Positive thinking
Description:
The person seeking to achieve some desired end holds in his or her mind a clear picture of the desired result, as though the process of achieving this result had already been carried out. This has been demonstrated to bring successful results in a wide variety of areas, notably in self-improvement. Creative visualization, in particular, not only assists in bringing to one's attention the factors necessary for success, but is also said to create a harmonious situation where opportunities seem to arise with unusual frequency. It is practised regularly in a non-stressful environment, such as during meditation or prayer, and may include calling on the assistance of a higher power. The individual may make, repeat, write down and contemplate affirmative statements until they become part of consciousness. This positive attitude or energy attracts more to itself.Broader:
