You'll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image. For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense. And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense-for example, a romantic memory. What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself. For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself, try changing the tone of voice you use when you speak to yourself.
Some people order themselves around.
The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding. Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated. The possibilities are virtually endless. The important thing to understand is that the way you code your inner world has an impact, and you have quite a bit of control over that coding. You can change it deliberately.
