How and when to visualize

Published

on

Visualization is an important personal development tool. This is simply a technique for creating a mental image of a future event. When we visualize our desired outcome, we begin to “see” the possibility of achieving it. Along with focus and emotion it becomes a powerful, creative tool that helps us achieve what we want in life.

How to visualize.

Visualization or mental imagery works because when you imagine yourself performing perfectly and doing exactly what you want, you physiologically create neural patterns in your brain, just as if you had physically performed the action. The thought can stimulate the nervous system in the same way as the actual event does.

Go somewhere quiet and private where there are no distractions, close your eyes and think of the goal, mood, new behavior or skill, you want to acquire. Visualize the object or situation you desire in your mind as clearly and with as much detail as you can. Add emotion, feeling, and your senses to your vision and always be sure to maintain positive thoughts and a good attitude throughout.

When To Use Visualization

For successful outcomes – See yourself performing skills at a high level, achieving your goals, being who you want to be and living the life you want.

For motivation – Envision yourself achieving your goals vividly to remind yourself of your objective and what you need to do to reach it. Actors and singers for instance, “see” and “feel” themselves performing a routine or program several times perfectly in their minds before they actually do it.

To familiarize or set the stage for a performance/event – Visualization can be used effectively to familiarize yourself with the surroundings before an event, such as a stage or a difficult play or routine prior to the D-day.
