I do not know where along the road that "Day Dreaming" received such a bad rap and became a stigma!
I do know this however, it is an unfair rap!
Day Dreaming as a concept is not such a bad idea. I refer to Day Dreaming as "Visualization Lite" in that is a positive action in serious need of some positive, emotional "Steroids".
I truly believe that there is no greater tool at our disposal as human beings than our ability to visualize, day dream, imagine AND shape our minds to follow that path - SIMPLY BY repetitive and PASSIONATE visual exercises!
TOT turned me on to an amazing piece of work called "Gods in the Chrysalis" and it is a poem that I try to read every morning as I put on the "armor" and head out into "Battle". (FYI - A Chrysalis is the cocoon-like staging area for a butterfly).
If you have not read it I STRONGLY URGE you to read it here - PRINT it out like I did - and keep it with you!
READ it EVERY TIME you can - every time you need a BOOST, a REMINDER of what brings JOY and Happiness!

One of the most poignant concepts in this tremendous piece states:
"Try to fix firmly in your mind that you would like to do and then without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal.
Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do and then as the days go gliding by, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunity that are required for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs.
Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual.
Thought is supreme."
The whole point of this poem is that we are in "Creation" mode and WHATEVER we FOCUS on in our minds is EXACTLY what we will BECOME!!
Some key words - "unconsciously seizing", "the thought you hold is hourly transforming you", "Thought is Supreme" ----
ALL of these point to the POWER and STRENGTH of our Minds and our Thoughts!!
Do not take your idle thoughts for granted and MONITOR them for negativity and fear and doubt!
Take the passive "Day Dreaming" we all do and ramp it up to FULL VISUALIZATION of what you want to be and do!
If you are stuck in a bad place - bad job, bad relationship, bad health, bad anything, the WORST thing you can do is to dwell on it and focus upon your CURRENT STATE!
The first step of pulling out of that situation is VISUALIZING what it is you WANT - what do you wish to replace in this spot going forward!
FEEL IT, taste it - close your eyes and be clear in the details of the future life you are GOING to ACHIEVE!
Do not stray from that vision of the life you want - and whenever you start feeling badly about your current state - IMMEDIATELY jump to that "Day Dream" - that visualization!!!
And sure enough you will start moving toward that spot -- you will be drawn to the circumstances, the people, the actions necessary to take you out of the "current" and to pull you to your DESIRED destination!!!
Trust me -- it works -- it is amazing!
So keep Day Dreaming -- but take it another step! TRULY BELIEVE in what you are seeing in your all-powerful mind and BELIEVE that it will be yours!
Every bad situation IMPROVES!! Remember that - you are not alone!!!
Stay Strong and have a TREMENDOUS week!
