Seize Success Through Positive Visualization

When you imagine something through your mind, what's in your mind's mind: do you imagine an achievement, an appreciation and a win or vice versa, a failure and a downturn?

A number of researches show that visualization has a powerful effect on our performance. When our imagination is always hit by shadows of despair and pessimism, then our brain tissue will slowly push us to really experience a downturn.

On the contrary, when we always build a positive image of ourselves, we are actually starting and strengthening the "perfect way of working" in our brain. In turn, the cell network in the brain will be able to encourage us to also achieve perfection in real performance. "The more we practice perfection through mental rehearsals," says Kris Cole in his treatise entitled Positive Visualization.


Athletes and athletes have fantasized for years to be perfect. And in fact, one of the world's golfers, Jack Nicklaus, puts 50 percent of his success as he diligently builds positive visuals.

Then how to do a good positive visualization? Here are the practical steps that can be done:

First is to set clear and challenging goals, goals you want to achieve. Also, the goal we want to achieve is specific. For example: You imagine wanting to have a network of special bookstores for children.

Then start doing the visualization:
- Relax. Look for moments where you are relaxed. This will make your brain more open to start and strengthen the "right way of working"

- Focus your attention on the concrete steps that must be taken to start the children's bookstore chain business. What needs to be done, what steps to take, how you will manage the store, how you conduct promotions, manage store employees, and raise a store into a children's choice bookstore.

- Imagine your goals as detailed as possible. Imagine everything: the exact location where the bookstore is located, the interior design of the store, the color combination of tables and chairs, the layout of the book, and then imagine the hustle and bustle of the kids who fill every corner of your store.

- Then, involve your emotions. How does it feel to be able to reach that goal perfectly? How does it feel to actually have a network of children's book kiosks that are visited by everyday buyers. Incorporating feelings and emotions will strengthen the "right way of working" system in your brain.

Next do the same thing over and over again. To get optimal results, do a positive visualization every time you have free time, at least once a day, for example when you will sleep and relax.

But it should be mentioned immediately that "beautiful dream" or beautiful dreams must also be followed by the steps of preparing strategies and real action. Slowly it must be determined to begin executing your strategy through a series of concrete and systematic concrete actions. Well, in the implementation process, we must keep continuing to regularly perform a positive visualization.

Okay, congratulations on doing a positive visualization. Goodluck !!
