Great Exercises. Movie trailer for your life.
Ok, so I want to give you an exercise and a track to do it to. I am a child of the 80’s so the Brat Pack lives deep in my heart. When I was doing this myself, I dug up the Instrumental Love Theme from St. Elmo’s Fire. It is THE quintessential movie trailer track. It might feel a little dated to some, but just give it a shot.
What I would like to suggest that you do, is find a space where you will not be disturbed. I’d like you to listen to this track while you do this. As the music goes on (and you can listen to it on repeat for about 15 minutes) I’d like you to imagine the movie trailer of the THING you want: better job, happy love life, more money. Whatever it is that you’d like to see come into your life. Now this is a feel good movie, so as you imagine the scenes remember this is classic Hollywood.
As you’re imagining this trailer of you getting what you want in your head, and I want you to go so deep that you feel it on your skin (this is the actual trick here) narrate the trailer out loud. So you hear yourself telling yourself what you getting what you want looks like.
Let me know how this goes for you.
