Goals & 'Positive Worrying' (Don't Wait For Your Ship. . .)

(4 of 5) A brief introduction to visualization techniques to support goal setting (future desired outcomes). The idea is that we follow what we focus on, in this case, that is succesful outcomes. This is at the heart of 'positive worrying' and mentally rehearsing success rather than failure.

This is adapted from the book 'Don't Wait For Your Ship To Come In. . .Swim Out To Meet It' by Dr Gary Wood (social psychologist, personal coach, broadcaster and author. The book offers a complete course of tools and techniques for positive lasting change. Bringing together the accessibility of pop-psychology with the rigour of academic psychology it offers an end to yo-yo self-helping.For details on the author see: www.myspace.com/drgarywood.
