How to Practice Visualization to Rapidly Accelerate Your Business Success

Have you ever set out to complete a goal only to be all over the place with it? Putting energy and focus inefficiently, ending up with poor results?

Ultimately, if you truly believed you could do what you wanted, you would do it!

An exercise to assist you in your goals.

Here is an exercise I take many of my Resilient Women In Business masterminds groups through.

First, take 15 minutes to write down and describe every detail of what you want to achieve in the next 2 years. The more specific you are the better.

Then take 10 minutes to mentally rehearse achieving this. Visualize what your life will be like upon goal completion.

Visualization techniques have been used by successful people to fulfil their desired outcomes for decades. The practice has even given some high achievers what seems like super-powers, helping them create their dream with complete focus and confidence.

In fact, we all have this super power; however, most of us have never been taught to use it effectively.

Elite athletes use it.
The super rich use it.
Peak performers in all fields use it.

That power is called visualization.

The daily practice of visualizing your dreams as being already complete can rapidly accelerate your achievement of those dreams, goals and ambitions.

Four Visualization Benefits

1. Activates your creative subconscious, which will start generating creative ideas to achieve your goal.
2. Programs your brain to more readily perceive and recognize the resources you will need to achieve your dreams.
3. Draws from the Law of Attraction, which will bring into your life the people, resources, and circumstances you will need to achieve your goals.
4. Builds your inner motivation to take the necessary actions to achieve your dreams.

The Simple Practice of Visualization

Sit in a comfortable position, close your eyes and imagine — in as vivid detail as you can — what you would be looking at if your dream was already realized. Imagine being inside of yourself looking out through your eyes at the ideal result.

For athletes, this visualization process is called “mental rehearsal,” and they have been using these exercises since the 1960s when we learned about it from the Russians.

All you have to do is set aside a few minutes a day.

The best times are when you first wake up, after meditation or prayer, and right before you go to bed. These are the times you are most relaxed.

3 Steps to Visualization

Go through the following three steps I learned from Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

STEP 1. Imagine sitting in a movie theater, the lights dim, and then the movie starts. It is a movie of you doing perfectly whatever it is you want to do better.

See as much detail as you can create including your clothing, the expression on your face, small body movements, the environment and any other people that might be around.

Add in any sounds you would be hearing — traffic, music, other people talking, cheering.

And finally, recreate in your body any feelings you think you would be experiencing as you engage in this activity.

STEP 2. Get out of your chair, walk up to the screen, open a door in the screen and enter into the movie.

Now experience the whole thing again from inside of yourself, looking out through your eyes. This is called an “embodied image” rather than a “distant image.” It will deepen the impact of the experience.

Again, see everything in vivid detail. Hear the sounds you would hear and feel the feelings you would feel.

STEP 3. Finally, walk back out of the screen that is still showing the picture of you performing perfectly. Return to your seat in the theater, reach out and grab the screen and shrink it down to the size of a cracker.

Then, bring this miniature screen up to your mouth, chew it up and swallow it.

Imagine that each tiny piece — just like a hologram — contains the full picture of you performing well.

Imagine all these little screens traveling down into your stomach and out through the bloodstream into every cell of your body.

Then imagine every cell of your body is lit up with a movie of you performing perfectly. It’s like one of those appliance store windows where 50 televisions are all tuned to the same channel.

When you have finished this process — it should take less than five minutes — you can open your eyes and go about your business.

When you make this part of your daily routine, you will be amazed at how much improvement you will see in your life, business and relationships.

I wish you all the success with your new habit of visualizing what you want to achieve in your world.
