Guide to Visualisation Meditation | The Secret of Change
Hello Reader,
“The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Socrates
2500 (or so) years on and it's still great advice!
Socrates advises us not to dwell on what's wrong with the current situation or what has happened in the past. He's telling us, to instead channel energy into creating something different... something better. This doesn't mean ignoring problems (no sticking your head in the sand hehe), but it does mean focusing on solutions.
This week we're (accidently) focusing on the power of mindset! The above phrase is just one of many that we discussed during this week's fun podcast episode!
Unlocking Your Potential: A Beginner’s Guide to Visualisation Meditation
Visualisation meditation offers all the amazing benefits of mindful meditation, but it also helps you take action towards your goals. Visualisation is one of the best tools to help you achieve what you desire, this is why it’s often used in the practice of manifestation.
A guided visualisation meditation takes you on a journey to imagine the feelings, thoughts and even experiences you desire to welcome into life. This practice shifts how you feel, it helps you feel like you have infinite potential and that YES you can achieve your goal, whatever it may be. This feeling then impacts your next action step, most likely, it will be in the direction towards your goal!
386: Listen For Instant Motivation!
Over the last 10 years, we’ve found so much value in motivational quotes and sayings. They’ve been our go-to during tough times, and they have truly helped boost our self-confidence. We’re big believers in the impact words can have!
During this episode, we go through a bunch of amazing quotes and discuss them. We have no doubt that once you’ve tuned in to this episode you will feel instant motivation to step towards your goal!
We went through so many quotes, these are just a few:
💜 “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” — Vincent Van Gogh
It’s easy to forget that the small things are important as well. Focus on that single first step and the next step feels so much more achievable.
💜 “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill
It’s the journey that counts, not the destination.
💜 “The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” — Socrates
Visualise what we wish and what we desire to welcome into our life, it’s more likely to become a reality.
💜 “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.” — Dolly Parton

Hello amazing Reader, We're about to go to the shops to buy some ingredients for family dinner... we're making Ragu and we're deciding on what cake to make... should we go for the zesty Lemon and Ricotta cake (check out the recipe below), or the rich, chocolatey Torta Caprese? What's for dinner at your house tonight? On another note, this week (the first week of September, can you believe it?!) we recorded our first podcast since Carla welcomed baby Denny to the world (go Sis!). And since...
