To achieve, you have to believe. It's that simple. If you can't picture yourself doing something difficult or challenging, you won't, because you won't have confidence in yourself. This book offers readers ten proven-effective skills for developing the confidence they need to turn their dreams into reality through the use of guided imagery. The guided imagery process couldn't be simpler or more powerful: whatever it is that you want to achieve, you develop a rich picture of it happening in your mind. Research proves that visualization stimulates the brain in many the same ways as actual experience. By visualizing you prepare yourself to experience your goal, developing self-confidence and conviction as you go. Readers will gain renewed optimism, learn anti-worry strategies, and use their imagination to foster mental calmness they need to feel confident, poised and assured. The mind-body techniques in the book include guided imagery, meditation, creative visualization and personal rituals and exercises.
