Selective memory
I would say my house is a terrible mess about 85% of the time (with my bedroom standing at a cool 99.99%), but when I visualize it, it's tidy. I guess I see it how I wish it was, even though my wishes never materialize. Have you ever heard of that book, Think Yourself Thin? I have a feeling it wouldn't work on me.

Please visualize yourself having made me laugh today, and know that it worked :)
I'm right there with ya, hun.

I visualized eating some candy, and that worked, too! Maybe I should give myself a little more credit...
