"Bring Out The Greatness Within You"
This time like all times is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson—
Seeing The Future
Researchers have found that your brain sees no difference between visualizing an event and actually performing it. In a test by Harvard University, it was found that students who visualized performed tasks at near 100% accuracy. Students that did not visualize performed tasks at 55% accuracy!
This simply means that by closing your eyes and seeing in your mind a particular event you want to happen (pitching a no-no, winning a conference championship in tennis, e.g.) it can happen. Almost all Olympic athletes use the power of visualization.
How It Works
In his book, “The Success Principles,” author Jack Canfield explains:
Constant visualization actually causes three things to happen:
· It programs your brain to start letting into your awareness anything that will help you achieve your goal
· It activates your subconscious mind to create solutions for getting the goals you want.
· It creates new levels of motivation. A “new you” begins to develop as you automatically volunteer for assignments and speak out at team meetings and in class.
Each time you go to sleep at night and close your eyes start visualizing to see your goals complete. If you want to win that important race, tennis tournament, or the big soccer game, you need to see it happen in your mind first.
As you imagine your goal being complete, you need to actually see everything. I mean you need to see your shoe laces flapping in the breeze during your race, the ball hit your racket in tennis and seeing the strings compress, and after kicking the soccer ball you actually see its full flight as it sails into the net.
Visualization is truly a deep state of mind and needs to be practiced consistently for it to work. The process usually takes about 15 minutes a night. Do this and I guarantee you will see the results, but you need to practice this and be in a deep state of concentration. You will begin to see a change in yourself.
