Visualization

Visualization is a powerful technique that is used by elite athletes and other performers. When you visualize an experience, areas of our brain actually go through some of the motions used when actually acting out that behavior.

To use the power of visualization simply imagine yourself encountering a nisyanon, and then successfully resisting the temptation. This can help increase the chances that you’ll be successful with real nisyonos.

You can also use the power of visualization to increase your motivation. Each night before going to sleep, visualize yourself having successfully broken your habit. See yourself no longer controlled by those old thoughts and feelings. See yourself as empowered and freed from the control of old patterns. Imagine how good that would feel!
