Welcome to Personal Development Mastery Podcast, and this is another snippet of wisdom, where I select my most insightful moments from previous episodes. Today's snippet comes from my guest Andrew Kapp, who talks about practical gratitude and visualization methods from his book, The Last Law of Attraction, book you'll ever need to read. Let's dive right in.

Andrew Kapp
I call this the time lapse method, and this is a gratitude exercise. What you're basically going to do is you're going to write down 15 things that you're grateful for. Now, five of them are things that you've received in your past, five of them are things that you are enjoying in your present, and five of them are things that you want in your future.
But the trick to all this is you're phrasing all of them in the present tense. And then you're taking that list and you're jumbling it up. So technically, you know, the first item is a future thing, then a past, then a present, then another present, then another past, then another future.
It's all a big jumbled mess. And what you're going to do is you're going to go down the list one at a time, reading it off, and taking just 20 to 60 seconds to feel gratitude for that thing. And here's the thing.
We were talking about frequency before and the way you vibrate. This is basically strategically tricking your vibration because two-thirds of that list is actually true. And as humans, we can't really downshift that easily from certainty to doubt.
So what you're doing is you're taking the certainty of those two-thirds and you're carrying it over into the future items that you're listing over, which, again, is another way of basically tricking your vibration of telling the universe that you have that house that you want already, or that girlfriend, or that boyfriend, or that promotion, or that health improvement, or whatever it is, in the midst of all the other things that you already have.
Again, you're infusing the same level of confidence and certainty in a more undeniable way and kind of, like, boosting the speed and the energy with which you're inviting those things that you still want on that list. So, you know, we can do, like, let's talk about a visualization one. This one I call the 10-minutes-ago method.
And this goes down to the reminder that sometimes people think they have to feel the thing perfectly. Like, I have to feel what it's like to win the lottery. Otherwise, how is it going to happen?
I have to feel what it's like to be in that house. I have to feel what it's like to whatever it might be. The 10-minutes-ago method is basically you visualizing yourself as if you got the news of what you wanted 10 minutes ago.
Or it could be 20 minutes or whatever your brain rationalizes. And the key about this is, like, if I were to win the lottery, well, there's, you know, obviously I'm going to be really excited, but there's no telling how much I will or will not have calmed down 10 minutes later, which is another way of saying I have permission to feel any emotion at all as I'm visualizing this without botching it, because we always worry about botching it. So by putting yourself in the visualization of your 10 minutes in the future of getting what you want, you can visualize it easier with less pressure on yourself.
So what are you doing 10 minutes from now? Are you calling your family? Are you bragging about it on Facebook?
Are you telling people not to tell it on Facebook because you don't want people coming after your money? Like, what are the vivid real-life experience details that match your personality and that mirror who you are that you will be doing and saying and reacting? That's the kind of thing.
And you can do this for 90 seconds or 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Just sit down and visualize yourself 10 minutes in the future of having whatever news that you wanted coming your way.
