GUESS WHAT. ALL PEOPLE HAVE THEIR NEGATIVE MOMENTS IN FACE OF FRUSTRATION AND DOUBT. NONE OF US ARE THE LONE RANGER.

Trying to erase a negative head on is not a reliable way to try and change ourselves because that focuses on the negative. If we want to sell our products we don' focus on why people will not buy. We focus on why people do buy. If I find myself constantly arguing with my mother-in-law, I'd be better off being nice to her in positive ways. If I want to get those things done that WA teaches, maybe, I should prioritize, focus and get them done.

The practice I'm approaching here is called Visual Imagery. It is proven to work extremely well in changing our negatives to positive action.

You want to achieve something but never seem to quite make it. Sit down and run a movie in your head of having reached one of your WA goals. Maybe you want to build an awesome website.being attentive to what would be required. You are the director, the main character, the script writer. Imagine what that movie would look like. How does it feel? Imagine and believe yourself as success in action. This places you in the process of actively changing a negative self-belief and setting yourself up as a success.

You want to be assertive (not aggressive) with an annoying customer service rep over the phone. What would the reviews on that movie be like? HOLLYWOOD, STAND ASIDE!

HERE IS WHY VISUAL IMAGERY WORKS.

You are in the process of changing your belief. All human behavior follows what we believe. Our new behavior reinforces the new belief which in turn reinforces the wanted behavior. "Look at me! I know I can do this thing because I just did it. The evidence is right here."

Your belief has changed, therefore, your behavior has changed Negatives give us reasons not to believe. "I can and will to do it" motivates action and achievement. Doing Visual Imagery yourself will give you evidence that it actually does work in practice.

Give it 21 days of perseverance and voila! Got a habit you have been trying to break? Try visual Imagery. It's not magic. It's training the subconscious. - Al Hurley
