How many of you have heard about visualization? I’ve practiced it for years. When I was young, my baton twirling teacher would have us visualization our routine before competitions, having us mentally go through the motions and seeing ourselves be successful at it. My high school soccer coach would have us visualization our game strategies.
But I never thought to use it for my future success as an adult. Not until last year and again today when I was reminded about embodying that person who already has that thing you want, that career you cherish, that relationship you want, etc.
Example #1: Say I want to make a million dollars in my business, would Kelly the successful, smart businesswoman leave her dirty dishes sit in the sink for a week? In her mind, nope! I’ve started to change my mindset as if I already had the things I want. I’m also grateful I have them. That positive feeling is very powerful. I make choices from her perspective and mindset.
Example #2: If you saw my About Page, you
know that I’m a Solar System Ambassador for NASA/JPL. I’ve wanted to work with NASA for so long because I grew up loving the cosmos. Well, I envisioned myself working with them in my own fun, outgoing way and boom...this unique opportunity materialized. Embodying who you want to become or what you want works!
It takes practice to maintain that vibration of already having something, but it gets easier and faster. Is there something you would like to achieve that you can flip your perspective and envision that future you who already has it?
