Much of how we think, feel and behave is dictated by the images of our mind – and we have the power to change it. That’s the message from psychologist Sydney Dr Lydia Ievleva, author of the new book Imagine (Big Sky Publishing, $29.99), which provides readers with a practical and comprehensive guide to using the power of positive mental imagery to help achieve goals and reach our full potential.
Sydney-based psychologist Dr Lydia Ievleva has over 25 years’ experience incorporating the application of mental imagery into her work with a wide range of clients, including athletes, business and health professionals. Drawing from her broad experience in Performance Psychology and Positive Psychology, and as former president of the APS College of Sport Psychologists, she effectively uses the techniques outlined in the book to facilitate change. With scientifically based techniques, as well as many case studies, Imagine is a practical guide on how to achieve goals, eliminate obstacles and improve your life.
