Exercise to flex the vision muscle.

Vision, vision, vision.

To shape your life and manifest a great one everybody says you need to have a vision.
The next thing is being able to hold that vision.
That means learning to flex the vision muscle is part of my mental fitness regime.
This exercise effects our ‘Being’ under the ‘Be-Do-Have’ principle.

To stay with the analogy of physical fitness it is like this;
the working of the mind muscles that are holding up your vision are comparable with the muscles that are holding up the spine.

If the spine muscles are not working optimally there are consequences.
The skeleton, the backbone of the body becomes weak and then your back is going to give you grief, pain and restricted mobility.
All are not things to strive for.

So to keep to the analogy, training the muscles that hold your vision is a must.

And the bigger the vision the harder the muscles work.

Finding a vision is not the aim of this exercise.
I assume you have one even if it might not be the ultimate big one.

It took me several years to find a vision that was big enough to have me go beyond my ego that only cared about looking good.

As finding the ultimate vision takes time, let’s learn to flex the muscle with the one that you currently have.
And there is every chance that your vision might change as a result of doing this exercise anyway.

This exercise is reshaping your thoughts and training your mind to hold your vision so you access your ‘being’ great, brilliant, generous, abundant and courageous and all the other good words you can come up with.
It catches the negative thoughts when doing your daily grinds.
These negatives thoughts are pulling you away from your greatness and have you accessing fear and scarcity instead of prosperity and abundance.
This will make you act less effective in manifesting a great life.

One indicator of lack of fitness in this area is how often you feel out of sorts.

Begin the exercise with sitting still and by asking yourself the question; “for the sake of what am I doing what I am doing.” and see what you come up with.
If the answer feels good and attractive enough to get you out of bed on cold rainy days stick with it until you find a better one that lights up your life.
This question was asked by Victoria Castle on her ‘Embodied Abundance’ course.
It helped me hugely to see if I was working from my vision or if I was coming from fear or lack.
I am also clear where my grumpiness is coming from, thank you Victoria.

So begin the exercise with sitting still and do it especially when you feel grumpy, out of sorts, small or overwhelmed.
The remarks in italic are the ones that improve your vision muscle; the texts in normal font are examples of my bad postures showing up and needing adjustment.

“Are you accessing your ‘for the sake of what”.
Oh go away, you know writing this blog doesn’t make sense. Who actually cares about my blurbs. I am useless.
Other people have far better and bigger blogs.
“Stop right there, for the sake of what are you blogging? ”
I am not going to say that, it sounds a bit, you know…..
“Tell me”
.…no….
“Stop it right there, tell me”
…..well…it is for the sake of accessing and showing my own brilliance, so I pull other people up to their level of brilliance, and see how soppy that sounds…
“That sounds great, it is fantastic, what a world we would have if everybody accessed their brilliance.”
Now hold your vision
…okay…
“sit still for another few minutes, repeat your answer to the question ‘for the sake of what’ and indulge yourself in fully believing in your vision and your own greatness AND feel how good that feels.”

“And now get on with your blogging!”

I invite you to do this exercise and share how you get on.
For me this one works like a treat. I am certainly more focused and daring, yahooo.
