Your Imagination Is a Tool
The idea
Imagination isn't escapism. It's how you rehearse a state your circumstances haven't confirmed yet.
The reframe
You're not making it up. You're deciding what to practise feeling.
The practice
Eyes closed, 60 seconds. Not the scene, the feeling in your chest if it were already ordinary.
The question
What feeling were you really after?
Real life experiment
Carry that feeling into one ordinary task today.
Now close the app. That bit's important.
