IMPORTANT THINGS FOR EFFECTIVE VISUALIZATION!
If you are true to
yourself and visualize the future that is best for you, that future
itself will ignite a drive within you that, if fed properly, will
continue to burn until that dream is manifested. If you continue to go
back to this state of almost trance visualizing your goal and placing
yourself in your future shoes, you will begin to want nothing more than
to turn that reality into physical reality. But for this is to happen,
you need to know 4 things with regards to visualization that you can
learn and practice to assure that you use this incredible power to its
best advantage all the days of your life! These are;
Frequency: How Often?
The first aspect of visualization is frequency. This is number of times
that you visualize yourself performing in an excellent way, in a
particular event or circumstance, to achieve a particular goal. The more
frequently you repeat a clear mental picture of your very best
performance or result, the more rapidly it will appear as part of your
reality.
Duration: How Long?
The second element of
visualization is the duration of the mental image, the length of time
that you can hold the picture in your mind each time you replay it. When
you deeply relax, you can often hold a mental picture of yourself
performing at your best for several seconds, and even several minutes.
The longer you can hold your mental picture, the more deeply it will be
impressed into your subconscious mind and the more rapidly it will
express itself in your subsequent performance.
Vividness: How Clearly?
The third element of visualization is vividness. There is a direct
relationship between how clearly you can see your desired goal or result
in your mind and how quickly it comes into your reality. This element
of visualization is what explains the powers of the Law of Attraction
and the Law of Correspondence. The vividness of your desire directly
determines how quickly it materializes in the world around you.
Here
is an interesting point: When you set a new goal for yourself, your
image or picture of this goal will usually be vague and fuzzy. But the
more often you write it, review it, and repeat it mentally, the clearer
it becomes for you. Eventually, it will become crystal clear. At that
point, the goal will suddenly appear in your world exactly as you
imagined it. How true is this!
Intensity: How Intensely?
The
fourth element of visualization is intensity, the amount of emotion that
you attach to your visual image. In reality, this is the most important
and powerful part of the visualization process. Sometimes, if your
emotion is intense enough and your visual image is clear enough, you
will immediately achieve it.
These elements are great! All
achievers (in one way or another) have used them to their benefit!
Remember that, the elements of frequency, duration, vividness, and
intensity can help you or hurt you. Like nature, the power of
visualization is neutral. Like a two-edged sword, it can cut in either
direction. It can either make you a success or make you a failure.
Visualization brings you whatever you vividly and intensely imagine,
whether good or bad. As somebody, always (all the time) flood/feed your
mind with pictures of a person you (really) want to be (great trainer,
great consultant, great coach, great speaker, great author, great real
estate mogul, great politician, great minister, …). The life you want to
live. The goals you want to achieve. Have a vision board, look at it
frequently. Make your life an ongoing process of positive visualization;
continually imagining your perfect future! If this has helped others,
it can help you also! Remember, you are SOMEBODY! God counts on you!
