Visualize a More Confident, Capable You To achieve, you have to believe. It's that simple. If you can picture yourself doing something difficult or challenging, you'll have a better chance of making it happen because you'll have confidence in your ability to succeed. This book offers you proven-effective skills for developing the confidence you need to turn your dreams into reality through the use of guided imagery. The guided imagery process couldn't be simpler or more powerful: you develop a rich picture in your mind of whatever it is that you want to happen. Research suggests that visualization stimulates the brain in many of the same ways as actual experience. When you visualize, you prepare yourself to experience your goal, developing self-confidence and conviction as you go. You'll gain renewed optimism, learn anti-worry strategies, and use your imagination to foster the calm and poise you need to feel confident, competent, and assured. The mind-body techniques in the book include guided imagery, meditation, creative visualization, and personal rituals and exercises.

"I wish to invite you to the consideration of a great principle of Nature—a great natural force that manifests its activities in the phenomena of Dynamic Mentation—a great Something the energies of which I have called MIND-POWER." My thought on the subject is based upon the fundamental conception that THERE EXISTS IN NATURE A DYNAMIC MENTAL PRINCIPLE—A MIND-POWER—PERVADING ALL SPACE—IMMANENT IN ALL THINGS—MANIFESTING IN AN INFINITE VARIETY OF FORMS, DEGREES, AND PHASES. I hold that this energy, or force, or dynamic principle, is no respecter of persons. Its service, like that of the sun and rain, and all natural forces, is open to all—just and unjust; good and bad; high and low; rich and poor. It responds to the proper efforts, no matter by whom exerted, or for what purpose called into effect. But the proper effort must be exerted, consciously or unconsciously, else there will be no operation of the force." - William Walker Atkinson William Walker Atkinson (1862-1932) was a prolific writer. His works treat themes related to the mental world, occultism, divination, psychic reality, and mankind's nature. They constitute a basis for what Atkinson called "New Psychology" or "New Thought".
As a career counsellor, I have met thousands of people throughout the course of my life. I’ve seen extremely successful people lead their lives as if they were born to rule the world. They knew what they wanted to do. And they went after it with everything they had, heart, mind and soul. There’s one characteristic that sets successful people apart from others. Makes them stand out like lions amidst a herd of sheep. It’s easy to spot them, thanks to that unmistakable aura. What is that quality? I’ve had many people write to me. They express their fears, lack of self-esteem. They tell me how they shiver at the thought of addressing people. Whether it’s a public speech or a social gathering, fear grips them and prevents them from doing anything else. Some of my friends also have the same problem. Not that they don’t work hard. No. They give everything they have. Yet, they struggle to become successful. So, what is that quality that separates successful people from others? You guessed it. It’s confidence. I’ve observed that most people are willing to work and give it their best shot, but they lack confidence. What exactly is confidence, though? Is it some mysterious secret you can’t possess? And why is it so hard to gain confidence especially when you need it the most? Well, confidence is a momentary emotion of clarity, certainty and control. Clarity of your thoughts, control over your mind, body and actions, and certainty for performance followed by commitment to your goal. Confidence is derived from “fidere” – from Latin, which means “trust”. Simply put, confidence is about trusting yourself. Then why does that trust waver at times? Because confidence is not permanent. It’s a momentary strength that needs to be practiced. There are several techniques, scientific and creative to do that. And, this book will reveal 101 ways to do it
