We all set goals, especially when we are going to start something, be it in school, work, university and in our personal lives. In a study done by a British psychologist, with thousands of people to know how many people achieve their goals and dreams, showed that only 10% of people achieved it. Why the other percentage does not? , basically this happens because we are not clear about what goal we want to achieve or that if we have our clear goal we do not have effective strategies to achieve it.
- It is necessary to have an action plan where you commit to fulfill your goal in the short or long term, and visualize how we will feel at that moment.
Visualization helps you achieve your dream
Michael Phelps, the well-known Olympic athlete, winner of more than 20 gold medals, assures that since he is a child every night he went through his head what he calls "The video of the perfect way to swim" where when closing his eyes he could look and feel in an incredible way, and that just thinking about it was enough motivation to improve their training.
- The visualization is a technique is a psychological technique that lies in imaginary recreating a past, future or fictitious history, which contains a certain emotional charge. It is important that during this technique we will use correct internal words, place the emotional state, introduce sounds, and involve everything we want in that moment of visualization, so that we can mobilize the internal resources that protect and enhance health and find an adequate balance of emotions and reinforce the natural ability to focus better and work for our personal goals.
Do this daily exercise and you will see how it happens
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine what would you like to achieve in the future? or what would you like to change?
Once you have that image in your mind, ask yourself the following questions:
- How much time do I need to get to that moment?
- How far do I need to go?
Now, when I am at that moment visualize at the beginning, we place sounds to him what we want to hear and how we feel (happiness, pride, fulfillment, wellbeing) being this the most important part, because from there we are going to mobilize, the Emotions are a motor of change, feeling them to the fullest makes us imbibe learning our existence. When we return to the present, and from that emotion that we experience, we ask ourselves the following questions with open eyes, what am I doing today that allows me to reach that goal? and if the answer is nothing, try to do something that has to do and get closer to meet your goals, what concrete things you can do from now on to achieve your goals.
