Remind yourself and visualize the time when you were completely relaxed and had a wonderful conversation. Notice how your body acted, how loosened and vulerable your whole body was. You were completely at peace.

A good self-help book should:
1. Make you find and commit to your goals. You'll find ways of achieving them yourself.
2. Give you permission to achieve greatness. Show that it is possible and within you.
