And one of Edward's talks that really resonated with me was the idea of walking in your imagination as though all of your needs have been met.

How would you move through the world if you gave yourself fulfillment?

If you never felt like you were desperately wanting or needing anything, If you feel unloved, you give yourself love, if you feel sad, you give yourself comfort.

So, I've been going on my hot girl walks in the morning and practicing this.

How would I move if I were already happily married?

How would I stand if my career was already where I wanted to be and how would I interact with people if I was financially liberated and could creatively do anything that I wanted and when I'm in this state of fulfillment of giving myself everything I want in my imagination, I show up to every situation more open, present and receptive.

I know some of you are thinking, well, if I embody this delusional state, how would I get anything done?

Wouldn't I just be lazy?

How would I stay hungry?

But what actually happens is if you legit give yourself everything you want mentally and you feel that resonate emotionally, you will end up creating that for yourself in your physical reality.

So if I already feel loved, I'm going to meet everyone with love, which will expose me to new people, make me feel more approachable and bring more love into my life.

If I already feel successful, my attitude in meetings is more confident.

My habits lean towards those of my idea of a successful person, which then begets more opportunities.

If I already feel healthy and vital, I'm going to take actions that coincide with those below, whether it's making better choices in my diet or going to the gym more often.

Look, I really encourage everyone to try this exercise because honestly, the worst thing that could happen is that you feel good?

Oh no!

What a horrible side effect using your imagination to give yourself what you lack and then feeling good for a hot second.

Oh no!

Oh, and then maybe you got some steps in if you did it during your little hot girl walk, I'm so sorry, but what I love most about this exercise is that if you can make this your default state, which I'm not gonna lie, that would take a lot of conscious work.

I'm not there yet.

But if you can make this your default state fulfilled more often than not, your life changes immediately.

So the biggest change is obviously your internal world, right?

Giving yourself inner peace, love, joy, inspiration, all whatever it is that you're seeking outside of yourself when you validate yourself and you give yourself the gift of fulfillment.

You notice this huge shift within yourself and then a corresponding shift in the outer world as it starts responding to you differently.

So I think there's a reason why all of the oldest wisdom in this world asserts that everything we seek is actually within us.

So, for example, if you're a person who struggles in their love life, right?

Think of how deeply you can love another human being.

Think of the ways that you have symptoms so hard for someone.

You know, you've been like a ride or die.

You've been willing to cancel plans, go out of your way, spend any amount of money to make someone else happy, and how desperately you felt like you want them to love you back, Why can't you just give that to yourself?

So I did Alaska for my 33rd birthday and one of the revelations I had was like went into the body of one of my cats lilly who had just passed away, but I was holding her and I went into her body and looked up at myself as lily and I felt the power of the love that anna was giving to me.

And I had this realization of like, why do I ever feel unloved?

If that's how much love that I have to give, that's how much love exists inside of me and all I have to do is redirect it to myself.

So every day, as I do my little hawker walk, I set the intention to give myself the love that I've been seeking from other people and you might be thinking well what does that looks like?

We'll bitch.

I buy myself flowers every week.

I take long luxurious baths, I take myself out on dates.

I wear really nice baby doll.

She misses everything that I'm sort of hoping someone else will do for me to show me that I'm loved, I do it for myself.

I give it to myself so write down all the things that you think you lack, go for a hawker walk and say to yourself, how would I feel if I had X.

Y.

Z.

Give yourself your permission in your imagination To have fun, feel stupid and be delusional and watch your world change.
