“Dreams come true.”
We must be overjoyed if our dreams came true. Everyone wants something special in life. It could be it a specific job, relationship, career, item or even a dream. We want this thing in our minds and our hearts. Some of us make an effort to get it and the path to achieving it can be very hard.
Thankfully, there are a few tips and tricks that we can use to stay motivated and achieve our desires faster. One of these tips is visualisation. This is where we use our imagination by focusing on mental images to create visions of exactly what we desire. After we focus on them, we can attach positive emotions to these images. This makes them very powerful in helping us to accomplish what we want in our lives.
How to use visualisation to achieve dreams?
- See and believe – Before you can focus and believe in a dream, you have to create an idea of what it looks like. This is accomplished by visualising it. When you visualise an event that you want to happen in future, you can begin to see the possibility of this event actually happening in your life. By visualising, you can create your preferred future. This motivates us and helps us to work towards our goals. As a matter of fact, there is substantial scientific research which indicates that visualisation actually works. Creating a vision of what you want and where you want to be is known as outcome visualisation. It is the process of seeing yourself achieving something that you desire. It requires you to use all your senses to see, hear and feel yourself finally getting to your ambition. This is one of the most effective ways to achieve your biggest dreams.
- Identify the processes required to get you there – Any big event is the culmination of many little ones. Your dream is no different. There are many smaller activities that you must perform before you achieve your dream. These activities build upon each other and prepare you for your ambition. For example, if your dream is to be a world-class athlete, then you have to achieve the fitness that is necessary for such an achievement. This process involves various exercises, diets and physical conditioning. As you visualise yourself winning medals on the world stage, make sure you envision yourself performing these preparations too. This is an activity known as process visualisation. In your mind’s eye, see yourself performing those exercises and consuming healthy foods as you prepare yourself for your big glorious moment as a world class athlete. This form of visualisation will help you to accomplish your biggest dream.
- See yourself as part of your vision – As you visualise, you should always see yourself within the vision. Do not be as an outsider looking in. Integrate yourself within your vision. See yourself among the characters and items that make up your image. Feel the atmosphere in the vision. You are the main protagonist of your vision. Therefore, you should be immersed in every part of what you desire. Your body, soul and mind should be in that moment as you visualise your desire. This creates a familiarity with your desire and maximises your chances of achieving your biggest dream.
- Have a positive dialog within your vision – Words carry weight. In visualisation, they are powerful. They can create ideas in your mind that will get you closer to your desire. Therefore, you should always include them in your vision as you visualise. If you visualise yourself winning an award, you can include your speech in the vision. Let it be full of positive words that you would want to say at that moment. If your dream is to be rich, you can visualise yourself saying words such as “I am wealthy”. This kind of self-dialogue helps you to affirm your ideas, desires or your dream. It makes it much more real to your subconscious and eventually brings it to fruition.
- Be confident in universal support – The universe is constantly working to give us what we desire. Whenever you want something, it gives it to you. It can take some time but eventually, you will get what you desire. This phenomenon is highly important in visualisation. As you create the mental images of your heart’s desires, feel confident that the universe is bringing it to you. Enjoy the bountiful supply from the universe that will help you to get everything in your biggest dream.
- Do not try to use visualisation to manipulate others – Visualisation is a very important and effective tool to use for bringing your dreams to accomplishment. However, it does not work when you try to use it for manipulating other people. You cannot visualise yourself making other people do what you want. Visualisation has no power over free will. Try your best not to project your visions on the environment around you. However, ensure that they are focused on you.
- Get out of your comfort zone – There should be no limits in your mind. As you create mental pictures, do not limit yourself or be sensible with the visions which you create. It is not your job to imagine only that which is possible. Go beyond that and venture into what you consider impossible. Imagine this, believe in it and visualise yourself in it. Envision yourself with the things that you truly desire in your heart and mind but you don’t have them right now. Try your best to go into every little detail as you visualise. After you do this, have faith in the process, believe in yourself and watch your dreams turn into reality.
