In my view the way that visualising works is that it re-conditions your brain to look at things in a different way.
Over the years we become conditioned or hot wired to look at situations, events and even ourselves in a certain way. The more knock backs and failures we have in our lives the more cynical our view of the world and ourselves becomes.
This view, or belief, is how we look at new situations and events in our life. We canīt help it, it is how our brains have become use to working.
But with the use of visualisation we can re-wire our brains to look at a situation or event in a different way, or more importantly, the way we want it to be.
Our brains cannot differenciate between what is real and what is not so if we visualise on a result we want our brain will accept it as being the case.
Letīs face it, sportsmen and women have been using this process for years, and if you look at the writings of the well known self help authors from the turn of the last century they all recommend the same process.
This isnīt something that is new age and untried, this is age old stuff and the reason is because it actually works. The secret is to actually find out how to use the process properly in the first place.
Happy visualisation
