What Do You Visualize? Most people are limited by visions of their past, replaying
previous failures and heartbreaks. Creative Visualization enables you
to design the vision that will occupy your mind, ensuring that the
greatest pull on you is your future—a compelling, exciting, and
limitless future.
Here’s a brief summary of how I use Visualization, followed by
three simple steps for you to create your own Visualization process.
After I’ve read my affirmations, I sit upright on my living room
couch, close my eyes, and take a few slow, deep breaths. For the next
five minutes, I simply visualize myself living my ideal day,
performing all of my tasks with ease, confidence, and enjoyment.
For example, during the months that I spent writing this book
(okay, who am I kidding—it took years), I would first visualize
myself writing with ease, enjoying the creative process, free from
stress, fear, and writer’s block. I also visualized the end result—
people reading the finished book, loving it and telling their friends
about it. Visualizing the process being enjoyable, free from stress and
fear, motivated me to take action and overcome procrastination.
