Negative Visualisation in Practice

Negative visualisation is a deliberate, controlled practice of actively rehearsing worst-case scenarios, failures, and unwanted outcomes before they happen to build resilience, expose blind spots, and create fallback plans.

This is distinctly different to negative thinking, which is an emotional and involuntary action which usually comes from fear, doubt and anxiety. Allow me to demonstrate the difference:

Suppose you are planning to apply for funding for a business idea you are extremely passionate about. If this funding does not go through, then the idea or opportunity would be lost.
