Visualization - 4 parts

As I confessed in my previous post I didn't get off to a great start regarding my resolutions in January...slowly getting back on track!

Here is part of an article from Brian Tracy that may help put things in perspective.

There are four parts of visualization that you can learn and practice to assure that you use this incredible power to its best advantage all the days of your life.

How Often?
The first part of visualization is frequency, the number of times that you visualize a particular goal as achieved. The more frequently you repeat a clear mental picture of your very best performance or result, the more rapidly it will appear as part of your reality.

How Long?
The second element of visualization is the duration of the mental image, the length of time that you can hold the picture in your mind each time you replay it. The longer you can hold your mental picture, the more deeply it will become impressed into your subconscious mind and the more rapidly it will express itself in your subsequent performance.

How Clearly?
The third element of visualization is vividness. There is a direct relationship between how clearly you can see your desired goal or result in your mind and how quickly it comes into your reality. The vividness of your desire directly determines how quickly it materializes in the world around you.

How Intensely?
The fourth element of visualization is intensity, the amount of emotion that you attach to your visual image. In reality, this is the most important and powerful part of the visualization process. Sometimes, if your emotion is intense enough and your visual image is clear enough, your goal will immediately come true.

Of course, the elements of frequency, duration, vividness, and intensity can help or hurt you. Like nature, the power of visualization is neutral. Like a two-edged sword, it can cut in either direction. It can either make you a success or make you a failure. Visualization brings you whatever you vividly and intensely imagine, whether good or bad.

Action Exercise
Continually feed your mind with clear, exciting, emotional pictures. Remember, your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.

Wishing you a fantastic weekend!
