Notice any positive feelings you feel as you imagine having attained your goal and imagine that you have a control knob that you can turn up to amplify that feeling. Fill yourself to whatever level is pleasurable with that positive feeling as you imagine yourself achieving the goal, and taking the steps necessary to do that. By matching the images with the powerful positive feeling, you will help to motivate yourself along the way. All great athletes, performers, musicians, mathematicians, scientists and business people use imagery to explore their options, improve their technique, learn new skills, motivate themselves toward goal achievement, work through blocks to success and increase their ability to enjoy and contribute. Imagery skills from relaxation through goal setting, from performance enhancement to finding meaning in life can be learned at any age, either from self-care books and tapes, classes, or individual work with a trained imagery guide.
Imagination is the navigational tool of the self.
