Harness Visualization to Manifest Your Desires
Why do track runners stare at the finish line intently before a race?
We’ve all seen it. The camera zooms in closely during the warm-up and the athletes are gazing intently at the finish line.
What are they doing?
They’re visualizing. What was once deemed a ridiculous practice based in New Age mumbo jumbo has found validation in science and is used by top athletes all over the world.
They’ve discovered that if you go there in the mind, you’ll go there in the body. Consistently holding a vision will ultimately bring about its experience. The more persistent you are, the greater your results.
Believe it or not, it’s a regular part of an elite athlete’s training.
We’re on the cutting edge of understanding the brain and mind. And what we know so far is that thought is creative.
A few years back I was working with someone on improving their golf game. They were skeptical about the concept of visualization. I had them visualize getting a hole in one casually each night, before they drifted off to sleep. Three weeks later they hit a hole in one in front of several witnesses. They couldn’t believe it and were sold on the visualization process.
It doesn’t have to be anything formal. Consistency is key. Adding all 5 senses engages the mind more. Before your next big endeavor try going there in the mind first. The body will ultimately follow.
