Basketball has been my favorite sports but I was simply too busy with my job and other stuffs. It has been a long time since I last played though I still have a passion for it. Everyday, I would imagine that I am making jump shots from every angle of the court. Then I would also imagine that I have won the gold championship, that I am also the highest scorer in the game.
Then one day, the opportunity came when my friends invited me to play. I haven't been practicing, but I'm making more accurate shots than those who have been playing every day!
Visualization and affirmation has made the difference
Well, this is an example of the power of imagination and creative visualization. If you want to be a super sales person, visualize as one and act like one. Think of what suit you are wearing, beating your competition, closing the most important deal of the year, and the contract signing ceremony youre in. Visualize the evidences. Smell the victory. Make everything real.
You should also affirm. Believe that you are what you are visualizing. So you want to be a lawyer? Tell yourself, "I'm the best lawyer in the world." Don't say to yourself, "I will be the best lawyer in the world."
Affirm strongly. Say "I am," instead of "I will," because "I will" suggests something that will occur only in the future. You have to experience it NOW, not in the future.
You must sink your into your subconscious - your deepest burning desire. The subconscious mind can do what the conscious mind cannot. Here's an exercise for you.
1. Get a comfortable and quiet place to rest.
2. Relax your whole body. Command every part of your body to relax starting from your feet up to your head.
3. From 20, count back slowly to 1, and with each count you relax deeper and deeper. Upon reaching 1, you are completely relaxed.
4. Now affirm your deepest desire. If you want to be a lawyer, say," I am the greatest lawyer in the world." While you are saying that, picture yourself to be the best lawyer ever, winning every case you've come across. You may say "I am now explaining to the jury my winning proposition" or anything that will affirm what you are conceiving in your mind as of the moment.
5. Continue to relax for about 10 to 20 minutes with continuous confirmation and visualization, count slowly again, this time from 1 to 20. While counting, slowly be aware of your surroundings. Feel refreshed and invigorated after doing this exercise.
6. Repeat this exercise everyday.
What you have just learned is a very powerful technique to greatly enhance the power of creative visualization and affirmation by imbedding it into the subconscious. What once is nearly impossible to achieve will become easier to reach from now on. |
