The power of visualization

Are you ready for the week my Friend? Remember: ‘Energy goes where attention flows.’ Today, visualize a good week first.
While it might feel cheesy, studies show that visualizing ourselves tackling the week primes us to feel more capable when situations pop up IRL. Plus: It gives us momentum.
Today, take 2 for a quick visualization.

1. Think: How could this day be better or improve?
2. Visualize: Yourself doing those things.
3. Do: Take action.
   Mental practice can get you closer to where you want to be in life, and it can prepare you for success
   Brain studies now reveal that thoughts produce the same mental instructions as actions. Mental imagery impacts many cognitive processes in the brain: motor control, attention, perception, planning, and memory. So the brain is getting trained for actual performance during visualization. It’s been found that mental practices can enhance motivation, increase confidence and self-efficacy, improve motor performance, prime your brain for success, and increase states of flow – all relevant to achieving your best life!
   The power of visualization works hand in hand with the Law of Attraction. The idea is to visualize an image in your head; by consistent visualization of this image, it will be attracted to you.
   You already do this, probably without realizing you do it! Whenever you focus on what might go wrong, things will go wrong and serve to reinforce a tendency to focus on what might go wrong… because it has, in the past, over and over!
   But you can also take that immense creative power and use it for your benefit.
   By keeping the idea of what you want on your mind, you will be more likely to do what it takes to make that dream a reality. You will also be more attuned to opportunities and the right people when you give your mind a powerful visual command.

The Power of Visualization

What makes visualization so powerful?

How can using visualization to create your reality possibly happen?

You may have heard people say, “I can’t imagine (riding a 100 miles on my bike, performing on stage, painting a mural, etc. etc.). They are never, ever going to achieve these things because they are not capable of imagining themselves achieving them.
Everything that was ever created or achieved first started as an idea in someone’s mind. Usually in response to some need or some desire, an idea took hold and the person began focusing mental energy on it. The idea built on itself as the mental energy became infused with emotions. This created a massive desire and the person’s mind went into overdrive looking for ways to marry the vision with physical reality.
Ideas of “how” and “when” were generated based on that initial visualization… and this snowballed until… the chair you’re sitting on was designed built; the keyboard on your computer was designed and built; the music on your iPod was written, rehearsed and recorded; your favorite perfume or cologne was crafted….
Every idea you put on paper or read contains a mental image that is a composite of pictures, feelings, imagined sensory experiences, etc. In fact, your mind is creating images right now based on what you are reading here. Right now, you are visualizing!
In fact, you visualize when you worry. We’re all pretty good at that one, aren’t we? You can take that mental ability to visualize the worst case scenario and transform it into a powerful manifesting tool. Once you learn to put the power of visualization to work, you are able to create whatever you desire.

Think about this in terms of your body – every single physical action you take is generated in your mind. Step to the left. Stand up. Pick up a fork. Rub your nose. Before you do any physical action there’s a split-second image in your mind – which may be conscious or subconscious – that signals the body to take a specific action (not ‘step left and wiggle your pinky toe’ – just ‘step left’) .
It’s the same with things you want to attract into your life.
