Visualization Is Your Secret Weapon
Picturing progress before it happens encourages healthy habits.
What if you were able to see things happening before they actually happen? What if your perception of the future was so powerful, it could direct your actions right now?
Well, you can and it is.
A common idea is that one day we’ll be able to experience the joy of our success. One day we’ll sit back and rest in satisfaction because it’s what we’ve worked for all along.
The problem with that is this: while you wait for future satisfaction, you moan, groan, and complain today. It puts us in a pit of negativity and self-degradation because the grass isn’t as green as we’d like.
Successful people make it a habit of visualizing what they want to see in their future. From athletes to business minds, they take time to take a mental snapshot of specific outcomes.
The results aren’t always immediate. In fact, most of the time it takes a while. But it doesn’t stop them from working towards their goals.
If we don’t have an idea of what we want, the default perception is we’re already failures. We conclude with the notion that life is a soggy bowl of cereal because we have yet to “arrive” (whatever that means).
