Visualization has been a bit of a challenge for me. I can do it, it's just that my mind will sometimes only create images it believes it can have. Like I say I want my own apartment, I'll start visualizing, but my mind will at first see a small studio because it thinks that's all I can afford. Or with lots of money, my mind can only see the lottery as being a believable way you can make a ton of cash without "earning" it.

But, it's a skill you can develop. That's why you have to do it everyday to overcome whatever resistance is there and literally imagine what you WANT in your life. It's ok.

Just like when we were kids imagining what we wanted. We had no resistance so it was not unlikely we would literally think we were space aliens for hours at a time.

To me IM means returning to that allowing state, that we had when we were younger and less cynical.
