Today I am going to talk about something I asked one of my clients to try. She suffered from a lack of self confidence and was a single mother with a young daughter and wanted to "get out there" and meet someone new, but due to her lack of confidence, she didn’t know what to do.
One of the first things I asked her to do was to imagine that while she was sleeping, a miracle happened and all of her problems were gone, her goals were achieved and she was living the ultimate life. I then asked her to think about what she would notice was different once this miracle had occurred.
Her first reaction was that some of her "miracle" was already happening and that really surprised her. Next I asked her to choose a day over the following week in which to pretend the miracle had in fact happened and to live that day with that thought.
That day changed her life completely.
She told me that people were commenting on how great she looked. The funny thing was that she wasn’t wearing anything different and she never wore makeup, so that wasn’t it. She put it down to the fact that she was walking taller and smiling more.
To cut a long story short, her last email to me was one of gratitude. She was seeing someone and things were looking great in her life. It is amazing how trying just one little exercise completely changed her perception of life, and how that in turn actually changed her life. Interesting!
