About this listen
Most people think imagination is just for kids, artists, or dreamers. But what if the life you're living right now is the product of your imagination—used unconsciously?
In this episode of Simple Healthy Life, we dive deep into the misunderstood power of imagination. From Carl Jung’s technique of active imagination to modern research on the subconscious and default mode network, Ryan and MJ explore how visualization, inner dialogue, and mental habits can shape everything from your mood to your future.
You’ll learn why rumination comes easier than vision, how to train your imagination like a muscle, and why the phrase “I’m just making it up” might be the most important signal you’re doing it right. With stories, science, and practical exercises—like the 3-minute door visualization—this episode is your blueprint for reconnecting with the part of you that still believes in change.
