What do some of the world’s most influential and successful people have in common?
They all use the practice of visualisation to realise their
dreams and goals.
Jack Nicklaus has won a record 18 professional majors and is considered the best golfer in history. He has described how he used visualisation extensively to help him prepare and win at golf.
Tiger Woods was taught how to use visualization and imagery when he was a boy by his father, Earl. Tiger visualizes exactly where he wants the golf ball to go. Tiger Woods uses visualization to become one of the best, if not the best, golfer in the world today.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, five time Mr. Universe, four-time Mr. Olympia has not only used visualization for athletic success but also credits it for his success as a movie star: ”When I was very young I visualized myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it.”
This involves visualising the end result of your goal or desire .The concept of visualisation techniques has been known for ages.
Visualisation should be done in the “present tense”. Let’s say you’re looking to own a brand new car. You want to visualise yourself in the car and feel the moment as if it is happening this instant and not at some time in the future.
In other words, feel the sense of joy in owning the car, rather than the sense of wanting or the sense of desire for the car.
If you are looking to improve your sports skills, visualise yourself playing the game perfectly. See yourself making perfect moves, shooting every basket, making the perfect swing. Feel the joy you feel when you play the game well.
If you are looking to shed some pounds, see yourself healthy and fit. Feel the joy of having a beautiful body. See people complimenting you.
If you’re in sales, you can see yourself making the perfect pitches. See your monthly commission statements showing ever-increasing figures.
