“Well, that’s not really how I’m feeling; I’m just imagining
it.” Well, I have news for you: You’re ALWAYS just

imagining it. You might as well imagine it at times when

you need it instead of having it happen on accident!

Here’s how to apply this idea:

Write down three states that you’d like to be able to
