Advanced Goal Achievement -
Visualization
I said Step 7 was
the really important bit. Let me explain why. The effectiveness of goals
are greatly enhanced with visualization. Some publications from the
field of sports psychology suggest that elite athletes are spending as
much as 30% of their time on mental work and visualizations. A
visualization not only involves the image you see but it becomes more
powerful as the other senses are introduced. This is especially true if
your dominant representation system (the way we represent the outside
world internally) is something other than visual. Your goal is more
powerful and effective when you visualize and visualize using all your
senses. So your visualization will include what you hear, what you feel
and your own self talk.
Adjusting sub
modalitiesIn
the one on one situation we increase the power of visualization by
adjusting submodalities. Submodalities are such things as the size of
your picture, its location, is it colour or black and white, is it still
or moving.
As we adjust these
submodalities you may find that at times you feel more positive, more
confident and more committed to your goal. When this happens we have
identified what is referred to as a driver. Drivers are things that
increase your drive towards your goal.
