Ever feel like your brain won’t sit still? That restless energy might be the best tool you’re not using. I, Stephen, open the door to a lifetime of imagination! From bedroom-wide toy battles and homemade radio shows to adult rituals that make real life feel more manageable, kinder, and surprisingly fun.

I trace how mental rehearsal helps before tough meetings and delicate conversations, not as a trick but as a practice for clarity and warmth. I also share the structure that I learnt as a kid who staged elaborate scenes and how that same instinct now underpins serious work: writing better, speaking straighter, and deciding faster. You’ll hear about pacing the house while answering imaginary interview questions, a simple way to stretch thinking and find words when they matter most.

Sleep, too, gets a creative twist. Listen to my walk through of a sensory beach visualisation that quiets the nervous system, then confess a well‑worn Die Hard fantasy that sends me to sleep before the third act. The point isn’t spectacle; it’s familiarity. Returning to a known story signals safety and lets the mind ease off the accelerator. I also talks about loosening self‑censorship in writing, catching ideas on the phone at 2 a.m., and leaning on a partner who welcomes humming, odd laughs and noises, and the all important free‑form thinking.

If you’re looking to turn imagination into a daily habit, this is may be your map too: rehearse before it’s risky, practise where it’s safe, capture ideas when they arrive, and build an environment that applauds your quirks.
