This past week, I spent a lot of time visualizing.
I got a really beautiful intention exercise from my Chopra certification program and I used it both on myself and to help my coaching clients.
It really works!
I know this because when I look back at my life, everything I accomplished was first a visualization.
I spent years visualizing myself on a big stage, pouring my heart out in my songs. I saw myself graduating from the musical theatre academy in NYC. I visualized walking down the aisle at my wedding ceremony (on this day, Dec. 4th, 21 years ago, I was getting married to Matthew Cameron).
I imagined giving birth to my children and holding them in my arms.
I also visualize a clean desk and imagine the feeling of lightness that comes with working through the piles of papers and being all caught up on that work.
I visualize the food I cook – what it will taste and look like.
I’m sure you do this too.
When we intentionally visualize something that we are ready to commit to making a reality, the pieces somehow fall into place. It feels like God, all the angels, and everything in the Universe arranges these little graces to carry us on our journey.
Of course, we have to be willing to accept and believe this.

Just like today’s song says:
Ships go sailing
Far across the sea
Trusting starlight
To get where they need to be
How do you visualize yourself this Christmas?
Try to visualize each step that you’ll experience.
For example, I will first visualize the ‘big picture’ of sitting around the tree with my boys, and seeing all the beautiful lights and presents under the tree.
Then, I will visualize every step that happens to make that a reality – buying a tree, clearing all the clutter and mess I made while decorating the tree, making a list of gifts, buying the gifts, wrapping them up, etc…
The intentional energy of the joy and calmness that I visualize as part of each step (because I want to do those chores with joy and calmness) can actually change my attitude toward each of the tasks when I’m doing them.
Then, because I’ll experience more joy and calmness (instead of overwhelm and stress), I’ll be a lot more ready, relaxed, grateful, and aware of God’s graces and love when Christmas comes.
Easy, right?
Try it!
