Visualizations are images we create in our mind. In simple terms, your mind makes mental movies that you will play over and over again. Our brain and the subconscious functions “remember” the things we see. We can recreate these images over and over again in our minds. Creating “movies” of what we want or where we see ourselves does the same thing. It is entered directly into our subconscious as what has actually been seen by us. It is real to our brain. We have actually seen the image we created. Thus, we create the reality we want.
How do you do it? Start by setting aside a time and place for your visualizations.
It’s better if you can do it at the same time every day. Begin by closing your eyes and creating a mental image of what you want. At first this may seem a bit strange and the images unclear. That’s fine. The more you practice, the clearer the images will become. Always try to picture the same images every day, adding more detail as you become more comfortable with the process. Look at the pictures in your mind as a movie with yourself as the lead actor.
You might say to yourself, “I’m not a very visual person. I just can’t see it.” I believe that everyone has the ability to visualize—even if it’s just a little. I’m not saying that you have to see it in vivid detail and in color. Your imagery may be different than somebody else’s. But you have to be able to see the end result and see yourself in that place. See yourself being successful.
Professional athletes, CEOs, inventors, scientists, and other highly successful people use the power of visualization technique regularly. For example, when Albert Einstein thought through a problem, he always found it necessary to formulate his idea in as many different ways as possible, including using diagrams. He visualized solutions and believed that words and numbers as such did not play a significant role in his thinking process. Inventor and scientist, Nikola Tesla, was said to have had such strong visualization abilities that he could imagine the workings of his 700 or so inventions in such great detail that he did not put anything on paper or conduct any experiments until all of the problems were worked out.
Don’t get the wrong idea as to what I’m saying here. You don’t have to be a great thinker or inventor to visualize. However, I hope you can clearly see what the power of visualization can do for you if you only put your mind to it, so to speak.
