Ep 22 Visualize Process

Do you want something more in your life? 

One way to attract what you want is with Visualization.

Research says the most successful form of visualization is PROCESS over an outcome. That means it works best to imagine every step you will take to get to that outcome. Gold medalist Lindsey Vonn says "I always visualize the run before I do it, By the time I get to the start gate, I've run that race 100 times already in my head, picturing how I'll take the turns.” But she doesn't just keep the images in her head. She's also known to physically simulate the path by literally shifting her weight back and forth as if she were on skis, as well as practice the specific breathing patterns she'll use during the race. 

Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps visualizes the perfect race from every perspective: as if he is in the stands and from the water over and over again. He has programmed himself for the perfect race before it begins.  And we know how that has worked out for him.

Ok, you get it. Visualization works so how do you make it work for YOU?!

Even if you only spend 3 minutes a day- you will see a difference!- but you have to actually do it! Sit in a quiet, comfortable place and close your eyes.  Now imagine the event taking place- every detail. What does it feel like sitting there getting the job or promotion, what are the words you are hearing, who is the first person you call after you leave the meeting? Imagine the details of each physical feeling you are experiencing as you sit across from a great date. Imagine the laughter and the text you receive afterwards. Imagine the applause after your successful presentation, the joy, the sounds, the smiling faces around you.  Always imagine in the present tense. And when you feel you are there, stay there for a bit and close with the phrase “I am so happy and grateful now that this is happening.  Thank you.”

Rinse. Repeat. and repeat again.
