Close your eyes and form a mental picture or image of what you want to achieve. Look through the lens of your imagination, and see your wish unfold within your mind’s eye. Your mind has creative power way beyond mere positive thinking. If you can imagine it, you can create it. Such a bold statement seems presumptuous until we examine the process, called “visualization,” or “imaging,” and discover that this statement is not so way-out after all.

There is a proven and direct link between your body and your mind. Even if you are doing all the right things, you could be hampering your progress if you’re not visualizing what you want to achieve or if what you’re imagining is contrary to what you desire. When you mentally see your desire as reality, your mind and body will align.
