MAKING THINGS MOVE

omharmonics.com
Your image need not be a static scene. It can change and move. You may, for example:
1.     Imagine a sports event that you enjoy. It could be a baseball game that you attended. Or make one up. Mentally follow the plays as you work your way through the innings. Not a baseball fan? Try imagining a tennis match
2. Try replaying favorite movies in your mind, visualizing different scenes and filling in bits of dialogue. Scenic movies work wonderfully.
3. Remember the details of a trip you’ve taken and retrace your journey from place to place.

This guided imagery, as it’s called, can help keep you focused and interested in your image and ensure that unwanted, intrusive thoughts stay out of the picture.
