Negative visualization is an ancient practice. Imagine losing what you have. Picture the job gone, the relationship ended, the health declined. Not to worry, but to appreciate.
When you vividly imagine loss, gratitude for the present becomes natural. The job you take for granted becomes valuable. The relationship you neglect becomes precious. The health you ignore becomes irreplaceable.
This practice prevents the adaptation that dulls appreciation. What once delighted becomes normal. What once satisfied becomes inadequate. Negative visualization restores perspective.
What would you miss if it were gone?
