Techniques to be employed

THOUGHTS are the tools. Therefore an inbuilt positive frame of mind is compulsorily needed to bring quick changes.

Use AUTOSUGGESTION technique to take the advantage of the nature of subconscious mind such as

a) Which is unable to differentiate whether an incident has been actually performed or performed in the mind’s screen

b) Which is capable of doing deductive reasoning and not inductive reasoning that is accepts suggestions in literal meaning.

Use TRANSFERENCE technique by which emotions are satisfied by shifting it from one person to other.

One should have a very distinct and vivid picture of one’s “future self” ie VISUALIZE one’s goal in every minute details.
