How to Optimize the Awesome Power of Thoughts and Imagination
Have you encountered a time when you were in a traffic jam and
was running late for an important meeting? Did you stay calm
and focused? Or did your mind wander into the dark side of
the impending consequences that may occur? If you're always picturing people getting mad at you and
thinking of negative outcomes, then your body suffers as well.
You may experience chest pains, anxiety disorders, indigestion,
and other health problems. Why worry when you can't do anything
about the situation? Moreover, you don't even know yet what
will happen. Both good and bad things happen unexpectedly.
Why bother to worry? It's just not worth it. Your mind directly influences your body's capabilities and
reactions; so if you always project negative thoughts and
images in your mind, your body suffers as well. But if you
always think of positive and enthusiastic stuffs, your body
will react positively too. The mind is an absolute powerhouse, a dream granter, and
goal achiever, all rolled into one. But do you know how to
optimize it for best performance? Many times we've heard people say that "If you think you can
or you can't, you're right." That is so true. But do you know exactly how to use your
thoughts in reaching what you desire to achieve? They say affirmations work. Yes, they do. But the results
might be minimal and might not turn out according to your
expectations. Do you want to know a method that is much more powerful? What
I'm going to tell you is a technique that is so effective in
itself; that if you combine it with affirmations, then you
possess one of the deadliest combos of self-improvement. Want to know the secret? Here it is. Visualize images. It's as simple as that. Our mind
communicates with our body using images. You know that the
thought of people getting angry with you can negatively
affect your health. Otherwise, picturing yourself relaxing
at your favorite vacation spot can ease some of your stress. Take this exercise. Imagine the juiciest whole piece of fried chicken right in
front of you. You can smell its tempting aroma. You sliced
it into pieces and heard the crispy crunching sound. Picture
yourself taking a large bite and enjoying the gastronomic
experience. Did that made your mouth water? Did that made
you hungry? Images are very powerful and can be used to improve your
health, attain your goals, and achieve anything that you
put your mind into. For instance, you're a burn victim. You have a wound that
is quite agonizing. Don't just say, "Hey, burn wound. Get
out of my skin." Picture it in your mind getting smaller and
smaller. Visualize it melting and vanishing into thin air. You may imagine the wound itself healing miraculously, or you
may designate any object of your choice to represent that
wound. For example, you visualize a black stone as a symbol
of your illness. Imagine that object shrinking and
disintegrating slowly. As you're thinking of this, feel
your wound and all negative forces simultaneously going
along with the action of the black stone. Let them become
smaller and smaller until they have ceased to exist. So which technique is better - imagining the real thing or
assigning a representational object to it? It all depends
on you. Pick and apply the method that you are more
comfortable with, the one that you are more inclined to
think and visualize upon. But it's not as easy as you think. Practice makes perfect.
One way you can optimize the power of imagination is by
becoming more observant and meticulous. If you're going
to use a certain flower in your visualization, go to the
park and become a keen observer of that flower. Touch it.
Smell it. Feel its texture. The more senses involved, the
more powerful your visualization will become. Visualization can be a very powerful tool in getting what
you want in life. Practice and apply it often. You'll be
amazed at the results. Michael Lee is the author of "How To Be A Red Hot Persuasion
