You may have trouble focusing on your normal activities today, because your mind desires an escape from your ordinary reality. This could make you feel scattered and distant in your work and relationships and leave you feeling dissatisfied emotionally. If you are unable to abandon your normal routine, you can still enjoy a flight of fancy if only in your imagination. Simply set aside some time to be alone and think about the places you would like to explore today. Then close your eyes and imagine what it would be like if you were actually there. See your surroundings in rich detail, and allow yourself to feel the excitement and freedom. If you have trouble creating the imagery in your mind, books or travel brochures can help provide inspiration to fuel your imagination.

By using our imagination to visualize enjoyable experiences, we create a greater level of excitement and contentment in our lives, even if we change nothing in our physical surroundings. Rather than allowing ourselves to feel confined by the limitations in our lives, we can choose to use the power of our minds to create whatever we want to experience. Whether we desire travel to exotic lands, a romantic encounter, or feelings of wealth, our imagination has the ability to create alternate realities. These experiences seem no less real or meaningful because they exist only in our minds, and we still enjoy the pleasure of the feelings they invoke. Whatever you would like to experience today, simply close your eyes and allow your imagination to take you there.
