So, what is visualization? The only way I can describe visualization is that you have to think about what it is you want to achieve. Whatever that is, that's what you picture yourself doing. You picture yourself doing the very thing in which you want to achieve. What you have to do is reenact the whole scene in your mind and you have to do it step by step and see yourself as actually doing the very thing that you want to do. When you visualize it should take the same amount of time as if you were actually doing that thing. If you want to see yourself having a lot of money you will have to see yourself doing the things that people with a lot of money are doing. Now visualize yourself owning assets. Now there isn't much to picture since an asset is something which puts money in your pocket. So you can just visualize yourself having some type of documentation or paperwork or visualizing money coming into your bank account on a regular basis. Now to really see yourself as having a lot of money you have to see yourself as performing the task that people with a lot of money do. If you look at whatever profession you want to be such as being a doctor or an accountant, you have to see yourself as doing that kind of work. It's like studying. You have to study a lot to get the basic fundamentals, and you have to picture yourself as performing those tasks. In order to visualize yourself as being a real estate developer you have to see yourself as knowing all of the people that you would have to know in order to be a real estate developer. You have to spend lots of time contemplating your vision because the more that you can see yourself as doing it you will be more inclined to act on your vision. Nearly anyone can benefit from visualization. If you have a difficult job, you have to see yourself as performing that job up to a certain satisfactory level. So, you have to constantly spend time working and practicing. If you are a performer you have to spend time rehearsing and practicing. So, you also need to spend time visualizing yourself doing the things that you need to do. A good time to visualize is anytime during the day when you can stop, and you can take 15 to 20 minutes to have some time to yourself. If you have some time first thing in the morning when you wake up that's another good time. Even the last thing at night before falling asleep is a good time to visualize. And the thing about visualization is that you want to see yourself as the person who is doing the things that you wish to do. If it is success that you seek you have to think of yourself as if you're already successful. You have to think of yourself as doing and conducting certain activities from the mindset of that successful person. And as far as where you can visualize you can visualize in your car when you have some private time alone. Also, you can visualize in a quiet room. Even on your job when you're on your lunch break, if you can get to some place where you won't be disturbed you can do it then. So, you have to use your creativity to find an ideal place. So why would you need to visualize?
Well visualization really helped you to be where you are right now. There are certain things that you have in your life right now you saw yourself as having those things before you got them. You may have seen yourself as being in the position that you're in right now and without giving it much thought, the very thing that you've been thinking on, that's what you have accomplished. So that's why if you want to accomplish more you really have to give thought to doing more and you have to visualize…….
