Why Visualization Works

Start with your Goals

Start with having a goal, something you want. Then you picture it in your mind, ie create a VISION of what you want. My coaching teaches how to visualize for optimum results. Your vision is something that you don’t currently have, so it does not match your REALITY. This creates STRUCTURAL TENSION or dissonance in your brain.

This leads to a SHIFT IN PERCEPTION.

All of a sudden you start seeing things in your environment that match your vision. That filter or Reticular Activating System of the brain starts allowing you to see things that have been there all the time but did not match your programme or your priorities, so you did not notice them.

This leads to EXPANDED CREATIVITY and ways to accomplish your vision start coming into your awareness. This leads to INCREASED MOTIVATION to have the object of your vision. Motivation means a motive for action or a reason to get your rear end into gear.

This results in you taking ACTION to accomplish the desired end result. Then you need to get feedback and take corrective action if necessary and persevere. For more Contact John on 082 920 5231 or [email protected], www.johnbroome.co.za

Goal Setting = Personal Strategic Planning

Juliette MorrisSharpen Your Brain Power, Success In Business

Personal strategic planning helps you clarify what you want in each of the 6 life areas as below. Ask yourself how happy and fulfilled you are in each area. If you were to rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest, you would probably find your lowest ratings in the area where you experience the most stress and unhappiness. Consider what areas may need adjusting for you to be more satisfied with your results.

Financial and Career / Business: How do you become extremely successful and satisfied and move to the top of your field? How do you get your financial life under control and achieve financial independence?

Relationships: How do you achieve balance between external success and personal relationships?

Material things: What are the things you want to ensure you live a more fulfilled life?

Social and Leisure: How do you make time for fun and enjoyment?

Personal Development: How do you identify and acquire the key knowledge and skills that you need to live an extraordinary life? What do you need to do to enrich yourself spiritually? How can you make a real difference in the world and leave a lasting legacy?

Health and Fitness: How do you achieve and maintain high levels of fitness, energy and overall well-being?

Once you rate yourself in these 6 areas, you can determine what steps you need to take to turn things around. The following 7 steps make up a system of planning and goal setting you can use to decide where to put the emphasis of your attention in each of the 6 life areas.

1) Values: What are the values, qualities and traits that are most important to you in each area of your life? Go back and add to the section on values!

2) Vision: If your life were perfect in this area five years from today, what would it look like?

3) Goals: What specific goals must you achieve to fulfill your ideal future vision in that area?

4) Knowledge and Skills: In what areas will you have to excel in the future to achieve your goals and fulfill your vision?

5) Habits: What specific habits of thought and action do you need to become the person who is capable of achieving the goals you have set for yourself?

1) Daily Activities: What specific activities do you have to engage in each day to ensure that you become the person that you want to become and achieve the goals you want to achieve?

2) Actions: What specific action or actions are you going to take immediately to begin realizing your ideal future vision?

The greater the CLARITY you have about who you are, what you want and what you need to do to create the life you envision, the more power you have to make it happen.

Now is the time to decide specifically want you want to achieve in the particular areas on your life. Just some guidelines in deciding on what goals are important to you. I like to refer to the acronym SMARTER when formulating goals:

S Specific. Goals have to be specific. The brain likes detail. Vague goals means vague results. Not I want to earn more money, but “I choose to have a net monthly income of R_____. Much like you formulate your affirmations.

M Measurable. How will you know when you have achieved your goal. Some people have a goal to be happy. How do you measure that? Rather have goals to do the things that you think will make you happy. Have a system to measure you progress.

A Achievable. Your goals have to be achievable and realistic. Is it do-able?

R Relevant. Is the goal relevant to you or is it someone else’s goal for you. Make sure your goals are your personal goals.

T Time related. Goals have got to have a deadline. By when do you want to achieve the goal.

E Excitement. Your goals must excite you. Do you get goose bumps when you think of your goals?

R Recorded. Your goals have to be written down. A Harvard study showed that only 3% of people were independently wealthy. The only measurable difference between this group and the rest was that the 3% group had written and specific goals and a plan for achieving them. We don’t need to re-invent the wheel, the formula for success has already been written.

Some further guidelines to writing the goals in the optimal way for the brain to work at its maximum potential to help you achieve your goals:

· Write them in the present tense as though you had already achieved them.

· Include some ‘emotion’ words. For example “I choose to be HAPPILY driving my new red Porsche Carrera down the highway.

· Start the goal statement with the words “I choose to have .. ..”.

· Create choices that you deem worthwhile and valuable. Willy nilly goals are not going to provide much motivation for you.

A great book to read on this subject is Brian Tracy’s book “Focal Point”. He also has a free e-book on goals.

Decide now on the 5 most important goals you want to achieve in each of the areas of your life. Back to the Secret – Asking, Believing and Receiving. Asking is goal setting.

In a future Blog I will address how to go about planning the achievement of a goal so that nothing is left to chance.

8 Steps to Personal Success

Juliette MorrisAbundance and Properity, Sharpen Your Brain Power, Success In Business

Step No 1

Develop a winning attitude. W. Clement Stone said “There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative”.

So, what are attitudes? Simply put, they are habits of thought. And just like habits, attitudes become ingrained in our subconscious mind and become an automatic way of thinking. Henry Ford said “think you can, think you can’t, either way you are right”.

How do we develop a winning attitude? Use the neural reconditioning techniques of affirmations or NLP. Reams have been written about these techniques, you just need to pick up any self help book and they will be explained in detail.

Another easy way is to use subliminal CD’s which help you to get that winning attitude without taking time out of your daily schedule. I am sure you all know about my subliminal products, but just as a reminder you can have a look at www.johnbroome.co.za.

Visualization processes are so powerful. Dr John F Demartini says “if you get absolutely crystal clear on exactly what you would love, and see nothing but that, it is almost impossible for you not to get it”! When you clearly picture in your mind what you want and do this repeatedly to ‘burn’ it into the subconscious mind, then that part of your brain will seek to make it so.

Step No 2

Clarify your thinking. Become crystal clear about what you want to achieve. Be detailed and specific. “I want to earn more money” is no good! To your brain earning an extra R10 is earning more money! Word it like this “I choose to have a net monthly income of R… “.

Make your objective Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time related (or deadlined), something you are Enthusiastic about and it must be Recorded or written down. (SMARTER goals)

Step No 3

Develop a plan for achieving your goal with a date for its achievement. You need to break the goal down into actionable steps, with a deadline for the attainment of each individual step. This plan must be in writing.

You have to know what you need to do and by when it has to be done. A goal without a plan serves no purpose. I have a very useful goal planning template, if you would like a copy, drop me an email.

Step No 4

Develop a sincere desire for what you want. Writing down the benefits of achieving the goal arouses your desire. Not just the physical benefits, but the emotional benefits as well. See yourself having the goal and imagine how you feel now that you have achieved the target.

This is important because the benefits of achieving the goal must outweigh the work needed to accomplish it. Otherwise there is no motivation to get going and sustain the momentum.

Step No 5

Develop confidence in your ability to achieve the objective. The way to develop your self confidence is to use affirmations and visualization or, Subliminal or Paraliminal CD’s. Confidence also builds through successfully completing your action steps. As you see yourself getting closer to the desired end result, so your confidence grows in your ability to achieve it. It is really a 2- pronged approach – you need to do the mental conditioning work as well as taking the necessary action.

Step No 6

Express gratitude. Be grateful for all the things you already have, even if they are not the greatest! Also be grateful for the things that you want to create in your life. Express gratitude as though you had already achieved that goal. Feel that gratitude! Find the thing that you are most grateful for in your life and really get into that feeling. Then use that same feeling when being grateful for what you want to create.

God (or the Universe) works in strange ways. If you are grateful for what you have, you will be given more things to be grateful for. On the converse, if you are given a gift by someone and you don’t show any gratitude, do you think that person will give you a gift again?

Step No 7

Take goal directed action. Follow through on your plan, regardless of obstacles, criticism or setbacks. You need to persevere. This brings us to the logical next step:

Step No 8

Get feedback. Are the actions you are taking getting you closer to the desired end result or taking you away from it? Keep monitoring where your actions are taking you. If they are not getting you to where you want to be, you have to change what you are doing.

Remember the old saying “carry on doing what you have always done and you will carry on getting what you’ve always got”. If you are stuck and don’t know how to proceed, find someone who has already achieved what you want. Invite him or her to breakfast and ask for assistance / advice. Most people are very amenable to assisting others in a mentorship role, when they are asked.

For business owners we could add in a Step no 9. You need to develop a Marketing Plan that gets you new prospects / clients and makes you profit. I take small business owners through Jay Abraham’s MasterMind Marketing Program, a 1 day workshop to help you get more clients who spend more money, more often! When these three things happen, exponential growth takes place in a business.

There you go. There is no rocket science to personal achievement. Just follow the process and you must eventually get there.

Remember you only fail when you quit! Develop strong enough ‘whys’, or reasons / benefits for having what you want. Then develop ‘stick-to-it-ive-ness’, persevere and you must eventually climb your mountain.

I help my clients get to where they want to be by taking them through my coaching programme “The System for Personal Success”. To get what you’ve never had, you must do what you have never done! So ask yourself this question – What sort of a person do I need to become so that I can do the things necessary to get what I want?
