Unlocking Your Future: The Power of Positive Imaging
With daily positive affirmation and daily positive visualization practice sessions, you can learn to change your self-image into a "success" self-image and thereby efficiently utilize your built in success mechanism to obtain your dreams.
Understanding the Power of Positive Imaging
Let's start by acknowledging that God provided every living thing with an internal guidance system. Unlike human beings most creatures have no choice in how they use it. They are mostly guided by instinct. But fortunately, you have the freedom to choose.
Since you have a choice, it is your most basic responsibility to provide yourself a Life Vision and goals to achieve while living congruous with a specific code of morals and ethics.
Harnessing Your Internal Guidance System: Creating Your Life Vision
To effectively use your brain to accomplish your Life Vision and any goal in general is to imagine the goal as already in existence. In your mind's eye, conceive the life you want. In your imagination see yourself as you wish to be, living the life you want to live, achieving the goals you want to achieve. Dream about it over and over again. Make it real to you and feel all the attendant emotions. Spend practice time each day reading a self- written paragraph of it, visualizing it as you read. And make certain you are always feeling the emotions you've attached to your vision. This is your future; so, experience the joy of it daily. (This is the KEY to obtaining your dreams.) I repeat the key instruction is to Visualize your dream as though it is current reality, with all the emotional joy of accomplishment. Feel all the emotion of it. Read your movie script and See your mental movie in visual thoughts and feel all the joyous EMOTIONS that will come with the life you desire.
Taking Inspired Action
Trust your mind to find the open paths and guide you toward taking necessary actions to lead you to your dream life.
Trust in God to guide you, open doors of opportunity and send the people, places, ideas, and things into your life as necessary to create your life vision. (You will know when it is for you to follow the things that will make your dream reality.)
Trust yourself to do the work daily and to grow into the dream as a person. (Day by day you fill the shoes of your future self.)
Fundamentally, you possess an internal mechanism for achieving goals, which can respond to your direction. It will achieve what you tell it to--within the limits of your capabilities. (You can improve upon your capabilities, skills, knowledge, etc. However, a realistic rational evaluation of yourself and your interests is necessarily a good idea in order to select the proper goals and dream for you.) Be sure to act on the guidance, and various resources you receive.
Activating Your Success Mechanism
How it works: Your goal-seeking brain looks for direction from your mind and receives it in the form of your thoughts. Some of your thoughts are of your longings. (This is why it's important to seriously consider what they should be for you and design your life with purpose. Remember you get to decide who you are and what you'll do. (Caveat: If you don't make your own choices someone else may do it for you or you may just meander and bebop along the river of life (chance). Neither choice here will provide you with a life of joy and happiness; and neither is good or will provide a productive use of your life.) Anyway, some of your thoughts are your dreams for your future, your desires and longings. These thoughts can now serve to provide you what you most want. To increase your efficiency and effective use of these thoughts, it is helpful to understand that these thoughts contain three components in general. 1.) The idea itself, 2.) The mental image of the idea and 3.) The emotion the image generates. Understanding this give you more capability in selecting thoughts and more control over the ones you select. (More on this concept in the future.) For now just understand that the emotional component is the most powerful of the three.
First you have an idea or concept, and then you create the visual image. Next, you attach emotion to the image. After doing so the emotion serves to continually motivate you to achieve it as well as continually bring the thought and corresponding images to the front of your mind. Thereby always reinforcing it and guiding you toward it. And most importantly, this emotion communicates your image to God. It is now in the form of a prayer. Trust this. Now take this information and do one thing: create a fantastically joyous image with your future thought dreams. Create massive positive emotional attachment to the dream as reality. Think it, dream it, emote it. Make the emotions attached to this image a daily reality for you. Thinking of it with certainty you should bubble over with joy, excitement and enthusiasm as you begin to pursue it. Thank God. Be grateful it is becoming reality. Do the work before you with great joy in your heart. Stay the course and if God willing it will become your reality.
