begin using daily affirmations to visualize a better life—you create a form of mental tension that your brain will do everything in its power to resolve by actually creating the better, more desirable lifestyle for you!
Psychologist Leon Festinger, author of A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, compares this process to how your brain reacts when you’re hungry: It sends signals to your body to eat. In other words, it causes you to take necessary steps to resolve your hunger. In the same way, when you begin using affirmations to visualize your exciting new future with compelling pictures and emotions, your brain will likewise cause you to take those steps necessary to bring about that exciting new future.
Bombarding your brain with thoughts of a better life through daily visualization and verbalization will actually force your brain to resolve the cognitive dissonance it dislikes. Affirmations are those highly visual and emotionally compelling statements you can use daily to visualize a better life.
