Today I want to talk to you about two terms that seem to be the same but they are actually very different and they get some people confused What’s the difference between daydreaming and visualization? They sound pretty similar. Right?
You may be thinking: wow, I wanna have this beautiful car and i’m just gonna think about it so I can manifest it in my life. But, should you dreaming about it or should you just be visualizing?
What’s really the difference between them? Let’s talk about daydreaming
I want you to take into account that when you are daydreaming is a little bit like a game and is in a way unconscious and more than likely what you are dreaming about is so out there that is something that is never gonna represent in your actual real life.
For example you can be daydreaming that you are inside a cartoon for example. Daydreaming happens maybe when you are bored, it happens like an escape for something. Let’s say you’re in a meeting and it’s truly boring or you are taking a class and it doesn’t spark your interest. All of a sudden your mind just goes somewhere else because you need to disconnect.
So you are usually super bored. Daydreaming happens a lot when somebody’s talking and you’re not even paying attention anymore. You lost track of whatever they were saying because you are truly not interested. All of a sudden you start thinking about something else, such as: wouldn’t it be nice if i will have a dog? and wouldn’t it be nice if my dog was wearing this like cute costume that i saw at the store for Halloween?
How your mind behaves
Is as if your mind goes places because you are just playing around. There’s really no intention behind it other than to just a disconnect from current reality so you can recharge. Ans just like you went somewhere else and you disconnected, all of a sudden, boom, you come back and you’re back in that meeting, you’re back in that class and life goes on and more than likely you are never gonna think about this thing ever again. This thought just goes to the back of your mind now. It was something for you to just disconnect, have a little break from reality. It was playful, it was nice but that’s about it. That’s all that is going to do for you. With daydreaming you let your imagination just run wild because you’re trying to have this little escape from your current duty or reality.
Sometimes you’re not even like you know in a minute or a class or something that is just boring maybe you’re just at home and you are just taking a look at the ceiling and you start thinking about these random things and there’s no intention behind it other than to have a break from your current situation.
Will you go after these things that you are daydreaming about? Sometimes you may but more than likely it’s just like a random thought that is coming to you.
What about visualization?
With visualization what you are doing is applying a technique where you have an intention. You can truly see in your mind what you are trying to gt or achieve. Some people have trouble visualizing, they cannot really see or picture what they are trying to achieve. With visualization more than the visual, more than the picture, what really really counts is the feeling that you have about this. For example, if this little dog that you were dreaming about is something that you really want to bring into your life, more than likely you’ve been thinking about it for a while. More than likely you already have an specific dog in mind, more than likely you really really want to get this dog into your present and your current reality.
This doesn’t happen randomly. You have a clear and sole intention of bringing this into your current reality, into your actual present , so if you are visualizing the dog you are putting an intention into it \. You are in a way telling the universe look this is the plan, that I have. This is what i want to get and you may go even into meditation. Just closing your eyes and thinking about this dog that you want to have. Once that the intention is set, you will be able to manifest it in real life.
I just want to concentrate on the fact that daydreaming and visualization are not the same thing. The most important thing is that with visualization you do have an intention and you do want to bring this thing into real life manifest it in your present.
Final thoughts
Daydreaming is a break from current reality just for fun. Visualization can also be for fun from the act of manifesting, but when you are visualizing you are really planting the seed that you want this thing to actually become real and you actually have feelings attached to it. You are trying to truly make it come true. And more than likely you will, because you are a great creator. We just need to plant that seed, put it out there and let the universe do its magic.
