Visualizing success seems to make the process easier and more achievable. You can apply this to work, training, or life in general. During my run today, I realized that I practice this technique in everything that I do, especially running (I promise I'm not crazy). For example, on Sunday I went for a 7+ mile run. In order to prevent doubt and fear from creeping into my head, I thought about how rewarding it was going to be to finish my run and enjoy a cold Gatorade. Also, during any tough run I always think about my training goals and how that particular run is better preparing me for my upcoming events. Thinking about this, as opposed to each individual mile or hill makes it easier. In fact, it even makes it FUN!! I encourage you to apply this technique to different facets of your life. Next time you feel overwhelmed at work, visualize successfully completing your assignment or closing a big deal. This concept may seem elementary, but it can make a world of difference.
I will leave you with this quote by Cherie Carter-Scott. "Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. And by visualizing the impossible, they begin to see it as possible." Now get out there, achieve the impossible, and enjoy the journey!
Wow! This is great...Thanks for posting.
