looks to be on the agenda today, let’s go get it”

Mediocrity is said to “be the enemy of greatness” yet mediocrity is everywhere we look & is accepted as part of many people’s daily lives.

People in general want to “fit in, be one of the crowd”. It seems a sin to want to stand out, be extraordinary, be conspicuous, be great.

Being ‘one of the crowd’ may have some merit for those who have previously felt isolated, lonely, lack self-esteem….and that’s fair enough. And when you get “re-established”, adjust your aim so that you shoot a little higher.

For the majority  who should know better but seem intent on “just getting through the day”, “making no waves” and all the similar excuses that go with this – your aim is well, short of the mark (classic mediocrity).

Aiming higher gets the senses working overtime, in your favour. It will make you feel alive and when “going for it”, The Universe will conspire to give you every support. If you “don’t have a go” as we say here in Aussieland, you let yourself down. Not everybody will achieve what they aim for however aiming for something greater…..is achievement in itself.

That being said, how do we break free of our mediocrity and aim for something better? – We can start by making conscious choices to do so.

We can choose to think differently and use our imagination to look at our world through a different set of eyes.

Start by asking.…. What can I achieve?

What if I said “Yes I can” not “No I can’t”?

Imagination opens up a lot of “what if’s” and ‘What could be’s”. Don’t just accept ‘what is’…consider ‘what if’…and open up fresh possibilities.

Use your imagination to create a better life for yourself. Open up the possibilities, release the average, introduce the greatness in your life and very importantly…follow thru on your new imagined Life and believe that you CAN do it – let go of the mediocrity, it’s not your friend.

Be good to yourselves

Living Life Today – be Excited about your Life

Well, are you?…excited by Life that is

Do you look forward to each day?

Do you enjoy what you do?

I see so many “lost souls” meandering through their day seemingly stuck in a ‘trance like’ mode.

I have flat spots during my week, I’m sure that we all do however I always find a trigger point to get me back into excitement mode. It could be anything however it always starts with a thought & I see the key to excitement is “thinking excitement”, with the emphasis on the “thinking” part.

You see, I view my Life as one to be lived not one to just exist in. Simply being Alive is justification to be excited!…..it’s not something to take for granted. It’s the opportunity to learn, grow, love, share & explore. What’s not to be excited about that!

Being excited draws all the “happenings” to you…naturally. Excitement creates energy & vibration…it can’t help but draw same to you. C’mon join in!

So, what excites you!…Let me know in the comments below

To get the ball rolling:

I am excited by the early morning sun, by endless possibilities that can enter my day, by my daughters’ evolving maturity, by nature, by new friends coming into my Life, by my thoughts and imagination…..and I could go on but I won’t, it’s over to you…

Be good to yourselves

Just saying it as it is….. Part 2

Posted on by

Time can get awayI enjoy ‘being in the moment’… which means being aware of my thoughts and feelings in that moment and enjoying to the max.

It is however a balancing act ‘being in the moment’ continuously and also having an eye on your future.

Imagining & Visioning how you want your Life to unfold & where you want your Life to be at a certain point ‘down the path’ is fine.

But be aware… Being ”in the moment” and being caught up in the moment are different.

Being in the moment embraces enjoyment, awareness of your thoughts and feelings as I mentioned earlier…..well, at least that’s my opinion.

Being caught up in the moment can be delightful and distracting at the same time. Delightful when you have enjoyed & know when to let go & move on. Distracting when you see nothing else but the moment that you are in……and time gets away.

If you imagine your Life to be this or that in say 10 years then what are you doing about it now?

Imagining is fine, I love it, however it is also essential to keep painting your bigger picture with constant brush strokes(thoughts and actions).  Otherwise in 10 years you will have an unfinished ‘masterpiece’, be rooted to the same spot & wonder where the time went…..and that would be a shame.

Keep painting.

Be good to yourselves

Living your Mid Life – 6 things that I learned, can be done with Purpose instead of Ho Hum

Posted on by
14

I’m a Mid Life ‘tragic’. My journey through the Mid Life years has been interesting to say the least. Mostly enjoyable, definitely a learning experience…..isn’t that what Life throws at us?… a lot of learning

We learn all through Life. Our Mid Life years have a different type of learning attached and this is what this post is about. I’ll get straight to the point (as usual)…

Love each moment…..and I mean it. There is not a finite amount left, leave no regrets

Ask many questions…..Yes, there are more to ask & there is always more learning. Learning keeps you young. To learn you need to ask, then you can experience and enjoy

Share your experiences…..it is difficult to fully appreciate your Life unless you share…..with lovers, with family, with friends…..sharing adds value

Imagine your bigger picture…..always work toward a bigger picture, a bigger goal…..this keeps the juices flowing & prevents staleness. Mid Life is about extracting maximum value from Life not sitting idle and looking on.lake-eyre Australia that's big

Care enough, in fact care more…..about you and others and what your Life holds for you and most importantly…..how you will live your Life…..it’s not a joke, it’s your Life

There’s nothing you can’t do…and there’s time in which to do it…..don’t stress, instead enjoy. Don’t say “it’s too late” or “I’m too old”…..that’s B.S Savour and value each day. Play the Game as it’s meant to be played…..with Purpose and you will find the time to do what you want to do.

Rest, Renewal, Reflection…it’s time

Posted on by
14

It’s Monday morn here in Aussie land as I pen this down. This morning I had a long, long, long overdue sleep in. The ‘sleep in’ wasn’t all that long however my body was telling me that rest was long overdue.

I have no “appointments” in my diary today. I had another blog post scheduled however felt the timing for this, was just right.

Today, I am going to renew myself and spend time on reflecting and imagining…..and it’s a beautiful sunny day to boot!This is not my garden

Tomorrow, I will be firing on all cylinders again.

Being aware that your body needs to rest is key.

Burnout, stress or other ailments can surface if we do not allow ourselves “time out” on occasion. And it doesn’t have to be a big time out. Just enough to rejuvenate yourself.

However if you ignore ‘the signs’ and don’t rest, then recovery will take a lot longer.

Periodic rest breaks will ensure your longevity in the Game of Life.

That’s enough…..I’m off to rest & renew plus I am going to add a decent spot of Imagining just for good measure.

Be good to yourselves

Just saying it as it is…..Part 1

Posted on by

I am a poor “Rule” follower. I don’t like being;

categorised,

placed in a box,

told I need to follow this, follow that,

told how I should think etc,

Sure, there are wider society ‘rules’ that one should abide by…..I’m not talking about social anarchy here.

Even though I am fond of Imagining(you might like to check out my Imagination series from last year) and am getting pretty good at it, I still get the feeling that there is (an expectation) that my thoughts, my Well, imagine that...actions should follow a defined path…not necessarily narrow however only as wide as what is expected by broader society convention.

Today, I am breaking free of my (perhaps self imposed?) restrictions via “convention” and commencing my own set of “rules”…..

If I imagine it, then I will do it

If it serves my purpose, then I will do it

If it enriches me, then I will do it

…….regardless of what others may think or convention may dictate. I am answerable only to myself (with due respect to our higher Authority).

How about you? Do you feel trapped by conventional thinking, categorising, others’ expectations?

Living Life Today – The Magic of a daily dose of Sunshine

Posted on by
10

Sun's up - time to shine“The Living Life Today series provides a platform to think about your Life as it is Now, enjoy what you have, review and create an even better future for tomorrow”….. Short, sharp & easily digestible.

Sunshine makes us feel Happy. The warmth of the sun on our back, the glow, the sense that everything is Alive.

If your day has been a little “dark”, stepping into some glorious sunshine can make the world of difference.

External sunshine is not the only tonic though. We need to find our daily ‘internal rays of sunshine’

The thoughts and actions that give us a warm, fuzzy, feel good sense of belonging in this world. Our days can seem like an endless stream of ‘stuff’ happening with hardly the opportunity to appreciate our environment.

If your days, especially during the working week, seem like this…..Try punctuating your day with your own dose of ‘sunshine‘…let your mind escape to a ‘better place’ if only for a minute or two, do a good deed, deliver a word of encouragement or shine a smile on someone…..delivering your own piece of sunshine will reflect back on you.

Let’s shine people!

Be good to yourselves

Feel like you are out of your Depth?…..A Simple way to get level with a 3 step formula

Posted on by
10

Hello fellow Life Lovers. There are times for all of us when we feel ”This is deepout of our depth”…..unchartered waters so to speak…whether it’s caused by…

Fear of the unknown OR fear of the known (results of doing/not doing) & our current circumstances.

Being in ‘deep water’ will manifest all types of fears…..and excuses. Quickly, these get out of control. It is likely that you are imagining all sorts of dire consequences.

“Imagining”, now there’s a key word.

If you have followed me (and I am really grateful that you have) the past few months, you will be aware of my many thoughts on Imagination…..here’s an example

Instead of ‘imagining all sorts of dire consequences’…try imagining a better picture/a better scenario…..A Simple Way of doing this…

The Three (3) steps

Imagine yourself ‘in your new picture’…Transport yourself via vibrant, fresh thoughts to the place or situation where you want to be…..this is so powerful

Reinforce ‘your picture’…see it clearly , breathe it deeply, touch it lovingly. This may seem simplistic however you must be able to see yourself as you imagine…you are ‘there’ doing all the things that you imagined. It must become a part of you, your thinking, your future.

Believe in ‘your picture’…a ‘no brainer’ really if you’ve mastered steps 1 & 2 however Belief is a very deep thing (I seem to have a fixation with depth today). Belief goes further than ‘re inforcement’ in my opinion. You are attaching your soul to your picture.

It doesn’t get much deeper than that.

Does that seem simple enough?

Be good to yourselves

The Imagination series (Episode 7…final curtain call)

Well, this is the finale in my series of short, thought provoking posts on Imagination. Imagination will live on in my other blog postings however I didn’t want to overstay my welcome with this.

Sheet Music from

How can I “finish” this off, I wonder?

It’s gotta be Big, Huge even, different?…..Hmmmm

Imagine, when you wake up one morning and there is the noise of laughter and singing echoing outside. You peer out of your window……

Your neighbourhood is absolutely full of people dancing & singing, dogs wagging their tails, cats purring and birds chirping…….and of course, the sun is shining brightly……..what a sight to behold!

You go outside to investigate the “fuss”. You ask a spritely looking elderly gentleman doing a jig, “what’s going on?” and he replies……

“Damn if I know, I justed started imagining a better place and found myself here”

you ask another and get the same reply and another, same reply and so on…….

Just Imagine if the whole world started imagining like this………

be good to yourselves, see you at “Living Life Today”…….
