VISUALIZATION

One of the steps recommending by leaders with substance, such as Brian Tracy, is to visualize what it will totally feel and look like when you've achieved what you want.  It actually motivates the individual, as emotion is actually a potent force - see Managing The Mind section of Psychology. 

One effect of visualizing something in a "positive" light is that one not only "feels" motivated but also one begins to create more of the details, as a part of the thinking process.  It is a soundly based way of changing how you are anticipating a future event to turn out and how you feel about it.  It is at the base of all success planning.  One of the famous people who did was the champion golfer Jack Nicklaus.  But almost all of the great philosophers and leaders in the field of being successful hold visualization as a vital component of creating success!

This is a way of creating a new future, one that cannot be created with any other process.

Use this practice to "think" and create things ahead of time AND to uplift one's mood and attitude for greater success.  Go to Positive Framing And Seeing Ahead.



VISION BOARDS (AKA TREASURE MAPS)

Some people consider this as corny, but the basic brain (read the Managing The Mind section of Psychology) responds well, plus it is a way of keeping these things on your mind so that you'll be more likely to choose them.
