Visualizing Success Will Make Your Dreams Come
True
Self-help gurus frequently tout the powers of visualising. They claim
that simply picturing yourself
accomplishing your goals will help you achieve them.
Psychological research, on the other hand, reveals that these
visualisation activities can be harmful at times.
When you see yourself instantaneously successful, you lose the drive
to go out and attain your goals. A better
method is to imagine yourself completing the actions necessary to
achieve your objectives.
If you want to lose weight, imagine yourself eating properly and
exercising rather than envisioning yourself
instantaneously skinny.
