“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it” – William Arthur Ward

Visualization techniques are when a person uses his imagination to create a mental picture that serves as a motivation at one end and increases confidence on the other. One of the benefits of visualization is that it does not matter what your surroundings are, it is your willpower to change the pattern of thinking and recreate a new world with your senses.

10 Best Visualization Techniques To Follow!

Before you understand the technique, believe in the power of your brain and the energy that you produce through constructive thinking. Understand that the Universe reverts to what you think, so be careful in maintaining positivity and attracting similar energy.

Here are some powerful visualization techniques to help you out:

1. Close Your Eyes & Visualize Achieving The Goal

Sounds simple, right? Well, it is very simple! If you are looking forward to a job promotion, buying a new cabin, or becoming a CEO, you just need to feel that you have already accomplished it all.

This visualization and overall scenario in your mind keep you motivated for work that concerns your future achievements and you have already started preparing yourself for a better version of yourself.

2. A Vision Board

Some people can’t concentrate on their goals through visualization or get easily distracted. For them, creating a vision board is the best and most powerful visualization exercise. A vision board could be designed by pasting photographs and visuals of those things that you want in your life.

A big house? Money? Favorite car? Whatever be it, collate all the images in one place and put this vision board somewhere you can see every day. Spend a few minutes every day with the board as it acts as a powerful visualization technique.

3. Positive Self-Talk

There are uncountable mental benefits of self-talk amongst which one is its application as a visualization technique. Positive affirmations in your self-talk empower your inner voice to guide and narrate your actions.

‘Everything is so good’ or ‘I will keep trying’ includes pep talks by which you push yourself towards your goals. However, it is needed that you don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself by saying ‘I have to do it or else..’ and take the conversation on the negative side. Be affirmative and keep yourself happy!

4. Frame Your Desired Monetary Value

In case your major goal is to earn some solid money, this visualization technique can be really helpful and has worked out for many celebrities including Jim Carrey and author Jack Canfield. Write a cheque with your name and desired amount of the same and stick it on the table or wall which you see every day.

You can also frame a dollar bill to apply the visualization manifestation technique. Keep visualizing yourself with the inflow of money and activities that you would love to do with the same amount.

5. Get Into Someone Else’s Shoes

Another creative visualization technique to try is to get into the shoes of someone who is already there. This can work if you find yourself too anxious or overwhelmed with your goals. For example, if you are willing to become a successful author in the future, try to learn the story of J.K. Rowling and inspire yourself from the journey that she went through.

Having a role model helps you to connect your weakest points and strongest moments and you thrive to be a successful person more than ever.

6. Keep Rehearsing

Some situations are stressful to deal with. For example, a major examination, a proposal, or asking your boss for a raise. It is recommended that you practice the scenario in your visualization and even try finding the possible outcomes.

There are chances to get surprised by real results but you are prepared in advance to deal with the situation in the best and worst cases already!

7. A Place To De-Stress

Although positive visualization techniques can be applied anywhere in the world, a place where you can reduce all the stress and think with a free mind matters. For many people, the sun shining on your balcony or sitting around with their plants could be a happy place and these places act as a source of replenished energy.

If you don’t have a happy place, create one with all your heart and keep it full of positive energy. The key is to have a place where you can leave your negative thoughts holding you back from reaching your goals behind and focus on the positive ones.

8. Make Your Goals Physical

When your dreams and desires are not money-related but you still want to make your visualizations more realistic, then you can make your goals more physical by writing them down on notecards.

Be confident and clear in your intentions. Instead of wishing for something to happen, predict your result. Make sure you put these notecards somewhere you can look at regularly to motivate yourself.

9. Use Sensory Visualization

You have the necessary tools to engage in positive visualization techniques but here’s another one to help you improve the quality of your visualization. Make your visualizations real, how? When you add sensory experiences to your visualizations, you make those seem more real and give them the power to empower you from the inside out.

Visualize the weather in your visualizations, notice the people in your future, the clothes they’re wearing, the music that’s playing in the background, and more. The more realistic the visualizations feel the more powerful your visions will become.

10. From Desires To Beliefs

Many people like to use visualization techniques as manifestations of what they want to happen instead of what they believe will happen. To be successful, change is important and change begins here. Turn your desires into beliefs as it can make for a powerful visualization technique.

If you’re already imagining scenarios then you just need to shift the way of considering them. Instead of wishful thinking, make your visualization a way to predict the future.

Bonus: Embrace Past & Present

Any of the above visualization techniques can work perfectly only when you are kind to yourself, embrace the lessons you have learned in the past and accept the present with your heart. Only then will you be able to thrive for future goals.

It is because the baggage of other undertakings must not interfere with your creative visualization techniques. Whatever you had or you have is well and good but it’s time to step up now!

Practicing these powerful and positive visualization techniques, boost your self-confidence, increase your motivation, and reduce the stress or anxiety of following your dreams and goals. With practice, you’ll get what you desire to achieve.
