Build a Habit Visualization
Now let’s start a visualization exercise that will allow you to imagine building a new
habit, sustaining it until it becomes second nature, and enjoying the benefits from it. Stay
still and close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Relax.
Think about the habit you want to develop. Think about why you want the change. Be
clear about your true intentions.
Think about others who have the said habit. Make them your role models.
Now, visualize yourself having such a habit. Think about how it shapes your attitude,
behavior, well-being, and life in general.
Trust in yourself that you can. Trust in your intentions. Your intentions are always good.
Trust them.
