How to Coach Yourself and Others Techniques For Coaching | Page 460

others prefer the mountains in a snowstorm! Use your
imagination and treat yourself to visualizations that bring you
maximum relaxation and positive feeling.
You might like to explore the use of aromatherapy oils. They can
be worn or burned in a special burner to gently fill the air and
stimulate the senses to create positive and soothing feelings,
which can greatly enhance the power of visualizations.
It's important to visualize with as much detail and using as many
senses as possible. For example, if you want a new car, specify
the kind in detail, see yourself driving the car, feel the steering
wheel and be aware of the instrument panel, the texture of the
seats and everything else about it that you want.
Visualization should be done regularly and may be consistently
reinforced if done either first thing in the morning or last thing at
night. You may wish to make your own audiotape. If you don't
like your own voice, ask someone else to make a tape for you.
Visualization is a powerful process and can overcome past
negative programming.
It's time to relax and enjoy the mental creation of your goals. In
taking that short time to relax and trust that your right brain is
doing the hard work, you will find that the benefits are that when
you return to this manual, your mind will be more alert, clear,
and the flow of good ideas should come more easily.
