“Reflect for a moment on how you want to feel as you work. Now imagine feeling this way. • Reflect on the state of mind you want to sustain throughout the day. Imagine yourself achieving this state of mind. • Reflect on how you want to be with your coworkers. Imagine relating to people in this way. • How do you want your brain to perform as you work? Imagine performing at the top of your game. • How do you want to feel physically each and every day? Imagine feeling this way. • Reflect on how you want to be with your loved ones at the end of the day. Imagine being this way at home.”
