How To Imprint Your Goals


By Dr. Robert Anthony
Deciding to change a habit, attitude or personal
situation does not automatically bring about the
change desired. The decision to make the change
is only the first step. Further action is
required in order to effect a change in your
subconscious self-image. You have learned that
your goal is the mental picture of what you
want.

When you write down the goal, it becomes an


affirmation.
The process of doing this is called Imprinting
Imprinting is the deliberate control of thoughts
and pictures of the kind of changes we want to
make. The imprinting occurs when our
subconscious mind accepts the new visual image
of the end result. Imprinting is a three-step
process:
1. You affirm your goal. 2. You picture the end
result. 3. You feel the emotion that goes along
with accomplishing the goal.
Let's talk about each step so that we are
absolutely clear on the procedure.
Step 1 - Affirm Your Goal
An affirmation is simply a statement of fact or
belief that is written out in a personal,
positive, present tense form as though the goal
were already a reality. When you write out your
affirmations, you deliberately control the
programming of your subconscious by directing
the visual picture to the end result you want.
Step 2 - Picture the End Result
Picture and experience in your mind the
accomplishment of the end result. See yourself

actively involved in the accomplishment. This is


called constructive synthetic visualization or
virtual reality. It works on the theory of
displacement. You are displacing the old picture
and old self-image with the new. Remember - you
will move toward the goal that you picture.
Step 3 - Feel the Emotion That Goes Along with
Accomplishment
The subconscious responds to feelings more than
to words. It doesnt respond any better to
positive feelings than to negative feelings. It
just responds to feelings. The more emotion or
feeling we can put behind an idea, the faster it
will manifest. So feeling and emotion are very
important for impact. It can be said that our
affirmation will manifest in direct proportion
to the frequency with which we use picturing and
emotional involvement. What you want to do is
see to yourself accomplishing the end result
while feeling the joy and satisfaction of the
accomplishment.
All three steps are necessary for successful
imprinting. If you just read your affirmations
you can expect about a 10% success rate. If you
read and visualize the end result, you can
expect about a 55% success rate.

If you read your affirmations, picture the end


result, and feel the emotion behind the
accomplishment of what you are picturing, you
can expect a 100 % success rate!
