Research into the benefits of visualization shows that seeing a situation play out in your mind’s eye stimulates the brain in a very similar way as actually experiencing the situation directly. It can be a powerful tool for processing big emotions related to events that have already happened, or for preparing for future events that may soon come to pass, or that you would like to come to pass.
So in this exercise, rather than worrying about all the reasons why not, or worrying about past failures, real or perceived, you will check in with a future version of yourself that has achieved your goals. As you imagine yourself in that future, your body will familiarize itself to that state, and you’ll tap into your own wisdom and insights that had previously been locked behind your current feelings and old patterns of behavior.
Your future self has a message for you - it may be a tip, a bit of advice, or a symbol - and you can use this visualization to retrieve it. You can revisit this visualization whenever you feel yourself shifting away from your goals; a shift may or may not be warranted, and what’s important is that you check in with yourself and your own knowing as you’re working toward them.
If you would like help interpreting the message you receive or learning other visualization or meditation techniques, please schedule a free consultation and let’s see what there is to see.
I hope you enjoyed this track.
