The following is a column that my friend Al Secunda writes for the Happy Times, a monthly magazine that is distributed in Boca Raton and surrounding areas.
One thing that has helped me deal with life, in a more joyful way, is a process I call Creative Thinking. Creative Thinking helps me to clear my mind of fearful thoughts and judgments. When my mind becomes unemcumbered, there is more room for creative thoughts.
Specifically, here is how I use the process of Creative Thinking. I first visualize myself doing the things that I want and need to do. This might include: business projects, housework, cooking, artistic ventures, packing a suitcase, writing checks, etc. In my mind, I see it, feel it, smell it, taste it, and touch it. The more vibrant and focused I can make my mental experience the better. Because I already did it, in my mind, when it comes to actually doing it, I have less fear and resistance. The experience of actually performing the task, project, or assignment is therefore more fun.
The lesson is to love the process. That’s why everything I do looks so easy. Journeying into joy is the name of the game.” You can visit Judy Winchell on her web-site journeyintojoy.com for more insights and experiences into her world of consciousness.
