Unlocking Your Potential: The Power of Playing the “What If” Game

Let’s play the “what if” game.

What if you received everything your heart desired?

What if you were living your purpose?

What if abundance was flowing your way?

The “what if” game allows us to open up to potentials that fear wants to protect us from.

When we play the “what if” game, our resistance is down and we can truly surrender to those desires we shove deep down in the crevices of our soul.

The “what if” game is a shaman, pointing us in the direction of our truth.

For many of us, we need to treat real potential outcomes as a fantasy before our brain can accept them as actual potentials.

We need to play pretend before we can execute.

But what’s beautiful about playing pretend… is that if you pretend long enough it BECOMES your reality.

If you pretend to be a life coach for long enough… you’ll become one!

If you pretend to be a happily married person for long enough… eventually you’ll meet your person!

And if you pretend to be confident long enough… your brain and body will have no choice but to follow suit!

“Reality” is an interesting thing. It's quite moldable and open to interpretation. The way we perceive things has a massive impact on what is actually happening.

In fact, our brains do such a poor job at remembering the past and predicting the future, that we could argue nothing is really “real”.

You can shape your future to be ANYTHING you want it to be.

You just have to go through a period feeling a little ridiculous because you are attached to your familiar self. It will feel a little cringe, a little unnatural, to become the new you. But that doesn’t mean it's not right!

Ignore those feelings and trust the process.

Play pretend that you are the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Indulge your inner child and indulge the part of you that desperately wants to be the person you have not become yet.

Who knows… after a few months of pretending… you might not need to pretend anymore. ;)

Keep inspiring,
