We all know that each one of us is a big bundle of energy. Our thoughts are a form of that powerful energy. And our thoughts are a mix of negative and positive thoughts. Negative thoughts are the thoughts that negate the good. Ex: “I am incapable of passing the exam”, “I am not good looking”, “My parents do not love me” etc. Positive thoughts are affirmations of good feelings, like; “People love me”, “I can be a leader”, “My friends respect me” etc. Negative thoughts drain all our energy and make us feel weak, whereas, positive thoughts energize us and prod us to move forward in life and achieve things.
For many of us, either of the two modes of thinking is deeply embedded in our personality. And it is found that people with positive thinking attract positive people and negatives attract negatives (much against the laws of physics!). This pattern is very much visible in our relationships. Of course, like about all other rules, this also has exceptions when positive people can form relationship with negative thinking ones and such relationships suffer a lot. So in order to make all our friendships and family relationships pleasant and happy, it is imperative that we cultivate the habit of thinking positively. It requires conscious effort on our part to change all our thoughts into positive mode. Believe me, it is possible.
Creative visualization can be practiced in order to see more and more successes in our life. All you need to do is to select a calm and peaceful place either inside your home or anywhere outside where there is no noise or any kind of disturbance (these days many meditation halls are available). Sit there, relax yourself completely, head to toe. You can keep giving auto suggestions to each part of your body to relax. Take deep breaths – deep inhaling and longer exhaling, all the while concentrating on your breathing. You can even play soothing background music if it can relax you better. As you are breathing, imagine you are deeply inhaling the positive energy present in the universe and exhaling all the negative energy out of your system. And slowly start creating the image of the successful event that you want to experience on your mind’s screen. Have total conviction that it is possible for you to achieve this. Imagine it in all vivid details - the event, the people in it, your excitement in that situation, how enthusiastically you are conversing with all the people around, how they are all reciprocating your joy and happiness etc. Bask in that glory for some time. And slowly wind up your creative visualization to its conclusion, take deeper and slower breaths and slowly open your eyes and bathe in that positive aura surrounding you for a little while more. And then get up and go about with your routine activities. Practice this at least once a day for about 15 minutes (more number of times would be more beneficial in attuning your mind to positive mode of thinking). You will very soon achieve success in your endeavour.

This exercise can also be utilized even to forget the past bitter events in our life and to practice forgiveness.

I would like to share my views on this. I watched a documentary on National Geographic Channel a very long time back and it was related to Creative Visualization.
There was a young gymnast who was preparing to get into the Olympics... she was being trained by her coach. To get qualified she had to perform a particular tough act. She tried this for a long time but in vain. Then her coach told her to visualize the entire process of her successfully completing the act which she did! Then the young girl tried again .... SUCCESS...... she completed the act with perfection! And did get qualified which was a dream come true!
What happens in our brain when we visualize is that the path way is laid down by the neurons. So when we happen to perform the same action it become much easier and is faster. You can think of it as internet cookies that store some basic info when we browse the web pages and which helps to display the page faster!
welcome. thank you, carpe diem, for that additional input on how exactly this works in our brain.
i forgot to add that if a person is incapable of constructing such an image himself/ herself, s/he can request someone to sit with him/her and narrate the required event in all details so that the person can imagine it in the mind with the help of the other person's narration. this is the way relaxation technique works when a leader instructs the whole group to relax, muscle by muscle, head to toe and it can be practiced as a group exercise / group therapy.
