Visualization Tips

Suggestions For Better Visualization

Our dreams are filled with images.  While someone may speak in our dreams, including us, they are mostly visual, just like our everyday life.

The classic axiom of movie making is ‘show. don’t tell’ because so much more can be said with an image than with words.

When you see an image online, in many cases, you would not need a caption.  Unless it is a ‘trick photo’, you will pretty much be able to see what the picture is about.

However, to describe the same graphic without being able to show it, would require many words, and even then there’s no guarantee you’ll be able to communicate it accurately.

It should come as no surprise that visualization can work in our conscious lives.  When we create mental images of the life we want or the situations we desire, it helps to solidify our desire on how to bring them about.

Visualization Exercises

1. Internal vs. External Visualization
   Try to imagine what you want internally, within yourself.  Think of this as a first-person exercise.  When you have a clear picture of your internal vision, imagine the situation as if you were someone else watching you, as an actor in a movie or on television.
2. Create an Image of the Whole Picture
   Instead of thinking about getting a promotion, think about the tasks of the job you’d like to get promoted to. Also, think about the people whose lives would be affected by you getting promoted.  If you are going to get your own office, picture what that would be like and what you want in it. Tie back the tasks so that you can match that up with what is needed in your new office.  The more detailed you can get with this, the more likely it will happen.  Are you going to get an assistant?  Imagine who that would be and how you are going to lead him or her.
3. Picture a Realistic Situation
   You will not be president of your company next month if you just started in an entry-level position.  While it’s perfectly feasible to become president one day, imagining that scenario in your early stages wastes time.  It’s okay to dream and to dream big, but set your sights on intermediate targets and build up from there.
4. Visualize the Small Things
   We focus much of our energy dreaming of the ‘big things’ we want.  Often, big accomplishments require smaller steps towards our goal.  We should include them, imagine them, and visualize how those smaller accomplishments will be accomplished and play out.
5. Bring Back Your Imagination
   When we become adults, we lose most of our imagination.  For instance, if kids want to captain a spaceship, they simply imagine it.  If adults publicly declare they want to captain a spaceship, and they don’t work for NASA, they are given a one-way ticket to a mental hospital.  This causes adults to repress their ability to use imagination. Imagination can be a great way to make new discoveries, no matter how far out they may seem.

Visualization Exercises for Success

Learn What Others Visualize
We cannot think of every possible scenario, whatever it is we seek to achieve.

When we learn what others are envisioning, we can bring that into our own visualizations, assuming they fit with what we want.

Taking Action

Use your imagination.

For this task, let yourself picture anything out of the ordinary. It can be something you envisioned as a child or perhaps it is something your own child imagines. Write your imagery on paper.

Create a vision of your ideal society.

Call it Your World. How would the people in this society act? What kinds of jobs would they have? What would a typical neighborhood look like? When you make visions like this, they are more likely to become reality, especially if others can see your vision.

Participate in forums geared towards visualization and the achievement of dreams.

Read through what others have success with and ask questions, especially when new to the forums. Be an active participant and you will learn about the art of visualization.
