Self-Coaching Tip: Pre-Tend to Your Future
From a very early age, we have
had the ability to visualize or tap into our kinesthetic body. We
called it "pretending." As children, we routinely tried on new patterns
of Being, instinctually exploring our Authentic Nature by trying on
different personas and seeing how they "fit." Being a ballerina or
astronaut may have "resonated" with our Authentic Self, while being the
‘bad guy’ might have left us feeling cold.
When we tried on a persona that resonated, we delved into that
experience over and over, developing a deep affinity for the traits we
perceived as "ballerina," or “astronaut," or "doctor." Most of us
stopped pretending as we moved into adulthood, judging the practice as
immature. But, actually, pretending is an easy and effortless way to
change from a state of fear, anxiety or uncertainty to a state of love,
confidence, and hope.
Pretending
allows us to tap into our Spiritual Power by combining thought with
movement. When we pretend and really get into the experience of
pretending, we begin to activate the traits within us that support,
rather than inhibit attracting the life we want. The power of
pretending lies in the purposeful movement that amplifies the trait we
want to activate and maintain. The purposeful movement in pretending
includes rhythm, breathing and posture.
Think of it as Pre-Tending to
your future. By moving into the energetic essence of what you want to
co-create with Source, you’re activating the Law of Attraction. More
importantly, you’re focused on BE-ing in the moment and ‘allowing’
Source to worry about how it will show up. State your intention
to stay in this ‘play’ energy while completing a task and notice any
changes in your body, thoughts and emotions while pretending your way
through the task.
"Swept
up by the deepest states of play, one feels balanced, creative,
focused. Deep play is a fascinating hallmark of being human; it reveals
our need to seek a special brand of transcendence, with a passion that
makes thrill-seeking explicable, creativity possible, and religion
inevitable." ~ Diane Ackerman, author of Deep Play
