Visualizations like this work because the mind responds to what we repeatedly imagine and feel.

When you vividly imagine a desired future, your brain begins to register it as familiar and possible, shifting what you notice, what you believe, and how you move through the world.

This helps loosen limiting patterns and strengthens new ways of thinking and being that support the life you want to create.

For this to be effective, allow yourself to fully enter the experience, engaging the images, sensations, and emotions as clearly as you can, while in a relaxed, open state.

1) Our brain doesn’t differentiate between real memories and imagined ones. When you imagine something with vivid detail you create an emotional connection that registers as a real memory in your mind.

2) Visualizations tell the mind what to focus on. We receive millions of bits of information a day and our mind has to select what to filter in and it looks for things that match what we are already thinking, believing and feeling.

3) Visualizations can override the limiting beliefs that are standing in the way of our success, replacing them with new positive beliefs.

Visualizing our desired outcomes makes us better at moving towards them—because we are immersing ourselves in our success in an experiential way that creates an emotional connection, it literally rewires our brain, and replaces limiting beliefs, making our success feel more real and more possible.

It is important that the visualizations are detailed, including the feelings and sensations, images, and people involved with as much detail as possible and that you are in a deep relaxed state when you do them.
