How to visualize correctly?

To answer this question, you first need to understand what is visualization? Basically, the visualization process is the act of imagining colorful and rich pictures that helps to achieve the intended goal faster. Thus, at first, a person presents the desired result, draws up a plan, and then translates it into reality

As an example, consider the following situation. The architect imagines the future project of the building, thinks over the details, draws the plan, then the building is built

Why does visualization bring us closer to fulfilling our goal?

• First, visualization activates the creative powers of the subconscious

• Secondly, it helps the brain to concentrate, stimulates the activity of the reticular formation to select readily available resources that are in a person's life. As a rule, in most cases, people simply do not pay attention to the means at their disposal, since the brain works selectively

• Thirdly, a person, charged with an inner charge and a dream, attracts the people around him, the resources and opportunities necessary to achieve his goal

As a result of the experiments, scientists have found that with a bright visualization of any activity in the human brain, the same processes occur as in the direct execution of the action itself. In other words, the brain does not understand the difference between visualizing an action and the action itself

How does visualization affect the "efficiency" of any person?

If you visualize the set goals as achieved on a daily basis, a contradiction arises in the subconscious between the desired and what a person currently has. As a result, the subconscious mind tries to eliminate this discrepancy, transforming the current reality into a new, more exciting dream and providing access to internal resources that were previously invisible and unimportant, and sometimes just seemed stupid, so the person did not think about them as possible sources for achieving the set goals. goals

What does this mean? Every day a person will wake up with new ideas, they will dawn on him in the shower, on a walk, in transport on the way to work, etc

The human brain processes up to 8 million bits of information every moment, most of which escapes its attention. This is a kind of information filtering process - only "basic" signals are passed into consciousness, which help to live and achieve the most important goals. How does the brain know what to leave and what to discard? It's simple - it is decided on the basis of the goal. The more a person is focused on the picture of the future, the longer the brain will retain impulses suitable for achieving the goal and pay attention to them

How to do it?

You need to close your eyes and imagine a picture of your future in front of you, feel your state when the desired goals are achieved - to be imbued with the surrounding smells, to experience a feeling of complete satisfaction, to hear sounds, to sort out your emotions. Next, you need to add a sense of pride that the goal has finally been achieved. Why is it so important to feel the intended idea with every cell of the body? This approach enhances the effect many times over. Many trainers call the visualization process "sensoryization", since it is the experienced feelings that play a greater role in this case than the picture itself

There are several examples to consider

The ultimate goal is to buy a home. What kind of house (apartment) is this? What area is it located in? What feelings are overwhelmed when entering the premises? What's inside? Are there any pictures? What color is the wallpaper? What kind of repair?

The ultimate goal is harmonious relationships. What will be a romantic evening with your loved one - views, feelings, ambient sounds and smells?

Many people claim that they do not see the picture in 3D during rendering. What to do in this case? Do not stop and present the achieved goal the way it turns out, regardless of the format of the picture itself. Do you need to make an effort and "finish" certain details? Do it! You can imagine every day that the goals have been achieved, gradually work through every detail of the interior, smells, taste perception, feelings experienced. With this approach, the result will be the same as for those who see the images

Visualization should be practiced every morning and before bed. The more times a person tries to draw the desired picture, the greater the likelihood that he will succeed. There are some auxiliary ways:

1. Ready pictures. It is enough to search and select on the Internet the pictures you like that relate to the desired goal

2. Dream board. Pictures selected on the Internet and printed or drawn with your own hand can be attached to the board

3. Book of goals. Records can be both visual (the same pictures) and verbal

So, no magical thinking exists, we only help the brain to achieve its goals. But we have to do the main work ourselves. What does it mean? You can't just sit and dream every day, expecting that tomorrow everything will happen by itself. No, visualization is just an addition, a hidden potential that helps to unleash creative resources and make the human brain see what is really important in a given situation

How do we “make” the power of visualization work for us? Psychotherapists recommend following the following scheme:

devote 20 minutes a day to the visualization process itself (daily) - 10 minutes in the morning and in the evening

Do the exercises for 20 minutes

20 minutes to read motivational literature or watch a video
