Setting the Stage

Action follows thought so verbalizing and visualizing how you would like an event to turn out sets the stage and becomes the outcome. 
For example, if you are dreading the upcoming family get together because your Uncle always talks about inappropriate topics that gets everyone arguing.  Set your desired outcome before you leave for the get together by visualizing and saying "everyone has a great time and there is lots of laughter and great joyful conversations!". 
​Be sure to wipe out any negative thoughts of past experiences.
