3 visualization techniques that could bring you closer to your goals
Visualization is the practice of using thoughts and mental imagery to achieve specific outcomes. Visualizing is not the same as fantasizing, wishing, and hoping. It’s about creating space for abundance, designing the life you want, and manifesting your reality. It is a very individualized and personal image of your success, versus comparison or admiration of others’ success. It is meant to be a permanent part of your daily routine that becomes more and more effective with repetition.
Here are three ways that you can use visualization to move you closer to your desired destination:
- Visualize Your Ideal State of ‘Being’ and Feeling’
The focus here is on you as person, who you want to become and how you want to feel. Meditation and affirmations, or creative expressions like writing and drawing, are powerful tools to use here. They will all help you identify desired feelings and instill them into your subconscious.
- Visualize the End Goal
Think vision boards. A vision board is a visualization tool which refers to a board of any sort used to build a collage of words and pictures that represent your goals and dreams. Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want. These help to provide visual reminders of where you want to be and what you want to have in one, five, or ten years. They also provide the daily inspiration and motivation needed to keep you moving toward your vision.
- Visualize Your To-Do List
Often we find ourselves so buried in day-to-day tasks that we neglect to connect the dots between those tasks and the bigger picture. Visualization makes that connection possible. Whether in a professional space or a personal one, tools like post-it notes can be used to visualize how all the pieces of the puzzle go together.
