How To Use Visualization To Get What You Want

We have two mindsthe conscious and the subconscious.

Without our even knowing, our subconscious mind is processing things at an astronomical rate.

So how can we harness this power and use it to our advantage?

Well, the subconscious mindthinksin visual images and feelings.

How visualization works.

Visualization is like a mental rehearsal for something that you want to call into your life.

Its important to visualize your goals with images that trigger you in the most physical way possible.

For example, my business partner and I want to write a best-selling book.

I didn’t feel any sensations of excitement in my body.

Instead, I started to imagine that I already had a best-selling book.

I visualized the situations that could come with this scenario that made me feel excited.

This was the scenario that came to my mind:

Im walking through the airport, traveling for business.

Its very surreal, completely unexpected and a bit unsettling.

Then I realize its my bestselling book and a huge smile spreads across my face!

Another woman I know experienced similar success through her own visualizations.

She was single and wanted tofind her soul mate.

She said that she could picture clearly, the toasts at her weddingtears would fill her eyes.

And just less than three months later, she met this wonderful man.

To get started with a basic visualization, think about one of your goals for the future.

(I find that it helps to try visualizing your ideal life five years from now.)

Find the images that most excite you in your body and focus on those.

Here are somevisualization techniquesthat can help you stay on top of it:

One great way to make a physical representation of your goals is tocreate a vision board.

Make a ritual out of listening to them daily.

Every night when you go to sleep, spend about two minutes picturing the images of your future success.

So give visualization a try and create the future of your dreams!
