Is it something mainly meant for optimistic people who don’t have a generally pessimistic, depression-prone personality?
I mean I ALWAYS negative visualize, that is my nature, it is called being a worrier, anxious, pessimist type. Except that I cannot accept the worst outcome, it would just make me completely depressed. So I tend to clutch for straws of hope. Example negativity: felt old from 30 on, the feeling of growing out and up from childhood stopped, and it started to feel like marching towards death. Straws of hope: getting more vigorous in my exercise can bring a temporary rejuvenation, but probably from 40-45 on it will only slow the worsening of the body. Frankly positive visualization i..e. hope makes me function better.
I think it is meant for optimistic, desire-driven peope who want more and more and more and cannot feel content with what they have? And it is not so good for pessimistic people who don’t really have any goals of getting more, they are just anxious about losing what they have?
Frankly if I would lose my family, kin, relatives, I would probably end it, there would be no duties left, and no reason to drag on with the tiresome business of living and I would probably never work a job again. I probably would not have the courage to end the life directly, but I would basically become completely reckless, do drugs, pick fights with thugs, would not care anymore because there would be nobody left who needs me. And what would be the use in visualizing that?
