The truth is that the more you visualize a goal or outcome in advance, the more ability you have of achieving it.
Here’s the secret: visualization is a super power that’s been used by many elite sportspeople, business and other leaders to achieve success.
So, let’s take a closer look at visualization in action.
First of all, a golfer may see where they want the ball to end up, mapping in their mind its trajectory and how it will land. Ahead of a competition, a successful golfer will spend as much time visualizing how they are going to play each hole on the course as they would practising each shot.
Similarly, an executive may have a mental playbook of operating a business far in advance of them actually doing so.
What’s the magic formula? Our default mental state is one of negativity. Our discursive internal chatter constantly runs negative scenarios through our mind. And so, by visualizing success we rewire our thinking and positively align ourselves to achieve our goals.
It sounds simple. And it is. But it is also extremely powerful. The trick is to constantly practice positive visualization.
