Creative Visualization – Manifesting Your Own Reality

Big or small, everybody has goals in their lives and they work hard to achieve them. Creative visualization is a step that involves tuning your brain in a manner that it can feel and experience the success beforehand. It is important to manifest your own reality in order to make the journey to success a pleasant one. This starts by seeing yourself achieving your goals from the time you have taken your first step. Believing in your dreams and seeing them turning out in your thoughts is an important step in actually achieving them. This gives you much needed fuel to take any goals with ease.

Let me elaborate this more with an example. Imagine you have been given a $2 million sales target to achieve this quarter. One way to go about is thinking it to be tough one and living in fear of failure for complete quarter. Another way is believing in yourself and working hard without any thought of failure. Still, there is another way of creative visualization that supersede any method you might want to use for achieving success. It involves manifesting the reality by imagining that you are already successful and that you have topped in sales charts. You think that you have not only achieved the goals but company has honored you by giving the free trip to Hawaii. You take yourself in the zone of success where there is no room to think about failure or any sort of rejection.

When you reach this state of mind, you tend to kill all fears that pulls you back for achieving your goals. You perform at your best with free mind which in turn gives a real boost to your efforts.

Keeping the benefits in mind, Creative visualization needs to be done in a right manner to manifest the reality else it can go against you. I will elaborate the process with my own examples that would help you to make the real use of it.

When I failed- When Creative visualization was done in a wrong manner to manifest the reality

Few years back I participated in 2 mile race. My competition was with my batch mates in college. I started preparing for it 2 months before the actual date of race. I called on the ability of creative visualization to visualize success and by seeing myself defeating everyone. All I thought was crossing the finish line and holding the trophy. It helped me to prepare for race and give me enough confidence.

But on the race day I failed miserably. I started with full confidence and was ahead from everyone. But suddenly two people overtook me and started to maintain quite a bit distance. Seeing this something went in my head and I stopped. Yes, I stopped. And when I reasoned out why it happened to me the answer was simple. My visualization had gone wrong. I visualized success without visualizing the steps that would have taken me to achieve the success. It helped me to prepare for the race but when things didn’t turned out as anticipated, deep inside my dreams got shattered and I accepted defeat without any effort.

When I got Success – Creative Visualization done the right way

I had my lesson from the past. So next time when I started to study for one of my important presentation, at big level to represent my college, I used a different technique

1) I visualized success

2) I visualized myself performing at my best with full command

3) I visualized having control over audience

But I also visualized

1) The hard work involved

2) How I had to beat my competitors

3) How I took control of tough situations

4) How I acquired extra skills to get edge over competitors

5) How I had endured pain but come out with success every time.

And that helped me. My creative visualization helped me not only to visualize success but with also every bit of the journey. I visualized it in a manner that even if stand to loose in between, since I had visualized it beforehand, it looked familiar to me and I was prepared to overcome it.

The Difference

1) I visualized success

2) I visualized the journey

3) I visualized pain

4) In every situation I visualized myself working hard and achieving success.

In a way I made sure nothing in my journey came as surprise to me. It helped me to prepare for worst by seeing it happening to me and then giving my best to come out with success.

It worked. It is working out for me even today.

I have tried this in numerous situations and it has worked for me without fail. I have always not only visualized success but also the problems involved and how I got over it. It always took me in a different zone where I had no fear but courage to take the problems involved. My mind was tuned to take hardships because inside I always knew that success would just be round the corner.

Manifesting the reality involves your preparation and creative visualization is the best process to make it happen. Practice it and you would see a real difference in your approach to achieve any goal in life.
