Benefits of habit “Visualize success”
✓ Helps stay motivated
✓ Sets you on the right path to achievement
✓ Improves your mood
✓ Helps planning
First step:
2 minutes per day
Progress:
1. Today, spend 2 minutes visualizing the best outcome possible for something that’s important to you. It can be the project, your work, your relationships – whatever you want to succeed. Do this every day for 1 week.
2. Next week, increase the time to 4 minutes per day.
3. Keep increasing, until you spend at least 10 minutes visualizing the best possible outcome every day.
Helpful tips to make it a habit:
✓ Same time is key. If you want a habit to develop, you should do it routinely on the same time. Professional visualizing can be achieved in the same manner.
✓ Trigger your mind. Have a very special stress ball always within reach of your eye sight, so you wouldn’t forget it’s time to visualize. Then use it during the session to help develop this association between visualizing and the stress ball.
✓ Let the app help. Use the reminder function of this app to ring the time for visualization. You can also track the days you missed your session.
✓ Reward yourself. Once you’ve gone a month of visualizing the best possible outcome every day, celebrate by raising a glass of a good drink to the success you’re about to achieve. You’ve already been there and done that, why not celebrate it as well?!
✓ Celebrate small victories. Every time you perform this habit, congratulate yourself! Say “I’m awesome” or “I’m so cool” out loud and with a smile on your face.
Tips for beginners:
✓ Grounded in realism. While your goals can be high-aiming, make sure you have the back and possibility to achieve them. Over-aiming is possible, so before you visualize, make sure you know at least some of the steps on how to get where you want to be and use the visualization as a motivator, not the main tool.
✓ Make it realistic. Imagine your goal in detail: how does it look, smell, sound, and feel. What emotions it gives you, how do you look in it? Make it as realistic as possible and truly believe it. Believe that you’ve already been there and done that. Now, all you need to do is to get your body to get where your mind is – victory.
