How Visualisation can change your life
How just 30 seconds a day of visualisation can change your life and manifest success.
Visualisation can help with problems such as depression or general pessimism, as well as improving the lives of seemingly content people. By using visualisation, you can manifest your future and make your aspirations come true.
How it works
In each of our brains, we have something called the reticular activating system. This is a neurological system that allows certain information to be processed and other information to be blocked or ignored. This causes people with depression, feelings of low self-worth or just general pessimists to only take in information that proves these ideas. For example, if someone believes that they are unlovable they are going to be processing information that proves this true.
Reprogramming
We program our reticular activating system, the same way it can work against us and process things that confirm negative beliefs, it can also be used in the exact opposite way. We can train our brains to point out the positives and make us believe in ourselves, boosting confidence and making you want to step outside your comfort zone. When you may want to speak up in a meeting or in class instead of your mind looking for reasons not to, you look for reasons to speak up and give your opinion. It allows you to achieve your full potential and have a more positive outlook on the world and daily life.
How to do it?
It takes just 30 seconds a day to use visualisation to reprogram your reticular activating system. One way of doing this is to relax, close your eyes and visualise what your life looks like when your self worth has improved. Focus on the feelings connected with the visualisations. What does it feel like to buy the house you always wanted to? What does it feel like to go to the gym and eat healthily? By doing this you are reprogramming your reticular activating system to look for these feelings and achievements. Changing a whole network of neurons that act as a filter of what you take in. Studies have even proven that visualisation develops a skill 50% of what it would if you were actually doing it. The best visualisations are your goals and aspirations and how it feels to have increased self-worth.I
