Ideal Day Exercise, Visualisation & Journaling

Create Yourself - Practical Activities for Self-discovery, Transformation and change.

Ideal Day Exercise - This podcast includes a short visualisation, and if you scroll down I include relevant journal prompts. Do you believe your mind has the power to create your own reality? I do. In this video, I'm sharing with you a transformative tool that many successful people, including top athletes, use regularly. This exercise has been a powerful practice for my therapy clients and students I work with as a Student Counsellor at a local university. It combines the power of visualisation and journaling to help you tap into your inner self, attract what you desire, and ultimately create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Whether you're chasing your dreams, working towards personal goals, or simply wanting to make positive changes in your life, visualisation can be the key to unlocking your aspirations and full potential. Not sure if this works? It doesn't matter whether you believe in it right now; just allow yourself to go with it. **Have fun and dream big**, because the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves. This is your opportunity to imagine a life you’d love living in the future. You don't need to be a master at visualising for this exercise! I know that not everyone finds it easy to "see" things in their mind's eye. No problem! You don’t need to create a perfect image, just a sense or feeling of what your ideal day could be. Think of this exercise as a motivating tool—a chance to explore what matters to you and what will bring more joy, purpose, and satisfaction into your life. #Idealday - Guided Visualisation & Journaling Practice We are going to imagine ourselves five years from now, living our ideal day. This isn’t some fantasy day where you win the lottery or jet off to a Caribbean beach—this is a normal but ideal day that leaves you feeling fulfilled and satisfied. Journaling Practice: After your visualisation, take some time to journal about the experience. Reflect on what you noticed. What insights came up? What do you want more of in your life? What elements of your ideal day are already present in your life today? Start Small, Begin Today Don’t wait five years to start living your ideal life! Ask yourself: What small steps can I take today to move closer to this vision? For example, if part of your ideal day includes a cosy home filled with comfortable cushions and scented candles, why not make that happen now? When I did this exercise with a client, she imagined these small but meaningful details, and we realised she didn’t need to wait five years to enjoy them. In fact, she made these small changes right away. I’m already living parts of my ideal day. For instance, I have a solid morning routine that includes yoga and journaling, which are all elements of my ideal day. This **Ideal Day Exercise** blends two of my favourite practices—visualisation and journaling. By engaging your senses and allowing yourself to fully imagine your future, you can start making decisions today that align with your bigger goals. This practice helps bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Often, when we think about our ideal life, the gap can feel like the Grand Canyon—so vast that it feels impossible to reach. But the key is to **start small**. Take one step today, and you’ll be amazed at how much closer you’ll feel to living your ideal life. 🌟 **Remember: The only limits are the ones we impose on ourselves.** - Bob Proctor Let me know in the comments below: What is one small step you’ll take today to start living your ideal life?
