Challenge

First, I had not got the full information about this crucial element “Visualization” until I got  through this course which widened my horizon greatly to discover the importance of many  hidden things. Visualization techniques have been used by successful people to visualize their  desired outcomes for ages.

The practice has even given some high achievers what seems like super-powers, helping them  create their dream lives by accomplishing one goal or task at a time with hyper focus and  complete confidence.

In fact, we all have this awesome power, but most of us have never been taught to use it  effectively.

Application

I can tell that now I have been changed completely. My mind and thought can easily analyze  data and go beyond to think deeply not only about what’s seen but more importantly about  what’s not seen and what I desire to see in the near future. Now, I am working with a friend on a  project using what I have learnt and try my best to apply it.  The daily practice of visualizing my dreams as already complete can rapidly accelerate my  achievement of those dreams, goals, and ambitions.

Our brain is constantly using visualization in the process of simulating future experiences, but  this process happens so naturally that you generally aren't even aware of it, the same way  you usually aren't aware that you are breathing. If you aren't aware of it then you aren't actively  directing the process. I can learn to use visualization to actively create future simulations that can  help me  improve the goals that you set for yourself.

You can create two types of simulations, outcome and process. An outcome simulation is a  sensory-based representation of the final outcome you expect, and a process situation involves  simulating the steps that get you to the final outcome. Research shows that to get the most  benefit from simulations, it is best to use both types together.  Also, as you create your  simulation using the participant perspective instead of the observer perspective has been shown  to be most effective. You don't want to see yourself in the simulation, you want to see it through  your eyes as if you are a part of the simulated experience.  Using simulation can improve  your motivation and increase your belief in your ability to achieve a goal.

Insight

The more details I have in visualization the more real it will seem, and the more it will increase  performance as the brain starts to develop neural connections that result from the repeated visual  image along with enhancing motivation that increases the likelihood of taking an action toward  your goal. For example, if you think about wanting a piece of chocolate cake but immediately  dismiss the thought, you quickly forget about it. However, if you think about a piece of chocolate  cake, close your eyes and spend a few minutes really imagining the details, the creamy frosting,  the warm moist cake, how wonderful it would taste, savoring the image until your mouth starts to  water, your drive to get a piece of cake would increase dramatically.

At this point, your brain's natural problem-solving process will go to work helping you develop a  plan for how to obtain what you want. You might start to think about stopping at your favorite  bakery on the way home from work. The best way to create detail and enhance the quality of  your simulation is to picture and describe it using all of your senses. Keep adding in more detail  until the process starts to feel as real as if you were actually experiencing it.
