How
to Imprint Your Goals
By
Dr. Robert Anthony

Deciding to change a habit, attitude or personal situation does not automatically
bring about the change desired. The decision to make the change is only
the first step. Further action is required in order to effect a change
in your subconscious self-image. You have learned that your goal is the
mental picture of what you want. When you write down the goal, it becomes
an affirmation.
The process of doing this is called “Imprinting”. Imprinting
is the deliberate control of thoughts and pictures of the kind of changes
we want to make. The imprinting occurs when our subconscious mind accepts
the new visual image of the end result. Imprinting is a three-step process:
1. You affirm your goal.
2. You picture the end result.
3. You feel the emotion that goes along with accomplishing the goal.
Let's talk about each step so that we are absolutely clear on the procedure.
Step 1 - Affirm Your Goal
An affirmation is simply a statement of fact or belief that is written
out in a personal, positive, present tense form as though the goal were
already a reality. When you write out your affirmations, you deliberately
control the programming of your subconscious by directing the visual picture
to the end result you want.
Step 2 - Picture the End Result
Picture and experience in your mind the accomplishment of the end result.
See yourself actively involved in the accomplishment. This is called constructive
“synthetic visualization” or “virtual reality”. It
works on the theory of displacement. You are displacing the old picture
and old self-image with the new. Remember - you will move toward the goal
that you picture.
Step 3 - Feel the Emotion That Goes Along with Accomplishment
The subconscious responds to feelings more than to words. It doesn’t
respond any better to positive feelings than to negative feelings. It
just responds to feelings. The more emotion or feeling we can put behind
an idea, the faster it will manifest. So feeling and emotion are very
important for impact. It can be said that our affirmation will manifest
in direct proportion to the frequency with which we use picturing and
emotional involvement. What you want to do is see to yourself accomplishing
the end result while feeling the joy and satisfaction of the accomplishment.
All three steps are necessary for successful imprinting. If you just read
your affirmations you can expect about a 10% success rate. If you read
and visualize the end result, you can expect about a 55% success rate.
If you read your affirmations, picture the end result, and feel the emotion
behind the accomplishment of what you are picturing, you can expect a
100 % success rate!
