To be honest I have to use visualizing more, and one thing that I’ve noticed is for example when I want to manifest more beautiful women in my life …is that I can see their bodies, but not their faces. There are to many beautiful womens in the world and lots of beautiful faces ….what do you think about this ?

@Christoph Dollis: Why would running on a treadmill be a terrible thing for my body or my heart?

To answer your question though, I mostly did it as an exercise in discipline over my Ego and learned a lot.

“…I ran every day on my treadmill for 90 days straight without missing a day earlier in the year.”

In all seriousness, why the heck would you do that terrible thing to your body and your heart specifically?

@Jacob: Oh man, I can’t remember right now. I have like every multimedia program he put out so I can’t remember which one it was. Maybe you can find a clip on YouTube or something by searching for visualizing or goal setting workshop.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for bringing my awareness to the first-person aspect of visualisation, it’s something I have previously overlooked. Thinking about it now, I sometimes do visualise in 1st-person, but sometimes in 3rd-person. I think that 1st-person visualisations probably have been more effective in the past for me.

BTW What’s the name of the Tony Robbins audio you mentioned? Sounds awesome!

yes, visualization does not only mean that we have to image, instead , to use hearing or feeling is better for some people. I prefer more feeling than just imaging.

I remember a few years ago finally asking a friend of mine if they could actually see things when they closed their eyes and imagined something. He said he could and thought everyone could. It’s something we don’t always talk about so it’s great that you’ve mentioned people ‘visualize’ in different ways. I usually ‘see’ something like it’s a memory at the back of my mind but the emotions are extremely tangible. Occassionally the picture will flash infront of my eyes. I am working on improving my visual in visualization! Lucid dreaming is useful for this as it gives you a sensation of what it is like to fully ‘see’ something that isn’t there in waking reality and be conscious all at the same time.

@Annie Clay: No problem Annie, I really hope it helps you out. I especially loved the “stepping into” technique from Tony. The first time I heard it I was driving in my car, and we went through a health/exercise visualization… I got so pumped up and excited I wanted to pull the car over and jog home the rest of the way.

Brilliant! I think teachers can sometimes take for granted that others can do what we can do and forget to break things down into small steps. Thank you for breaking this down into small steps.

That Tony Robbins audio is awesome, and I’m pretty sure it’s the same one that I’ve listened to.

I can remember visualizing in the first person from a very young age, and I always found that when I visualize myself doing the things that I love, and I focus on them with positive affirmations they usually do become a reality.
