Visualisation In Releasing Emotional Energy
When Oprah Winfrey was interviewed by the legendary US
television reporter Barbara Walters she was asked "What's the
reason you put yourself on the line week after week, year after
year, on the cutting edge of human emotion?" Oprah replied
"Teaching people to take responsibly. I believe the secret to
life is to take responsibility, once people grasp that I believe
everything in their life changes. Once people understand it and
live it, they are at cause for their life rather than living in
effect and in reaction."
Public issues aside most people agree Bill Clinton was a very
charismatic leader. Yet by his own admission in his
autobiography he talks about painful acts in his childhood,
anger and emotion that drove him to a better life. He hit a
level of threshold where he was finally dissatisfied enough with
his life to make changes. He was literally propelled forward to
improve his life, and dream, and apply and learn the tools and
strategies to assist himself and those around him. It's up to us
to make a decision, to release all our negative emotions, to
live in the present and to move into the future with
improvement. The best thing about the past is that it's over.
Make a decision right now to release any old emotion you had
with other people and move forward empowered. Put your shoulders
back. Now stop and do something a little ridiculous. Float way
up in the air in your mind, imagine you're near a big ravine,
put 100 singers down each side and hear them singing now. Hear
the lightning coming down the side of the cliff. Feel the static
electricity in the air. Now imagine a big puma in front of you,
licking its lips. Now step inside the puma, feel the muscles and
the strength and look way down the bottom, way off into the
distance, so small it's barely a speck, way down the bottom of
the cliff is a person or situation you were facing. Hear the
singers sing "Your Butt is Mine". Most of us don't feel good
because we don't do what could be described as "ridiculous
mental conditioning".
Stop now and imagine a room in your mind, walk down the stairs,
as you walk down with each stair releasing negativity and
building up strength. At the bottom is a door. Open it. Inside
is a beautiful garden. Imagine the sight, the sound, the feel
and the smell. And in this garden are some people you need to
meet. You need to have a conversation with them that goes
something along the lines of "I forgive you". You may not be
aware yet of the cords that still connect you to these people.
Now, stop and take two giant blades and drop them down and cut
those cords and see the people fly off into the distance to go
about their own growing. Now feel a pleasant feeling in your
body. Lock this feeling in.
Consciously feel the release. Now visualize in front of you how
you want to be, a more advanced version of you. Filled with
whatever positive emotions. Stop and imagine the qualities you
need. Notice how does this new you look? Notice how his new you
is feeling? Notice how this new you sounds? If you haven't yet
noticed then feel the strength from being around this new you.
Notice how this new you stands and breathes. Now step into this
taking on all the qualities of this new you. Make a commitment
with this deepest part of yourself to take this new you around
with you wherever you go.
What would this new you do? What would this new you stand for?
What would this new you contribute? What would this new you be
interested in? How will this you respond when you get off track?
How will it feel when you live you life at this new standard?
Step into this new you and feel the feelings in your body.
Decide to take your relationships to the next level. People love
to talk about their own interests, learn to cultivate the art of
being a good listener and people will like you - even if you
have to sacrifice some of the conversational enjoyment for
yourself to give to others. Watch the difference in your own
life. People build up rapport with others when they speak at
about the same speed and the same volume.
Consciously dwell on something that makes you feel strong. Clear
your head. Adapt some positive characteristics of a role model.
One of the best ways to gain confidence is to decide to have it.
