sand by the ocean . Take some time to imagine all the beautiful details , and see yourself fully enjoying and appreciating your surroundings . Now begin to walk , and soon find yourself in some totally different surrounding environment , perhaps exploring a waving field of golden grain , or swimming in a lake .
Continue to wander and explore — finding more and more exquisitely beautiful environments of great variety — mountains , forests , deserts , whatever suits your fantasy .
Take a little time to appreciate each one .
Now imagine returning home to a simple but comfortable and lovely environment , whatever would most suit you . Imagine having loving family , friends , and community around you . Visualize yourself doing work that you love , and expressing yourself creatively in ways that feel just right for you . You are being amply rewarded for your efforts , in internal satisfaction , appreciation from others , and financial return . Imagine yourself feeling fulfilled and thoroughly enjoying your life . Step back , and see if you can imagine a world full of people living simply yet abundantly , in harmony with one another and the earth .
