Let's Get Visual
Let's Get Visual
Dear Friend,
I guess I've been doing this for some long - in athletics, in school and relationships, then in business - that I've taken for granted that everyone knows how to do it...
Talking about visualization, of course.
Here's the email that smacked me upside the head and made me rethink how I write some of my visualization suggestions:
Coach, I know this is hard to believe but, there are those of out here that don't create pictures in our heads. It amazes me to talk to someone who can 'see a movie' when they close their eyes. I know visualization is a great tool but what can you recommend for those of us who don't have easy access to this tool? Thanks for your time and your wisdom.

Well, Mike - practice, practice, practice.
Here's what to do:
Find a quiet time and place.
Get into a relaxed state (if you don't know how to do this, you can get a detailed visualization technique - that I walk you through step by step - in the Top 5 Reasons to Hill Sprint audio CD - http://www.makesyoufast.com/top_5_cd_sales.html )
Picture and focus on what you want while staying relaxed. Fitting into those pants you haven't worn in years, getting stronger, running faster, conquering that hill, seeing lard drip off your frame... anything that you want can be visualized.
The more you do this, the better you'll get at it. Try to practice the technique every day and soon you'll be seeing movies in your own head... and achieving your dreams and goals faster than ever before.

PS It might be easier to start visualizing in the 3rd person - like you are someone else watching yourself - then switch to the 1st person - seeing yourself achieving your goals from your own perspective.
