We realize how irrelevant, unproductive and inauthentic worry is. Only how consciously you live, with what consciousness you choose to live remains with you. Only the consciousness of completion remains with you. When you understand the importance of your state of being, you automatically start radiating pleasantness and joy.
One more thing you should know is that imagination and visualization are two different things. Imagination translates into kalpanā in Saṃskṛt, while visualization translates into bhāvanā. Bhāvanā is different from kalpanā. Kalpanā means imagining things that are not there. For example, if you think of an elephant with ten trunks, that is imagination, kalpanā, that which is not there. But bhāvanā means visualizing that which is present but maybe eluding you.
