This is the perfect technique to get you into a peak performance state. It will also help you to overcome anxiety in the kind of pressured situations we all face at different times. If the event that is causing you sleepless nights is something like a flight and you are anxious about flying or you have a big exam, driving test, interview, public performance, speech or whatever, it is good to use this technique every night for two weeks before the big day. Think of it as though you are programming yourself to succeed and every time you do on a date the next day or you have an important meeting in the morning, you can use this the night before to prepare yourself in the best possible way.
Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual. Get yourself comfortable, close your eyes and focus your attention on your breathing technique. Allow your mind and body to relax.
Once you are deeply relaxed and your mind is still, begin to imagine the future situation that is keeping you awake at night and visualise it in a positive light. See it exactly how you want it to be. Imagine you are performing to the best of your ability and are at your absolute best. You are strong, confident, in control, calm and secure. Remember you are programming your mind, which will believe and accept what you are visualising without question. The more positive you make the visualisation, the better you will be on the big day.
Now make the pictures bigger and brighter, and supercharge the pictures by putting your feelings into them. Feel a surge of confidence and self-belief as you run that images in your mind. Believe on every level you are succeeding. Accept this belief unconditionally. Take a moment to enjoy the successful scenario. As you do so, the feelings and images will sink deeply into you unconscious mind and become part of your inner reality. Your unconscious mind will then accept this positive future event as real.
Now you can go to sleep knowing that there is nothing to worry about, as you have just programmed your mind in a very positive way.
Focus on a single goal each night, and if this was something that had been causing you a lot of sleep lessness, use the technique repeatedly night after night with this single goal in mind. Always work on one thing at a time. The key is to use your feelings and make the events as real as you can. Really feeling it is crucial!
This future event visualisation technique will help you work towards any goal successfully. You can even use it for your future more generally, so that you see yourself in several years’ time looking happy, healthy and abundant, with everything as you want it to be. Work on that visualisation for a while and just see how things begin to change for you!
Creating profoundly positive beliefs about your future on a deep, unconscious level can help you in many subtle ways. It can help you to become more intuitive, so you automatically make many more good decisions than bed ones.
Practise this technique often. It is so much more productive than lying awake at night and worrying.
