Are you using self help motivation to set your life goals? Is goal setting even important?

Life’s Journey

If you’ve ever set out to drive a long distance to a specific destination, did you use a map? Seems like a silly question I know, but would you agree that without the map you would probably have got lost along the way? Yet many people try to journey through life without a map and wonder why they feel lost.

Goal setting is after all just as simple as reading a map although when it comes to setting goals, you get to create the map. Once you have created your life map and have it clearly written out and know what you want and where you want to go, it’s time to follow your map.

The Minds Eye

A road map is a visual tool. It provides you with text, pictures and symbols to help you navigate the terrain ahead, but vision can also help you with your life map except in this case you use your internal vision.

Of all our five senses, that of vision is the most used and we tend to respond more to what we see than to what we hear. You can fill your mind with images and change those images anytime you want to. Athletes have been doing this for years. They will vividly visualize the race being run, crossing the finishing line ahead of everyone else. A golfer will vividly visualize his ball following the perfect line and dropping into the cup before he or she steps foot on the golf course. A soccer player will vividly visualize the ball curling into the corner of the net before taking a free kick.

Paint A Picture

Using visualization creatively is not just confined to athlete’s or the sporting arena. Anyone can do it. It just takes a little practice. Your subconscious can’t tell the difference between an actual event and a repeatedly imagined event. If you constantly visualize successful outcomes, that is what you will get. Look at your list of goals and clearly picture what it is that you wish to achieve, the clearer and more focused the better. Soon your creative subconscious will enable you to succeed.

Can You See Yourself Doing It?

Find somewhere quite, where you can relax and you wont be disturbed. Picture yourself working at the goal you have in mind and make sure that you are in the picture. Visualize all the pieces dropping into place effortlessly, visualize the successful outcome. For example, you may have an impending job interview so visualize yourself prior to the interview feeling cool, calm and collected. See yourself in the interview, answering questions easily, allowing the interviewer’s to come to the clear understanding that you are the right person for the job. See their faces smiling as you shake hands, knowing that the job is yours. Remember. What you visualize is what you get. Sound crazy? Believe me it works. This is a very powerful way to use self help motivation.

It Makes Sense

When your visualizing a successful outcome don’t forget to use all of your senses. In the above example for instance you can visualize the comforting smell and taste of your favorite drink, brought to you while you wait to go into your interview. You can visualize hearing the excitement in the voices of your interviewer’s as they realize that your the person that they want. You can feel the warmth of their handshake as they greet you.

Although it may seem a little presumptuous of me, I know that you’ve enjoyed reading this article. How do I know? because I visualized writing this article before I sat down at my laptop. I visualized that it would provide you the reader with some useful information and of course, I used self help motivation and visualized you enjoying it.
