Can you use your imagination to change your life?
Yes. 

How?
Begin with imagining your ideal life. 

What does it look like?
How does it feel?

Take time to imagine it.

By dwelling in your imagination you are planting seeds of those images, which can manifest if you continually “water” it.

When other thoughts creep in, quickly remind yourself of the life you want. Focus on that and it has no choice but to manifest.
