'When Feeling Low And Nothing Seems To Work'

Here is an immediate visualization drill you will be able to execute when you detect yourself feeling negative and critical about yourself, and nothing you do appears to be working. If you apply this on a constant basis, it will release you from the negative images straightaway, and prevent them from spiraling out of control into a lasting ailment.

Start out by picturing yourself as though you were standing or sitting externally to yourself. As though you were side by side to yourself, observing yourself as you sit at the computer. Make it elaborate – determine the color of the clothes you’re wearing, the color of your hair, your stance, the look on your face.
Overlook any “defects” in yourself that you might usually find. Now loosen up, unwind, and feel tranquil as you observe yourself.
Play with this image a little, possibly placing the soundtrack of a tune you enjoy in the setting (in your mind, that is), possibly modifying a few of the colors.

Make it a really pleasant scene. Envision yourself quietly grinning. Only see your perceived positive traits, and discount the negative ones. Proceed to amplify your positive side. In every day living, you probably find defects in yourself and exaggerate them out of all proportion in your head. Now do the equivalent thing on your positive traits. Blow them out of all proportion and concentrate on them. Just go with the course and play with the image till you are as good as it gets.

Next, compare your present impression of yourself with the first image you made at the commencement of this exercise. Make the concluding image more potent. Notice the differences in the way you’re feeling presently, compared to when you began. Hold the fresh image as the one you’d wish to see yourself as. Practice and play around with this drill whenever you find the opportunity, or whenever you are feeling particularly weighed down and would like to buoy up up a little. This is an uncomplicated and helpful way to make yourself feel better.
