Creative visualization process is a very powerful tool for improving our lives but, without proper understanding it is of little or no use at all.
If we really need to learn the proper way to visualize then the best teachers for us would be kids, because they actually understand the true purpose behind visualization – It is not something that we have to do as a task in order to manifest our desires, but the basic use of visualization is to “feel good”, and when one succeeds to be happy in the present moment with respect to what he desires, amazing things happen.
When we use creative visualization to feel positive emotions as if our dreams have already come true then only we will be able to move in the right direction.

2 – Magnify Your Good Feelings
Meditation will raise your vibrational frequency which makes it easy for you to choose better thoughts in order to increase your positive feelings; however you must do something to enhance this emotional state.
Magnify your good feelings by doing something that you love, it could be a nature walk, fun time with kids, playing with your pet or anything that makes you more joyful.

The list for planning would be something like this – the attire you are wearing, the car, your friends, people admiring you, a beautiful garden etc.
Once you have made the list don’t think about it again, or you will force them in your visualization and make it complicated. So, always remember to keep it free flowing and simple.
4 – Fill Yourself with Gratitude
This step is the key one, take out your gratitude journal or just recall the instances in your mind from the present day or recent past for which you are grateful.
Big or small, write down as many things you can for which you are truly grateful. This should bring genuine feelings of gratitude in you otherwise it is of no use.
In case you don’t find anything to be grateful of, then it indicates that your emotional state is not well, so try some other methods to improve your emotional health first.

A light music in the background or your favorite song, the preference is
Gratitude is a gift that the earth urgently needs. Consistent gratitude is a form of recognition of the gift and the giver. Daily gratitude can help eliminate the need for more and practicing more of only what we need. Gratitude leads to a society of contentment rather than one that's always in need of more. We human individuals have conventions for appreciation; we apply them formally to each other. We say thank you. “We understand that receiving a gift

In essence, the process helps in realization of one’s full potential to handle all issues in life.

Mindfulness meditation is a growth of person`s perception at the present time and some people think is a unique way to overcome anxiety and discover greater wisdom in our minds. A person who practices this meditation tries to get rid of any unwanted thoughts, concentrate on present ones, focus on attention and breathing. Some contemporary psychotherapists suggest that we can train our mind by practicing mindfulness meditation. Often almost all people catch themselves on thoughts that transfers from the present to the past and future. This is called mind wandering. This can be very distracting when a person tries to focus on certain task. Naturally, people who experience less mind wandering demonstrated greater mindfulness, and previous studies showed that practicing mindfulness meditation even for eight minutes can increase and mind wandering will decrease (Hafenbrack, 2013).
When one thinks of meditation, what comes to mind? Does one think of group of 1970’s hippies sitting in a circle singing about peace? How about relaxing music being played? How about trying to form one’s body into a pretzel-like shape? What if meditation has nothing to do with the background music being played or what position one’s body is in? Meditation is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “the act or process of spending time in quiet thought” (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meditation). Meditation is just simply sitting in a quiet room and thinking about one’s life. The act of meditating is much simpler than many people think. Through deep concentration and relaxation, meditation becomes an altered state of consciousness.
For thousands of years people have practiced mediation for spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Albeit there are many mediation types, in this paper I will be discussing and focusing on mindfulness mediation. Before further exploring mindfulness mediation, it is crucial to define mediation as a whole. Tang, Holzel, & Posner, 2016 state “Meditation can be defined as a form of mental training that aims to improve an individual’s core psychological capacities, such as attentional and emotional capacities” (p.213). Having that in mind, we can dive into mindfulness mediation. Mindfulness meditation is defined as “nonjudgmental attention to present-moment experiences (Tang, Holzel, & Posner, 2016).” A useful analogy to consider is going to the gym, going to the gym allows one to enhance the body, well similarly, practicing mindfulness is akin to taking the mind to the psychic gym, it enhances it. Mindfulness meditation involves focusing on your breathing and then bringing your mind’s attention to the present all while dismissing discursive thoughts and maintaining a special focus on breathing.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and be thankful for what others do for you. According to Randy Pausch,’’ Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other ”.

The first two actions of gratitude I chose are to “Consider how much an animal makes you happy” and “read a story then write a poem about gratitude”. No joy can compare to the happiness I feel in the presence of my dog. A dog can offer companionship. Zoey does the same, and so much more. For a dog as wholesome as Zoey I am grateful. I read the short story With a Heart of Gratitude. It tells the story of a blind boy begging for money with a sign that said “I am blind” but each day he never received much money in his hat. When one day a stranger rewrote on his sign “It is a beautiful day and I cannot see it” and his hat started to fill up. This story showed me how we as people should be grateful for the things that we don’t have. When the boy
