Do you know that we generate over 80,000 thoughts/day, and that 90% of them are the same? How can we actively choose to create changes in our same old/same old patterns? Let’s try this! Pretend! Scientists report that the body responds the same, whether we’re pretending or actually doin’ the real thing. Emulating someone who is doing what you wish to do, going through the motions, until you’ve got it! Step by step…moment by moment. Sounds too easy, doesn’t it?
Kate’s Turn:
I recently read in the news that someone came upon a pod of dolphins, all tail walking. Imagine the wonder of that! Apparently, a dolphin that was released from captivity shared his creative moves with his pod, and they all got it! They weren’t trained, but simply copied the released dolphin until they acquired the new behavior as well.

What would happen if we observed, experimented, rehearsed in our minds, and simply copied another who was doing something we longed to have in our own repertoire? Pretending, visualizing, rehearsing, experimenting, laughing until we step into that dance/activity/way of being for ourselves? Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
Get Fired Up:
Take a change you’d like to move forward on and observe how it’s already being done---and then have fun and pretend…you just might surprise yourself when you sidestep your self!
