Comment one thing you are visualizing for your day, your practice and your life.

Have you heard of phantom adjusting? Dr. Jim Sigafoose would have us do this crazy thing; we adjusted people who weren’t there!

When I would practice this in my clinic, my daughter would sign these imaginary people in. Hillary would bring them back, I would adjust them, I would hug them, they would get rescheduled.

We were actually acting as if we were seeing that many people! We were altering our wiring. And it works!

We were acting as if. We were visualizing it, feeling it, and giving thanks for it. And then we were physically moving our bodies through it.

This is the most powerful formula of all for rewiring and it changes our experience of reality.

If you are too ready to visualize your day the way you’d like it to be, I would suggest starting with just one or two things instead of the entire day.

Perhaps you can start with something that didn’t go according to plan the previous day. You can visualize staying grounded, firmly anchored in your values, waltzing through the challenge or issue just the way you’d choose to.

To put it simply, act as if. That’s the same as an old African proverb, which is, “when you pray, move your feet.”
