Visualization is important to me and one of my key modes of planning and operation. There is much self help material based upon this, some is very good, some just fails to get the message across. Great article and comments I agree totally.

I love to visualize before I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning. I'll lay in bed and visualize how I want my day to go. It's a great way to start the day. I agree with Maggi, I think we all visualize - Excellent thoughts on visualization! I love to visualize before I go to bed at night and when I wake up in the morning.

There is no short cut to creating your true personal development and success by repeating prayers, mantras or great sounding sentances. Visualization is a tremendous mental exercise which many famous people have used to achieve and maintain their goals, not by repeating words, but in the thinking of certain thoughts and creating vivid pictures that they wanted to see happen or become real. The more often you can use visualization in your daily life, the closer you will get to achieving a particular goal. As Goethe said; "And the thoughts that we repeatedly think become habitual, and make us what we are." As a golf professional, I have to use certain "hooks" [excuse the pun!] on my students to get them to excel at different levels of their understanding and performance; which they don't always believe are possible. And one technique I use quite a lot is "Imagine If.....!" which is where the student actually moves from one physical state to another, just through using the power of thought and their imagination! So yes, I agree totally with any technique which allows people to enhance their performances and become what they would really like to be. In parting, I remember studying Dr. Dennis Waitley's material back in the early eighties as he worked with Olympic athletes to actually play their races back in their mind. When they monitored the responses of the athletes, it was noticed that all the same muscles that were used in the race were actually being fired up again by the athletes imagination! Incredible stuff isn't it this mind of ours and the power that we all possess? THE purpose of mental exercises or visualization techniques should not be misunderstood.

The technique you suggest of visualizing something bad then flipping to something good is used in nlp to help people in all sorts of ways. I've used it on myself and others and I know how successful it can be. Many people don't seem to realize they visualize automatically all the time - try to remember where you left something, for example, and you'll most likely run the picture of what you've been doing through your mind. Or you're planning a trip away, and 'looking forward' i.e. visualizing what it will be like. It's a small step from this to use the technique consciously and profitably. Some people find it easy to engage all their senses, but others struggle with this. The secret is to relax and not worry how good your visualization actually is. Describing the scene to yourself, in full sensory detail, works as well. Visualization is also a key component of nuero-linguistic programing, as I learnt many years ago.
