Remembering?

I know we are already into February, but the new year is still fresh, and I am running across gems of information on setting goals, making resolutions, visualizing what you want – good New Year’s stuff.  So happy New Year again!

Setting goals and visualizing what you want are good tools for moving into the New Year.  But I recently ran across another innovative way to think about achieving your goals – Remembering!

Very much like the process of pretending it has already happened (a process taught by Neville Goddard), in the remembering process you go way into the future, past the completion of your goal.  From that place you try to remember how you accomplished it.

This process is also like visualizing, except wanting it implies that you might not get it. Whereas remembering implies that it has already existed for some time.  Remembering engages another part of your brain, and has certainty about it.

“It is easier to remember than to create!”

You can play with this process by asking questions!  “Do you remember what first inspired you to write your best selling book?”  “What do you remember doing next?”  Remember the time of year, the smells, and sounds, and feelings you were experiencing, what others were saying to you about your success. Pull others into the fun by having the conversation with a friend, as you both remember your wonderful achievement.

Basically here is the process:

1)    Remember the thrill of accomplishing your goal. 

2)   Then play with remembering how you accomplished it. 

Watch for Dan  Barrett’s book about this concept when it comes out, it is his idea that I “borrowed” to share with you.

I remember how much you loved this process, and that you used it a lot, and brought Dan’s book and loved it!  Remember?

Warmly,
