The fourth strategy introduces the idea of mental contrasting, a technique proposed by psychologist Gabrielle Oettingen. This not only includes visualizing your desired outcome but also requires acknowledging the potential obstacles that could hinder progress.
The WOOP method (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) serves as a practical implementation of this concept. It encourages individuals to detail their wishes, foresee obstacles, and devise actionable plans to address them. Allocating just a few moments to consider the challenges associated with your goals can significantly enhance strategic planning and preparedness.
