Goals need to be SMART and self imposed. But having someone to nudge me a bit from time-to-time, reminding me why I commited to getting out of bed at 6am for that invigoration run is also very helpful :-) Bringing this idea of 'presentism'to the goal setting conversation is a great call.

Would only high self-esteem people benefit or, are the 2 techniques different enough that self-esteem is simply not a factor when it comes to creative visualization. <br />Thanks. Hi,

Positivity achieves the positive as opposed to negative. I think you will be interested in my book where Sofia's self-affirmation becomes her saving grace. www.strategicbookpublishing.com/LookAfterEachOther.html.<br /> Best wishes, Marilyn Hi,
