Stay in your comfortable position and take a few minutes to look through your selected photos. As you look at each one, remember how you felt in that moment. Pay attention to how happy, excited, or satisfied you look and appreciate that feeling. When you’re in this state of admiration it’s hard to see yourself as anything other than who you are. Hold onto this new, enlightened image of yourself as you close your eyes and continue the visualization.
Now, reimagine yourself -but this time in the third person. Perhaps you see the same image as before, but instead of examining yourself, you’re going to meet yourself. Picture your ‘observing self’ as anyone else other than you. You could be a friend, partner, parent, or a nameless stranger. However you envision it, imagine yourself as this person walking up to meet the real you.
When you reach yourself, visualize the person you saw in the pictures. See yourself filled with light, energy, confidence, and power. Don’t focus on how you look or what you’re wearing. Instead, notice the inner beauty that radiates beyond your body. You are greeting yourself not as you, but as a friend or loved one. Someone who sees beyond your exterior to who you truly are inside. This is your true impression.
