To create a mental image or visualization, use these steps.
Step 1: Close your eyes and think of the goal of the visualization, e.g., to practice a new behavior or skill, to change a mood, to reinforce a positive behavior, or to assign a negative image to old cues.
Step 2: Picture the positive outcome after your goal is achieved.
Step 3: Put yourself in the picture and begin to experience the image in three dimensions. a) How do you look? Thin, happy, skillful, talented, on target, proud. b) How do you feel? Happy, excited, satisfied, competent, at ease, relaxed, "with it." c) How is your body reacting? Relaxed, appropriate, athletic, responsive, skillful, taut, strong, graceful.
Step 4: Picture how others react to you in this imagined activity, e.g., are they rewarding you, reinforcing you, complimenting you, thanking you, accepting you, asking you for a date?
Step 5: Picture how you react to the others' response, e.g., excited, appreciated, thankful, grateful, pleased, accepted, accomplished, a winner.
Step 6: Open your eyes slowly once you feel like a winner. Commit yourself to practicing this mental image until it becomes a reality for you. Remember, to become a winner takes patience, persistence, and commitment to change.

Based on the Law of Attraction, the overall premise of The Secret is simple: You can get what you truly feel about. It’s not just thinking about something; you need to envision the results exactly as you would like them to be—and then watch them happen. In this full-color companion to The Secret DVD, Rhonda Byrne discusses its role in the work of some of our most successful teachers including Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, and Michael Bernard Beckwith. All of them share stories of success ranging from eradicating disease and overcoming obstacles to acquiring wealth and achieving what most would consider the impossible.
