Calm Yourself with Visualization

The purpose of visualization is to help you to quickly clear mental stress, tension, and anxious thinking. Visualizations (picturing something in your mind) can be used when feeling stressed or uneasy and is particularly useful when your mind is racing with fearful, anxious thinking.

This visualization process is an excellent way to find answers and solutions within yourself, as well as just a way to calm down.



Here are some ways to start:
  • One way is to use a recorded voice guided meditation to help you visualize the changes you want to make or just to learn to be calm.
  • Another way is to play music and notice where your mind takes you. Then ask yourself how this applies to what you desire.
  • A third way is to picture yourself doing what you truly love. Then image how you are feeling within this new picture.
 Here's a link to music and spoken guided meditations that you can sample and download
