 |  Visualization in the present moment
I read an article from steve stating that we shouldnt visualize something we'd like in the future but visualize that desire as though we have it at the moment, present moment. I dont understand how to go about this. How do we visualize something like having that girl you like... in the present moment?

thx lauxa for that quote... so let's say i'm sitting in front of the computer typing this message which is the present moment. I desire this girl. So according to steve, if I wanted to visualize in the moment I'd have to visual myself in an alternate reality sitting in front of the computer with thoughts of 'already in a relationship with this girl and being happy with her'. Is this what he means by present moment visualization? Instead of thinking about possible scenerios I could have with this girl, I visualize the situation im presently in (which is sitting in front of the computer) and then have that 'alternate me' know in his head the fact im in a relationship with the girl i desire. |

This article is about building up positive feelings until you are inspired to take action. It talks about taking time to sit still and do visualizations, so you can put yourself and the girl in any scenario you would like.

but steve mentions that visualization should be in the present. I dont quite understand how to visualize in the present. I usually visualize scenerios in the distant future such as being outside at a park with this girl and talking while in reality im sitting in front of a computer with my eyes closed visualizing that scenerio.
