Hello Sylly Gyrl!
I totally agree! Isnt that what you did when you met you partner? Visualised how you wanted to share and experience your day with them? People do that with their houses and cars. Ladies visualize their house interiors and have them looking just so! And gentlemen with their cars. Picture your body benfitting from all those healthy foods! Picture your body running smooth and being healthy, and you can bring about those things which make it just so!
