Loving what you've read so far? Stay inspired with my weekly blog digest and get the motivation you need to turn your dreams into reality Are You Visualizing Too Much? The danger of visualization The allure of visualization is that it allows us to experience a reality different than our current one.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. Blank Journals. My Books. We printed several copies and hung them up around the office.
Less than two years later, our book was the number one book in that category and stayed there for over a year. We practice a similar discipline every day.
We each have a list of about goals we are currently working on. Each morning and each night we go through the stack of cards, one at a time, read the card, close our eyes, see the completion of that goal in its perfect desired state for about 15 seconds, open our eyes and repeat the process with the next card. An affirmation is a statement that evokes not only a picture, but the experience of already having what you want.
I am happily vacationing 2 months out of the year in a tropical paradise, and working just four days a week owning my own business. Repeating an affirmation several times a day keeps you focused on your goal, strengthens your motivation, and programs your subconscious by sending an order to your crew to do whatever it takes to make that goal happen. Through writing down your goals, using the power of visualization and repeating your daily affirmations , you can achieve amazing results.
Visualization and affirmations allow you to change your beliefs , assumptions , and opinions about the most important person in your life — YOU! They allow you to harness the 18 billion brain cells in your brain and get them all working in a singular and purposeful direction. Your subconscious will become engaged in a process that transforms you forever. It just happens over time, as long as you put in the time to visualize and affirm, practice your techniques, surround yourself with positive people, read uplifting books and listen to audio programs that flood your mind with positive, life-affirming messages.
Visualization is effective because it harnesses the power of our subconscious mind. When we visualize goals as complete, it creates a conflict in our subconscious mind between what we are visualizing and what we currently have.
Our minds are hard-wired to resolve such conflicts by working to create a current reality that matches the one we have envisioned. Visualization activates the creative powers of the subconscious mind, motivating it to work harder at creating solutions.
The third way visualization boosts success is by programming the Reticular Activating System RAS , which serves as a mental filter for the 8 million bits of information that are streaming into our brains at any one time.
The RAS thinks in pictures, not words. Daily visualization feeds the RAS the pictures it needs to start filtering information differently. As a result, your RAS will start to pay attention to anything that might help you achieve your goals — information that it otherwise might ignore. In fact, spending too much time in visualization can rob you of something essential — living in the moment. Daily rituals help to establish the right balance between thinking about the future and living in the moment.
Ideally, do this twice a day — first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed. The process typically will take 10 minutes or less. You're doing it. You are a part of everything and everyone. I know that can be hard to understand. Stingray 's Hall of Mirrors idea. This is in regards to other people in your life and how they are reflecting different aspects and ideas of yourself to you.
I put this here because I said that everything in your life is put there by you, which includes people. I think this idea illustrates that you don't necessarily control others, but they are apart of your experience due to your own beliefs at that point in your life.
Eddie 's answer about traumatic life events and why they happen. This answer goes very in depth into vibrations and law of attraction and how your thoughts and beliefs are effecting your reality. I put this here because I feel your question is asking if you are doing visualization correctly. I feel this will help explain why your beliefs and feelings are more important than the methods you are using.
The Traveller 's answer about vibrations concerning want. This answer explains that if you focus on the lack you will manifest more lack. This relates a lot to the first part of your question. You asked if you envision a car and feel satisfied during the visualization, will you still manifest a new car?
I feel this answer will help here. Traveller explains when you have something, you no longer want it. This is where you want to be. The vibration of "wanting" something expresses lack of it, while the vibration of "having" something expresses you have it.
You want to have it, not want it. LapisLazuli 5. LapisLazuli - This is a really wonderful answer that has been overlooked. It is so clear and inclusive and so very well thought out.
I appreciated your summaries and links to greater insights on the subject from three of our deepest thinkers. This is a fine point that has always bothered me about visualisation and manifestation, and your answer has helped me sort out how I feel about it. Thank you. Terrific answer. Grace I am in agreement with you on this. Great answer LapisLazuli. Visualization, also called imagery, cannot only help you reach financial goals, but helps you reduce stress as well.
It is used among healthcare professionals as an effective stress management tool. Studies have shown that novice surgeons who received imagery training demonstrated reduced self-reported stress and decreased objective stress.
The same goes for police officers. You clearly see that visualization works for all groups of people and in all kinds of situations: it helps you to achieve your goals, to imagine your future, to deal with stress and much more.
Finally, how do you do it in real life? How can you tap into the power of visualization and enjoy all its benefits? Generally speaking, you need to imagine the specific situation in as many details as possible using all your senses — you can see it, smell it, hear it, feel it and taste it.
For many people, it helps when they close their eyes, and then there are others who prefer to write it all down instead of doing it purely in their mind. Meditation is one of them and if you are new to it and are looking for a guided meditation, try out the six phase meditation by Vishen Lakhiani.
