Audrey Sutherland’s helpful visualization exercise.

‘Close your eyes. Sit very quietly for a minute. Imagine that you were just given five million dollars. Now think what you would do if you had that five million dollars.’ After a pause, she would say, ‘I want you to open your eyes and think what is stopping you from doing those same things without the five million.’

– Audrey Sutherland
